    Theory of paranormal
    May 1 2023
    This final podcast is divided into two sections. The first section provides an overview of all the evidence we have presented during the podcast. The second part discusses the theories of the paranormal. I argue that there is a significant amount of evidence for paranormal phenomena that can’t be ignored.

  • I say a little pray for you, Does distance healing work?

    I say a little pray for you, Does distance healing work?
    Apr 27 2023
    This is the last of the paranormal mini-series on bioenergetics or PK. In this podcast, we focus our attention on influencing biological systems at a distance. We discuss four main areas; (1) Placebo effect, (2) Cell/Biological Level, (3) Distance Healing, and (4) Prayer. We discuss the research evidence and conclude there is some evidence for influencing the non-system level. The research for distance healing and prayer is less robust. However, the research in the literature suggests there is an association between the quality of study design and positive results.

  • PK Influencing people’s attention & Dowsing

    PK Influencing people’s attention & Dowsing
    Apr 24 2023
    This is the first of two podcasts around whether people can influence objects without conventional methods, i.e., touching them. In this podcast, we discuss whether there is experimental evidence for the everyday experience of sensing someone looking at you. For example, when you turn around, there is someone there. We then discuss three main research areas, influencing a person’s attention, physical state, and lastly, we discuss dowsing. Overall, we discover there is a statistically significant experiment suggesting the phenomena are genuine.

  • I thought of the person, and they phoned, evidence for telepathy?

    I thought of the person, and they phoned, evidence for telepathy?
    Apr 17 2023
    We discuss the most researched of all paranormal phenomena, which is telepathy. Telepathy is the alleged ability to communicate non-locally between persons. We discuss research that is tested to everyday experiences, such as when you think of a person and that person calls. We discuss the start of the experimental research in the 1920s to the Ganzfeld experiment. Overall the evidence for telepathy suggests it’s a genuine phenomenon in some of the population.

  • Remote viewing

    Remote viewing
    Apr 13 2023
    : In the first mini-series of experimental evidence for Extra Sensory Perception, we discuss remote viewing. Remote viewing is the ability to perceive a location or time that your body is not located in. The majority of the research we discuss comes from open-sourced information from the US program Stargate from experimental and operational evidence. We also present other evidence of remote reviewing from Archaeology and Financial Markets. Overall, we find evidence for remote viewing.

    Are ghosts real or imagined?
    Apr 6 2023
    In this podcast, we examine what is a haunting, and whether there is any evidence for haunting. During the podcast, we discuss research around eyewitness testimony. We start with a survey that approximately 30% of people report having some experience suggestive of being contacted by the deceased. Next, we discuss commonalities in these experiences and the different visual, auditory, and smells during hauntings.
