The experiment with Philip worked so well that the Toronto organization decided to conduct another with a completely different group of people and a new fictional character. Within five weeks, they had established "contact" with their new "spirit," Lilitz, a spy from French-speaking Canada. Other similar experiments conjured up characters like Sebastian, a medieval alchemist, and Axel, a man from the future. While all were fictional, they all developed a unique way of transmitting messages by tapping. Recently, in Sydney, Australia, a group conducted a similar test in the "Skippy Experiment." Six participants created the story of a fourteen-year-old Australian girl, Skippy Cartman. As is well known, Skippy communicated with the group through tapping and scratching sounds. Conclusions How can we conduct such experiments? While someone claims to have proven that ghosts don't exist, that such things only arise in our minds, others claim that sometimes our...

It was clear that Philip, created by human imagination, had limitations. Although he could accurately answer questions about the events and people of his time, it seems that this information could not have been unknown to the group. In other words, Philip's answers came from the human subconscious—from the minds of the members. Some of them claimed to hear whispers in response to questions, but no voices were ever captured on tape. However, Philip's psychokinetic abilities were extraordinary and completely unexplained. If the group asked for the lights to be dimmed, he would immediately turn them off. If asked to turn the lights back on, he would. The table at which the group was sitting was almost always the focal point of the strange phenomena. When members felt a cool breeze flowing across the table, they asked Philip if he could start and stop it calmly. He could, and did. The group noticed that touching the table always felt different in Philip's presence, having an el...

In September 1972, the group began "sessions"—informal gatherings during which members discussed Philip and his life, meditated on him, and attempted to visualize their "collective hallucination" in greater detail. These sessions, conducted under full illumination, yielded no results for the next year. While some members claimed to sense a presence in the room, all attempts at communication were unsuccessful. So they changed tactics. The group decided they'd have better luck if they tried to recreate the atmosphere of a classic séance. They dimmed the room's lighting, sat around a table, sang songs, and surrounded themselves with paintings of castles, imagining Philip living there, as well as objects from that era. It worked. One evening during a session, the group received their first sign from Philip in the form of a distinct knock on the table. Soon, Philip was answering questions posed by the group members—one knock for "yes," two for "no....

TSPR, under the direction of Dr. A. R. G. Owen, assembled a group of eight people from among its members, none of whom claimed any paranormal abilities. Known as "Owen's Group," the group consisted of the doctor's wife, a woman who was a former president of MENSA (an organization for people with high IQs), an industrial designer, a bookkeeper, a homemaker, an accountant, and a sociology student. Psychologist Dr. Joel Whitton also attended the séances as an observer. The group's first task was to create a fictional historical figure. Together, they wrote a short biography of a person they named Philip Aylesford. Below are excerpts from that biography: Philip was an English aristocrat who lived in the mid-17th century, during the time of Oliver Cromwell. He was a supporter of the king and a Catholic. He was married to a beautiful but frigid wife, Dorothy, the daughter of another aristocrat. One day, while exploring the boundaries of his estates, Philip stumbled upon...

In the 1970s, a group of researchers from the Toronto Society for Psychical Research conducted an experiment to create a fictional ghost named Philip. As a result, participants began experiencing psychokinetic phenomena, such as table rapping and levitation, which seemed to confirm the existence of paranormal manifestations. This experiment, documented on film, raised controversy and questions about the nature of ghosts and the role of the human subconscious in creating such phenomena. What conclusions can be drawn from this extraordinary research? In the 1970s, a group of parapsychology researchers "discovered" a spirit named Philip. To their surprise, Philip actually communicated with them through a host of incredible psychokinetic phenomena. A group of teenagers sitting around a Ouija board received mysterious messages from the spirit of a person who claimed to have died 40 years ago. A paranormal society conducts séances during which members interact with the spirit, who ...

A session using a OUIJA board is an extraordinary experience that requires proper preparation and atmosphere. The ritual requires two to five people who, in a quiet environment, preferably at night, work together to summon the spirits. A key element is a board with the alphabet, numbers, and words that enable communication with the afterlife. The session involves gently touching the pointer and asking questions of the spirits. After the session, it's crucial to thank the spirit and dismiss it, thus concluding the entire process. Preparation: For a session, we need 2 to 5 people. We set up the equipment (a board and a moving pointer). The board consists of an alphabet of lowercase and uppercase letters, as well as numbers and other words such as: HEAVEN, HELL, BASE, OTHER PLACES, PURGATORY, YES, NO, I DON'T KNOW, and the most important, THE END. Generally, the time of day doesn't matter, but the key is peace and quiet (that's why NIGHT is the best time – beca...

In Ruddington, a small village in Derbyshire, England, paranormal phenomena are attracting increasing attention. Ghost history enthusiast Faye Stenson is researching local tales of unexplained phenomena, including a mysterious ghost train that supposedly passed through disused tracks. In her research, Stenson uncovered not only ghost stories associated with ancient buildings but also accounts of people experiencing mysterious sounds and visions of trains in places where they once ran. These places, steeped in history, hold many stories that could shed new light on local legends Faye Stenson from Ruddington certainly doesn't hide the fact that she has a skeleton in her closet - in fact, she's fascinated by ghosts. “I got my interest in the subject from my maternal grandfather, Clarence Daniel, who died in 1987, and who published several books, such as Ghosts of Derbyshire, and was a well-known historian of Derbyshire and the surrounding area,” says Stenson. Faye is busily seekin...
