  • Looking Back to Duke
    Looking Back to Duke Sometimes, a look back is a good thing, if for no other reason than that you can see how mistakes were made in the past. Today, I am going to write a few words about the past, the time when ASUP was first hatched and the nest from which it flew. Duke University is known for a lot of things, not the least of which is a good basketball team, but the name Duke when mentioned in the paranormal research community, should be akin to gazing down onto the Holy Grail. It is, for better or worse, ground zero in our field and we can learn a lot from it. But the true story does not begin with the Psychical Research Foundation (PRF) at Duke, in truth it goes back a bit further, to a court battle over the will of a man called James Kidd. Kidd was a lone prospector who called the Superstition Mountains home. In December, 1949, Kidd was reported missing from a single room motel in Phoenix. According to legend, Kidd died in the mountains, sitting on a new claim and was buried by strangers on the site. His body was never recovered and for most folks, that was all they knew about James Kidd. Unbeknownst to everyone was the fact that this penniless prospector was not penniless at all. In 1960 his will showed up in Probate Court, brought to light by the E.F. Hutton Company, who had been handling Kidd’s financial affairs. Kidd was worth a little more than half a million dollars! In the ensuing legal battle, a judge first awarded the funds to a major hospital, based on his interpretation of Kidd’s will, which stated that the money should go to anyone who would research and prove the existence of a “visible spirit.” A higher court then heard appeals to the finding, and the money was divided between two organizations and earmarked in the court’s words, “To study the possibility of the survival of human intelligence after death.” What was to become the PRF at Duke found its funding from the Kidd estate.

  • Magic in the Moonlight

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 50%, based on 151 reviews, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The site's consensus states: "While far from a failure, Magic in the Moonlight is too slight to stand with Woody Allen's finest work."

Rex Reed, writing for The New York Observer , gave the film a largely positive review, calling it "a masterstroke of enchantment" and praising Colin Firth's acting. Jordan Hoffman of Film.com also enjoyed the film, stating, "This picture isn’t as showy or obvious as one of his (many) masterpieces, but it is quite good and deserves your time and respect."

Version: Submitted version T http://nectarC.northampton.ac.uk/9846/ NE The Psychic Life of Dr Alex Tanous Callum E. Cooper Last year marked the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the Alex Tanous Foundation for Scientific Research (Portland, Maine, USA). Had Dr Alex Tanous himself lived into 2016 this year would have marked his 90th birthday. Given two such milestones of such importance to the Alex Tanous Foundation have been reached, I’d like to reach out to readers in this article and share a brief glimpse of the life and work of Dr Tanous – especially for those who are not familiar with the man, the scholar or the psychic. Alexander Tanous was born in Van Buren, Maine, to Lebanese parents and was the eldest of eight brothers. Before Alex was born, his father was friends with the Lebanese writer, Kahil Gibran – author of The Prophet 1 – who presented Alex’s father with a prediction: “You will have a son, a man of exceptional gifts, of great abilities – but also a man of great sorrows.” When Alex Tanous was born this prediction appeared to show itself in various forms. He was born with the afterbirth ‘the veil’ draped over his head and shoulders, and is seen in Middle Eastern tradition as a sign of a gifted child with ‘psychic abilities’.

  • Chapter Seven a Solution to the Mystery of Uri Geller
    Chapter Seven A Solution To The Mystery Of Uri Geller One of the most controversial books currently in print is URI: A JOURNAL OF THE MYSTERY OF URI GELLER, by Andrija Puharich. Puharich’s background is impressive. After graduating from Northwestern University Medical School in 1947, Puharich completed his residency in internal medicine at Permanente Hospital in California. In 1948, he established the Round Table Foundation in Maine. There he conceived and developed a series of experiments to enhance ESP in sensitives by means of electronic systems. His subjects included Eileen Garrett, Dr. D. G. Vinod, Peter Hurkos, and Harry Stone. In 1958, he moved his laboratory to Carmel, California, where he continued his research and served as consultant to industrial corporations, foundations, and universities. In 1960, he moved to New York and founded Intelectron Corporation, with J. L. Lawrence, to develop electronic systems for aiding hearing in nerve deafness. After 10 years of research in this area, he held 56 patents for his inventions. During this period, Puharich led several medical research expeditions to Brazil to study the healer Arigo. It was while he was in Brazil that he first became aware of UFOs, for he saw and photographed a number of them there. In 1971, he went to Israel to investigate seriously the phenomena of Uri Geller. He was able to confirm claims that these phenomena were caused by Geller’s psychic abilities, and reported that Geller could actually break metal by mind alone, communicate telepathically, and perform many other seemingly impossible feats. Shortly after confirming Geller’s abilities, Puharich subjected Geller to age- regression hypnosis, and touched off a long series of incredible events.

The palm of his left hand formed a perfect hexagram or six pointed star (the Star of David or the Jewish Star) in the creases. This too, has been seen as a sign of psychic gifts – a trait shared by the Dutch psychic Peter Hurkos. Many of Alex’s childhood psychic demonstrations are outlined in his autobiography Beyond Coincidence.2 The first demonstration of psychic abilities in young Alex came when he was eighteen months.
