Conjuring up Philip: 30 Years On
A
small group of researchers from PSI will be spending six months
replicating the �Philip Experiment�, contributing to a PhD thesis on the
subject.
The 1970s Philip experiment sought to �create� a Poltergeist purely
through the collective mental energies of a group.
PhD candidate Fiona Campbell said:
�The experiment has been recreated a few times, but not nearly enough to
provide evidence to the scientific community that there may be something
interesting going on; paranormal or otherwise.�
PSI�s �Philip� researcher, Nicky Sewell said:
�We will be recreating the experiment fortnightly over the course of six
months and hope Fiona�s submissions to scientific journals will help
shed some light on this fascinating area.
�We will, of course, keep PSI members fully updated as to how we get
on.�
Any groups wishing to participate in her study should contact Fiona on
