Scary-good story, not quite. The result of the self-proclaimed Sheering voted no. The search party found the mortal remains of Louis T's in a poorly accessible site, several hundred meters from the place where the woman had dependent.

There are many stories about Fernwahrnehmung - the alleged ability to distant places to "see" you - or other Para psychological phenomena such as thought transmission. Systematic attempts to Fernwahrnehmung were already in the 70-years. The U.S. military gave million for a program before it was discontinued because the work was hardly anything. The British psychologist Richard Wiseman, head of the Department of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, has now launched a new attempt to paranormal talents to test.

About 1000 participants had Wiseman on his experiment - 16 percent of them claimed to have clear vision capabilities, 38 percent believed in paranormal phenomena. For a first attempt looked Wiseman a secret location on his subjects and asked him via Twitter their impressions of the attack. 20 minutes later, the psychologist then sent a link to a page on which the participants attempt to view the actual site was. The participants informed the researcher that with how much the picture with their idea of average.

So easy the construction of the first test passes, so little surprising are the results: The allegedly beaten with her lucid descriptions as well as the often skeptical - in assessing how much of their imagination with the image later skillful matches, though they were above average, however, often a look at the area just to have presented. Wiseman then divided his subjects into groups, so that the results of those with supposedly better transcendental talent with which to compare other.

On the following days Wiseman then sent from one place five photographs: On a body was displayed on which he actually found the other four subjects, the recordings should be misled. On the first experiment Wiseman looked at a modern building - unfortunately, the group voted for a lucid picture of a forest. On the second day, the psychologist was sitting on a playground - but the group thought he would be at the foot of a long staircase. In the third passage chose allegedly clairvoyant image of a cemetery - was actually Wiseman under a sun roof. In the last attempt of scientists staring at a red letter box - and his not so supernatural trial participants thought he would be on the edge of a canal. In brief: All four attempts failed - and in all groups. Regardless of whether the subjects had indicated, to have paranormal abilities, they are not to possess, but to supernatural phenomena to believe, or a priori set were skeptical.
