Although research with cases of past-life memory offers little support for the idea of fixed ‘soul groups’, some cases suggest that relationships may persist across lives. Twins, friends, spouses and children claiming intermission memories have all been cited in reports where recognitions and remembered connections appear to outlast a single…
…uses a true random number generator to select targets that users are invited to attempt to predict. Mossbridge presented her first analysis of the data from this website, showing significant precognition performance, at the 2019 Society for Scientific Exploration meeting. Her critical review of Sam Knight’s “The Premonitions Bureau” highlights…
This child reincarnation case from India was investigated together by two researchers, one of whom thought it was best interpreted as reincarnation, while the second attributed it to parents coaching the boy to validate their reincarnationist belief system. The case report has become an important source in sceptical commentary about…
Arthur Chattock belongs to the early scientific generation that moved between established physics and psychical research. Best known professionally for work in electrotechnology and radio-wave experiments, he also joined the SPR, lectured on telepathy and took part in small but historically revealing experimental thought-transference tests. One target was reproduced exactly,…
John Kruth has been executive director of the Rhine Research Center since 2009. His research interests include bioenergy in healing, physical correlations with psi experiences, and the application of potentially useful psi technologies. Kruth takes the position that qualitative case material can sharpen experimental design, rather than being dismissed as…
The Heartmath Institute is a non-profit founded in 1991 by Doc Childre with the aim of gaining a greater understanding of the relationship between heart and mind. The institute, based in Boulder Creek, California, conducts research on intuition, human energetic interactions and physiological investigations of global coherence. The Heartmath Institute…
Systematic study of children who speak about previous lives has grown from scattered early reports into a substantial research programme. Investigators compare statements, behaviours, phobias and physical marks with deceased individuals, asking whether information, emotion and even bodily traces can carry over from one life to another. Since 1961, more…
Maurice Grosse (1919–2006) was a successful engineer and inventor who in later life became interested in psychical research. He was the principal investigator of the 1977 Enfield poltergeist case, bringing to the task practical ingenuity, persistence and strong convictions about the value of fieldwork in exploring spontaneous psi events. Grosse…
Helmut Schmidt (1928–2011) was a German-born US-based parapsychologist who pioneered the use of random event generators in psychokinesis research, often achieving highly significant scoring rates in his experiments. He also contributed to theory, arguing that psi is not some transcendent property of mind but rather involves a natural neural quantum…
