I attended a talk given by Dr Joe Gallenberger last month on psychokinesis and winning in Las Vegas where he had briefly described spoon bending that seems to defy the laws of physics. When I was growing up, a self-proclaimed psychic known as Uri Geller would go on talk shows bending spoons at the neck between the bowl and the handle. Two rather famous people, Dean Radin and Michael Crichton, claimed success at gatherings known as “PK parties”. Mr Radin had folded the bowl of the spoon over without effort in front of several witnesses. He later attempted to bend the bowl of a similar spoon with conscious force but was unsuccessful without the aid of pliers. I asked Dr Gallenberger if there was a study done on spoons bent by mechanical force versus those bent by supposed psychic means. Apparently, there was a physicist, Dr Wilbur Franklin, who had placed spoons bent by Uri Geller and those bent by the usual method in an electron microscope and the findings are described in a book called “The Spoon Benders”. I could not find the book Dr Gallenberger recommended but did come across this award-winning work of fiction.

Here is a short story submitted to the Rhine Short Story contest 2017. It’s based on a true story. Enjoy 🙂

Here’s a short story my husband, Brian and I submitted to the Rhine Short Story Contest 2018. It is meant to be for a Halloween party so it’s creepier than I would normally write. If you want a good Psy related scare, then tarry on dear reader… Continue reading “The Evil Oneironaut”
Remote Viewing versus Out-of-Body Experience
“Is it live or is it Memorex” said the twentieth-century advertisement for that brand of audio tape. According to Memorex, Ella Fitzgerald could shatter a glass even if her voice was a taped recording. Yes tape, not digital. This is a metaphor to describe the difference between Out-of Body-Experience (OBE), and Remote Viewing.

An Uncommon Experience
For the last three years, a very generous person who strongly believes in psychic ability and the paranormal opens his beautiful and ethereal Uncommon Garden to the Rhine for a fundraiser. This amazing place is nestled in a community in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This year, we were serenaded with music that sounded like the soundtrack to “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. I could almost see the misted mountains of China as I listened to them.
