Psychic Experiences: E.S.P. Investigated

by Sheila Ostrander

If 100 years ago you had said that there were invisible waves in the air which could carry words and pictures - and all you needed was an instrument to tune in to them - you would have been thought eccentric to say the least. But in this up-to-date book, you'll find dozens of authentic reports of extra-sensory perception which are more amazing than radio and television ever were. Did you know that think-tank scientists are trailing people via ESP? That Arab oil sheiks are employing U.S. psychics to help them succeed in business? That garden plants are working as "lie detectors" in Russian labs? These are just a few of the ways that ESP is being applied in mainstream fields today by governments, in business and crime detection, even in archeology. Telepathy and other psychic phenomena are no longer off-beat underground subjects. Scientists are studying them, measuring them, experimenting with them in laboratories all over the world. This book offers a mind-boggling panorama of the astounding developments taking place now in ESP, like the psychic who bent the unbendable in a U.S. defense lab, and the living plant that witnessed a murder - and testified against the "killer."
