Anomalous information reception by research mediums under blinded conditions II: Replication and extension
Julie Beischel, Mark Boccuzzi, et al. · 2015 · Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing, 11(2), 136-142
Summary
Follow-up blinded mediumship study using phone readings and blinded raters, reporting above-chance target reading performance under controls intended to reduce conventional information leakage.
Why it matters here
Useful as a claimed replication/extension of the 2007 Windbridge-style protocol; still controversial, but much stronger than anecdotal stage mediumship.
Linked claims
Stage mentalists reproduce 'mediumship' on demand. Cold and hot reading are well-documented techniques.
Most claimed mediumship is reproducible by cold reading. Some controlled lab studies (Beischel and others) report small but anomalous effects.
Related evidence hubs
Evidence around dying, near-death experience, and what (if anything) continues.
Cryptomnesia, anoxia models, cold reading. Counter-anchors.
Reports of contact with the deceased.
Whether anything of mind continues.
Telepathy, precognition, remote viewing, PK.
