Confounding as it does commonsense notions of time and causality, it is perhaps the most metaphysically offensive of rogue phenomena. In the past 130 years, a number of thoughtful investigators—none of them either naïve or foolish—have studied a growing collection incidents, all carefully vetted (excepting Rhine’s popularly solicited cases [below]). With the exception of the first author, Eleanor Sidgwick, who drew on a scant six years of evidence and found it tantalizing but insufficient, these investigators have repeatedly come to the generally reluctant conclusion that true precognition (or something identical to it with a different name) exists.

Psychology students rated their beliefs in a variety of paranormal topics. Students were randomly assigned to receive either a true fortune (i.e., using "real" fortune tellers' procedures) or a false one (produced by interchanging the meanings traditionally associated with the suits).

  • The Problem of Seth's Origin: a Case Study of the Trance-Possession Mediumship of Jane Roberts Paul Cunningham Rivier College
    Running head: THE PROBLEM OF SETH'S ORIGIN The Problem of Seth's Origin: A Case Study of the Trance-Possession Mediumship of Jane Roberts Paul Cunningham Rivier College Author Note Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Paul Cunningham, Department of Psychology, Rivier College, Nashua, NH 03055. E-mail: [email protected] Running head: THE PROBLEM OF SETH'S ORIGIN 2 Abstract Jane Roberts channeled the purported discarnate entity called "Seth" from 1963 through 1984. The purposes of this paper are to (a) discuss the question of whether the content of a mediumistic communication can aid in determining the source of that communication, (b) address a gap in the literature by presenting an outer history of the trance-possession mediumship of Jane Roberts, and (c) examine eight explanations for Seth's origin in light of the published evidence of the case, including fraud, cryptomnesia, hypnotic self-suggestion, incipient schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder, high creativity, psi functioning, basic source Aspect, and energy personality essence. Either Seth is or is not a production of Jane Roberts' psyche. In either case, we are led to the possibility that human personality may have a greater reality and greater awareness than is generally supposed. Keywords: case study, mediums, mediumship, possession, trance, survival of consciousness, discarnate communication, content analysis. Running head: THE PROBLEM OF SETH'S ORIGIN 3 The Problem of Seth's Origin: A Case Study of the Trance-Possession Mediumship of Jane Roberts On December 8, 1963 an entity that called himself Seth emerged under the auspices of a ouija board to take possession of the body of a woman named Jane Roberts of Elmira, New York with the expressed purpose of dictating information about the nature of reality beyond the five senses in a trance-possession mediumship that lasted for 21 years.

  • Real Cursed Objects Around the World…
    2017 Real Cursed Objects Around the world… Δημιουργική εργασία σχολικού έτους 2016-17 στο μάθημα της Αγγλικής Γλώσσας Υπεύθυνη καθηγήτρια: Μ. Χριστοπούλου, M.Ed., ΠΕ06 Πειραματικό ΓΕ.Λ. Πατρών The subject of our project is «cursed objects around the world». We came up with this idea because, as teenagers, we have extended curiosity and in general, the paranormal excites us. Also from this research, we wanted to know how much the superstitions affect our community. We worked as a team of three members and did what you are about to read. All of our work was done electronically at our houses. We searched for information on each object separately and the result is the following… Αντρέας Ρεμπούτσικας Γιώργος Σωτηρόπουλος Διονύσης Σωτηρόπουλος (A2 Τάξη) Annabelle , The Cursed Doll Annabelle, the doll, was originally discovered in an antique shop in 1970. After being purchased as a gift from a mother to her daughter Donna, strange things started happening. Upon receiving it and bringing it home, she noticed that over time the doll would appear in other rooms that she had not put it in. On one account, she found it standing on its legs, unsupported. It addition, little notes started appearing around her apartment randomly with writings on it that read ‘Help Us’ and fresh droplets of blood would appear on the doll’s dress. As the unexplained phenomena increased, the girl called in some paranormal investigators who found the doll to be possessed by the spirit of a 7-year-old girl named Annabelle Higgins, who had moved into the doll after she was murdered.

  • Precognition As a Form of Prospection: a Review of the Evidence
    Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research, and Practice © 2018 American Psychological Association 2018, Vol. 5, No. 1, 78–93 2326-5523/18/$12.00 http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/cns0000121 TARGET ARTICLE Precognition as a Form of Prospection: A Review of the Evidence Julia A. Mossbridge Dean Radin Northwestern University and Institute of Noetic Institute of Noetic Sciences, Petaluma, California Sciences, Petaluma, California Prospection, the act of attempting to foresee one’s future, is generally assumed to be based on conscious and nonconscious inferences from past experiences and anticipation of future possibilities. Most scientists consider the idea that prospection may also involve influences from the future to be flatly impossible due to violation of common sense or constraints based on one or more physical laws. We present several classes of empirical evidence challenging this common assumption. If this line of evidence can be successfully and independently replicated using preregistered designs and analyses, then the consequences for the interpretation of experimental results from any empirical domain would be profound. Keywords: prospection, precognition, presentiment, anticipatory activity, retrocausality In this review, we discuss a set of controlled • Events in the physical world are mirrored experiments investigating what we will argue is an by our almost immediate perceptual recre- inherent human ability that allows for accurate ation of those events in essentially the same prediction of future events without inferential order that they occurred. means; in the vernacular this ability is known as • The recreation of physical events, first in precognition.

  • Voices 1 the Ghost Hunters No One Saw the Girl Die. It Was Just a Little Too Early, a Morning Still Too Dark, First Light Barel
    Voices 1 The Ghost Hunters No one saw the girl die. It was just a little too early, a morning still too dark, first light barely warming the edge of the sky. The night frost yet shimmered on the ground, faint ghostly silver. It was barely 6 a.m. on a late October morning. Sixteen-year-old Bertha Huse was out for a walk before her day’s work at the mill. Her parents and her sister were still asleep in the small house they shared in Enfield, New Hampshire. Later, a few of the town people, those like the blacksmith’s wife who were up doing morning chores, recalled seeing the girl go by. Bertha was walking a little slowly, tying her bonnet as she went. She left footprints in the frosty dirt road. The marks led toward an old wooden bridge, made of rough timbers and without railings, which spanned Mascoma Lake. The lake looked untouched. It always did. The water beneath the bridge was 18 feet deep. Darkened by the thick local soil, it shone like a black mirror, reflecting all light away. When their child didn’t come home, her parents were at first puzzled. Then a little worried. And slowly, as the sky lightened and the morning filled, they became frantic.
