Daniel Neiman

{{pseudosciencenav}}
'''Daniel John Neiman''' is an [[American]] [[creationist]], [[parapsychologist]], [[pseudoscience]] promoter and [[spiritualist]] [[crank]].

Neiman claims to specialize in studying altered states of [[consciousness]] and has written a series of [[woo]] articles in the ''New Dawn'' magazine (supporting [[creationism]]) and for The Near-Death Experience Research Foundation. He regurgitates all the standard creationist arguments in his article "Intelligent Design Scientific Facts Point Us in a New Direction".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131002002421/http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/special-issues/new-dawn-special-issue-vol-7-no-5 New Dawn Special Issue Vol.7 No.5]</ref>

He is the owner of the [[paranormal]] website [https://web.archive.org/web/20120927025417/http://www.anomalousexperience.com/index.html "Anomalous Experience"]. His book ''Enter the Light'' (2012) embraces all kinds of [[pseudoscience]] including [[intelligent design]], [[UFO]]/[[alien abduction]]s and spiritualism. Neiman ignores any skeptical literature on these subjects. He claims [[out-of-body experience]]s prove the existence of a "multi-dimensional reality" even though OBE's have a {{wpl|Out-of-body experience#Psychological|psychological explanation.}}

Neiman believes that fraudulent [[medium]]s such as [[Eusapia Palladino]] and [[Leonora Piper]] communicated with [[spirits]], and he ignores any evidence of fraud in the mediums he has written about. He is most notable for [[trolling]] various blogs and forums claiming the medium [[Daniel Dunglas Home]] was never caught in fraud. In reality Home was caught cheating by a number of different [[séance]] sitters.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130819171644/http://monkeywah.typepad.com/paranormalia/2013/05/dean-radins-psi-research-list.html Daniel trolling the blog of Robert McLuhan]</ref> Neiman claims every medium was genuine; even the [[Fox sisters]], who confessed to their fraud (he invokes a [[conspiracy theory]] about their confession). 

He posts various conspiracy theories and pseudoscience on the spiritualist blogs of [[Robert McLuhan]] and [[Michael Prescott]]. He also claims the crank podcast of [[Alex Tsakiris]] is "one of the best internet radio shows around."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120927025359/http://www.anomalousexperience.com/Links.html A crank supporting another crank]</ref>

Neiman currently resides in Seoul, [[South Korea]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/dan4112 Daniel Neiman on Twitter]</ref>
