Do you believe in psychic phenomena? Uri Geller, the famous Israeli supernatural superstar wants you too. Skeptics like James ‘the Amazing’ Randi prefer more down to Earth explanations.
Several years ago Randi became so confident that no one could prove psychic phenomenon that he said he would pay one million dollars to anyone proving him wrong. So far the money goes unclaimed.
Many people think that the reason Randi’s prize has gone unclaimed is the strict rules that he set for claiming it. This is no doubt due to the ‘amazing’ amount of money that is on the line if someone proves Randi wrong. No one has even passed the ‘preliminary tests’ involved. One researcher of the paranormal wants to make the contest a little easier for a little less money.
Vince Wilson has always been interested in science, history, and the unexplained since as far back as he can remember. In 1999 he founded the Baltimore Society for Paranormal Research. He soon set his sites higher and formed the Paranormal Investigators Coalition in 2001 -- a collection of groups dedicated to serious paranormal research and scientific observation. Wilson is the author of Ghost Tech and Ghost Science. He has lectured on ghost hunting technology and has also appeared on all the major local TV stations in the Baltimore area and on numerous radio stations in regards to his work in paranormal research. He has also been featured on Creepy Canada in 2005 aboard the USS Constellation and the Discovery Channel in 2006 for an investigation he did at the Edgar Allan Poe House in Baltimore. In 2006 Wired Magazine said he was perhaps the foremost exert on ghost hunting technology in the country. He even lives in a possibly haunted location in Southeast Baltimore (he refuses to investigate his own home).
“I think many people, who may have psychic ability, do not even try for the ‘Million Dollar Challenge’ due to the daunting prize and the fact that you have to submit yourself to tests in a controlled environment”, says Wilson, “That’s very scary to many people.”
Wilson claims that he is willing put his money where his mouth is. Adds the ghost hunter and psychic researcher, “This is the simplest and easiest test I could come up with. I had placed psychic tests on the site before, but nothing that was verifiable.”
The tests Wilson refers to are based on random number generators and the so-called ‘psychic cards’ or ‘zener’ cards developed by psychical researchers in the early parts of the twentieth century. The site he refers to is an ambitious project by any standards. Ghost Science (http://www.ghostscience.net/) claims to be the ultimate resource for ghost hunters. You can buy the latest equipment and literature there and read articles on the latest theories in psychical and paranormal research. You can also request to have an investigation done of your residence if you believe it to be haunted. Expenses are paid for by ghost tours - - also available on the site.
The experiment Wilson proposes is very simple. In his home, on a bookshelf in the living room, is a locked box. Guess the items inside the box and win $400 in prizes -- $200 in cash and a tri-field EMF meter worth over $200. The meter is used by ghost hunters to check for environmental changes made by ghosts.
“So far, “says Wilson, “no one has predicted the contents of the box, but there is always a chance!”
