For you skeptic readers, one of the experiments was conducted as follows: Two groups of people separated by hundreds of miles were able to send messages through this medium. Message text was double blind and flawlessly delivered. Cell phones and even pagers had not been invented. There was no communication between these groups except the Ouija Boards. Validation occured when the paper with the transcribed message was returned to the parent group.

If you can duplicate this, then the James Randi Foundation will give you $1 million. Unless you're full of crap, that is.

James Randi is an interesting guy. He has devoted his life to exposing fraudsters who pose as having “supernatural powers.”

That was over thirty years ago, and took nearly three years to develop. I have no further interest in that stuff, and money doesn't convince me to reexpose myself to dangers of which I am ignorant. It is pretty easy to perform that with a sufficient number of people who will spend that much time messing with it. Perhaps you should go for the prize.

I can't imagine why I would bring this story to you just for the sake of a story. I generally don't give a crap what people think. I don't run with a croud, and have no need to impress anyone. I do think there is is a high probability of danger associated with this particular unknown, and warning people about it seems like the right thing to do. I am sufficiently satisfied with the evidence to feel justifyed in posting it with the warnings.
