Scientists put ghosts
under the microscope
BY NICK NlJJTALL

REPORTS of ghostly apparitions cannot be dismissed as
the rantings of the insane or
the work of hoaxers, a senior
clinical

psychiatrist

said

yesterday.

Professor Ian Stevenson. of

the University of Virginia in
Charlottesville. who has been
studying reports of ghosts in
Britain and the United States,
said the people to whom the
dead appeared had normal,
healthy minds.
He said there appeared to
be an explanation for the
sightings which defied traditional science.
"Evidence for these kinds of
experiences are too frequent to
be dismissed." said Professor
Stevenson. who cited studies
claiming that
per cent of
the population had seen
apparitions.
The scientist, who has been
studying cases dating back
forty years in which someone
who has died or is about to die
appears to a close friend, said
that these reports could be
checked by scru.tinising death

certificates.
They could also be checked
by carefully controlled interviews with the person and
family involved.
"Studies of the mentally ill
show they are not gifted in the
same way. They may hear
voices and see people but this
is usually related to their
mental illness.. . their claims
cannot be substantiated," said
Professor Stevenson. The psy-

vanes from animal to animal and season to season. We partially buffered these variations by immunizing the animals (5).

When HD were submit1ed to a magnetic field, their effects were inhibited (6and expo background below), suggesting that the molecular signal

Exchange of information on homeopathic research
We are interested in making contact with researchers and organisations who work
with homeopathy, and hope that all you who read this letter will send us a brief
sumaryof what you are doing. We will reply to every respons we

get.

In Norway we have a four year research program on alternativ medisin with 1,5 mil
NOK pr year and there are also some other funds for research on homeopathy.
Currently there are two homeopathic clinical trials that soon will be published
(autum-94) They are on the effect of homeopathic treatment of migrena and tooth
extraction.

We are now working on two major areas
1. Quality control on homeopathic research projects. This include a long term plan
to get homeopaths to become good researchers.
2. Developing a Norwegian database on homeopathic research.
To get Information about homeopathic research abroad, we are searching Journals
and databases. We also try to participate in international confrenses as much as our
founds allow us. Our goal is to get contacts in research circels in every country in
order to get information as early as possible
With hope for your reply,

Presentation
Aslak Steinsbekk, born 1966, works and Jives in Trondheim in the m ddel of
Norway. He has a 5 years parttime study in homeopathy and ordinary medicin at
the Norwgian Academy of Natural Medicin [Norsk Akadem for Naturmedisin (NAN).
Heggeli v. 54, N-0375 Oslo, Norway. Tlf +47-224951 50], and two year economic
study. He works in a full time general homeopathic practise with four other

homeopaths
He is a member of the research bard of the Norwegian Homeopathic Society (NHL).
His main responsability is the development of an Norwegian database for research
on homeopathy, and research politics.
He is also editor of "Hom opatisk Tidsskrift", a quartely journal for public, published
by the Norwegian Homeopathic Patientunion [Norsk Homoopatisk Pasientforening,
Postboks 412, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway, tlflfax +47-73 52 23 07].

Nowegian database on homeopathic research
is set up to,
give Norwegian researchers information on good quality research on homeopathy
in Norway and abroad.
- discover fields where research is needed
serve as a tool to evaluate Norwegian homeopathic research projects
- contribute information on homeopathic research to others who work for the public
awaerness of homeopaty.
The database will consist of translated abstracts of homeopathic research projects,
mainly on clinical trials and models to explain how homeopathy works. The
inclusion criteria will be clearly defined in order to secure a good standard.

Gravity and inertia are among the
most fundamental amibutes of anyrhmg possessing mass. Bur researchers
have never attained a satisfactory understanding of the fundamental nature
of gravity. Inertia has proved an even
more elusive problem. Ever since Isaac
Newton articulated his three laws of
motion. sdentists have simply accepted the e:’dstence of inertia as a given:
bodies in monOD remain in motion.

acted on by an outsjde force.

The two scientists soon teamed up
with Puthoff, who had been exploring
possible COIUlections between gravity

The fossils in quesnon were discovered in Java. one in 1936, the others in

that the age of the ~lojokerto skull was
about one million years old. The Sangiran series-which includes the face and

The primary goal of the international Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE)is to provide a professional
forum for presentations, criticism, and debate concerning topics which are for various reasons ignored or
studied inadequately within mainstream science. A secondary goal is to promote improved understanding of those factors that unnecessarily limit the scope of scientific inquiry, such as sociological constraints, restrictive world views. hidden theoretical assumptions, and the temptation to convert prevailing
theory into prevailing dogma.

Topics under investigation cover a wide spectrum. At one end are apparent anomalies in well established disciplines. At the other, we lind paradoxical phenomena that belong to no established discipline
and therefore may offer the greatest potential for scientific advance and the expansion of human knowledge.

The Society encourages such investigations for several reasons that may appeal to different communities.

To the research scientist, we commend the intellectual challenge of explaining away an apparent anomaly or seizing the new knew ledge presented by a real one,
To the student scientist, we point out that science does not begin with textbooks: it begins with
the unknown and ends with textbooks.
To the nonscientist, we acknowledge that deep public interest in some of these tOpiCS calls for
unprejudiced evaluation based on objective research.
To the policy-maker, we pOint out that today’s anomaly may become tomorrow’s technology.

International Meetings
Annual Society Meetings are held every summer. The first SSE meeting took place at the University of
Maryland in 1982, Subsequent meetings have been held at the University of Virginia, Princeton
University, Cornell University, Stanford University and elsewhere. Meetings are generally 3 days long
and consist of invited lectures, contributed talks and poster sessions selected by a program committee.
The first Euro-SSE meeting was held at the Technical University of Munich in 1992 and subsequent
meetings will be held every other year. Other regional meetings will be considered in the future.

Journal of Scientific Exploration
The international Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE)was established in 1987 to provide a professional forum for the presentation, scrutiny and discussion of scientific research on topics outside the established disciplines of science. JSE provides an unbiased forum for scholarly debate of unconventional
and possibly controversial topics. The Journal is published quarterly and includes peer-reviewed
research and review articles, essays, book reviews, letters to the editor, columns, meeting abstracts and
Society news items.

The Explorer
Associates and Members of SSE also receive the Society newsletter. The Explorer, that presents short
Items, Society news, meeting announcements, etc.

Affiliating with the Society
Any person who supports the goals of the society may become an ASSOCIATE by filling out the form
below and paying the annual dues (which include subscription to the Journal of Scientific Exploration and
The Explorer). A scientist or other scholar with appropriate credentials may apply to become a MEMBER
(see other side for details),

WHEN

IT’S BECOME TRUE

by Jacques Benveniste, MD
Director of Research, INSERM, France.

I am often asked the question; what will be the consequences of your work if your results are
shown to be true? My response is at first epistemological and then technological.
The history of science teaches us that a discovery does not "exist" until it has survived two
tests: J) Facts, which are most often though not always, especially at the beginning reproducible, must be displayed, If possible within the context of existing theories. When the
latter is not the case, the situation is very difficult as it is necessary to change theories, an

-

exercise repugnant to scientists. Consider Galileo, Pasteur, Newton, Einstein, Bohr, Planck __.;
2) The Scientific "Community" must accept these results. This is becoming more and more
difficult, with science being true to the destiny of all human enterprises in its becoming
increasingly structured and rigid. Contrary to what the public is lead to think, technological
progress is accelerating while scientific progress slows down. For example, even though we
have acquired detailed knowledge and control over some cellular processes, we are still very
far from a satisfactory understanding of cellular functioning.

In our research, we are at stage one. After perhaps one or one-and-a-half thousand
experiments, we think we have discovered the nature of molecular communication: it is via
electromagnetic (EM)fields (comparable to radio transmitter/receiver waves) which are
relayed by water molecules. Or, rather, we are at stage one-and-a-half : we are no longer
alone. A unLversity research group from Montpellier has just reported a high dilution effect
in an international journal; another group, from a pharmaceutical company, has published
results Identical to those we obtamed five years ago (Quotidlen du medecin, 16 Dec 93 and
14 Feb 94); Erwin Heintz published, in 1962, similar results in the Comples-Rendus de
1’A cad mie des Sciences; two other university research groups, in Paris and in Bordeaux, are
preparing reports on analogous facts observed in other systems; the director of an INSERM
research unit, who is so afraid that he swore me to secrecy, has kept comparable results under
lock and key since 1988; five European groups, including three from universities, presented
similar results at congresses of the A merican A ssocialion for the A d’ancement of SCience

parasites, and with absolute specificity and without chemical pollution.... 1t can be predicted
that a substantial pan of the traffic on future’s "information freeways" will be biological

At such a level of utopia (which, we are told, is denied to scientists but the right to which I
demand when it is informed by facts) there are a good many reasons for confining the
dreamer responsible to a mental asylum, a fate which has already been suggested as apt for
In my defense, I would say only this: he (or she, let’s not be sexist) who invented the
wheel invented the Formula I. And, closer to ourselves, Graham Bell, in carrying the human
voice from one room to another, knew very well that one day it would be from continent to
continent and this despite the sarcastic remarks of his contemporaries for whom the telephone
was a mere toy Similar incomprehension and sarcasm notwithstanding, we transmit, on a
daily basiS, the specific activity of simple and complex molecules using coils of electrical
wire and a simple amplifier. We send this information either to water, which stocks it before
retransmittmg it, or directly to cells whose metabolism is thereby profoundly changed. This
is expenmentally and scientifically true. When it becomes institutionnaJly true the rest will
follow. For we cannot escape this trUIsm: If the activity of a molecule can be transported in
this way, it is because it is EM in nature and thus susceptible, through the application of
existing technology, to the treatment I have described

myself.

In order that these utOpias cease to be no more than just that, audacity, fairness and a genuine
desire for progress are and always will be necessary in science, that is in scientists. This is
hardly the case In our society increasingly resigned and threatened by hand-out norms, which
pursues Its collapse into lazy consensus and covert conformism, and pays lip service to
democracy while flIrting with ItS opposIte. For my part, and that of my colleagues at INSERM
U 200 (now closed for heresy), somewhat puzzled by the years of indifference and of vicious
and senseless attacks on our professIOnal competence and even integrity, but still obliged to
carry on by our results, that have up to now never been seriously challenged by any solid
hypothesIs. It IS these fundamental values (and also funds) that we find most lacking..

Jacques Benveniste

INSERM W2000, Paris, France.

An electromagnetic (EM)
field abolished the activity of highly dilute ligands (FASEB J. 1991,
5:A 1583), suggesting that they depend on EM fields. EM fields being in principle
electronically transferable, we built an amplifier (gain: 100 V/6 V and 100 nN150 mA)fitted
In blind and open experiments. vials of ovalbumin
with one input and one output EM
were placed on the input
Water vials (Ova,LPS,

from Ova-immunized guinea-pigs. Coronary flow variations (CFV)were (%,mean + SEM,
n=20-36): Ova, 26.6 + 2.7; LPS,26.1 + 2.8; W,6.2 + 0.7 (Wvs Ova, LPS : p=e.8). In hearts

COLD FUSION: IS THERE A TUNNEL AT THE END OF THE LIGHT?

R.T. Bush
Physics Department, California State Polytechnic

University, U.S.A.

In a presentation at the Austin Conference of the Society for Scientific Exploration the author
emphasized that, contrary to the notions of the general scientific community, a vast amount of
evidence can now be marshaled in suppon a heavy water excess heat effect of a nuclear nature
as first hypothesized by Fleischmann and Pons in March of 1989. And, the light water excess
heat effect
Mills) is gradually being deciphered at Cal Poly (colleague: Eagleton) and
elsewhere. A major contribution to this understanding my be a recent model by the author
explicating impurity promotion of both excess heat effects.

R.

(R.

A substantial handicap with regard to the acceptance of cold fusion by the Physics community
has been the lack of a model to understand how significant tunneling can occur through the
Coulomb barrier. The author has discovered a fine structure ("hill-and-valley transmission
resonances) superimposed upon the otherwise linear nature of the excess power-versuscurrent density curves in the case of both heavy water and light water electrolytic cell
experiments.
While the author has a model elucidating this fine structure, and predicting it prior to its
discovery, the curves are considered anomalous even by some of the supporters of cold
fusion. These curves seem to be connectable with two different models that may unravel the
tunneling riddle. One of these models employs an idea of R. Bass to connect the author’s
TRM ("Transmission Resonance Model") with Schwinger’s NEAL Model "Nuclear Energy in
an Atomic Lattice"). The second of these, the author’s ECFM ("Electron Catalyzed Fusion
Model") employs a hypothetical redisnibution of the energy of the zero point field, and is
based upon a key idea of Puthoff regarding the ground state of hydrogen.

COMPARISON OF THE SENDERlNO SENDER CONDITIONS

USING AN AUTOMATED GANZFELD SYSTEM
Kathy S. Dalton, Robert L. Morris, Deborah

L.

Delanoy and Caroline Watt,

Department of Psychology, University of Edinburgh,

V.K.

One of the most successful techniques for eliciting evidence of ESP under well controlled
laboratory conditions involves a mild fonn of sensory isolation known as a Ganzfeld. Recent
telepathy research using an automated ganzfeld testing procedure devised by Honorton,
Berger and colleagues. has produced results of sufficient consistency to warrant its use in
process-oriented research. A sender in one room is shown a shon video clip while a receiver
in a non-adjoining acoustically shielded room attempts to gain impressions about the clip. The
receiver is then shown four clips, one a duplicate of the target clip, and asked to choose on a
blind basis which is likely to be the target.

In the present study (almost completed), 32 participants contribute one session in one of three
conditions: sender absent, with receiver blind as to sender’s presence or absence; sender
present,with receiver blind as to sender’s presence or absence; and sender present, with
receiver and experimenter aware of sender’s presence (96participants in all). Participants
were selected primarily from an artistic population based on experimental research suggesting
that an artistic population may perform better than chance expectation in the ganzfeld.
Analysis will include direct hits measures as well as sum of ranks for the overall study and for
comparison among the three sending conditions.
Personality variables from the NEO-PIR will also presented, as well as results of individual
differences as measured by a participant personal information form and a self-repon creativity

scale.

"EARTH LIGHTS": HISTORY AND LATEST DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING
RESEARCH INTO ANOMALOUS LIGHT PHENOMENA
Paul Devereux

I.C.R.L., Penzance,Cornwall,

U.K.

Devereux briefly looks at the ethnography of anomalous light phenomena amongst traditional
peoples, and the history of their perception in Western societies up to the present day. He then
overviews the "Tectonic Stress" hypothesis, presenting supporting evidence, which includes
recently discovered mining traditions and other personal research. He then describes some
recurring characteristics widely noted regarded anomalous light phenomena, and uses these to
suggest new ideas about the nature of the lights.
But he recommends that we should not theorise too much at this stage, and suggests that our
first concern should be to find a place in nature where the phenomena can be reliably
observed. Only this will give us the data on which to base sound theorising. He concludes
with brief accounts of recent exploratory field trips to light phenomena "zones" under the
aegis of International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL)and the Fetzer Institute,
and indicates how light phenomena research is likely to move forward.

REMOTE STARING DETECTION AND PERSONALITY CORRELATES
Susan J. Howat, Deborah

L.

Delanoy & Robert

L.

Morris

Department of Psychology, University of Edinburgh,

U.K.

The electrodennal activity (EDA)of 28 participants responding to remote staring and nonstaring conditions was examined in this study. The EDA of each participant was obtained for
64 periods, each of 30 seconds duration. with 16 staring and 16 non-staring periods pseudorandomly interspersed with 32 rest periods. Also, staring detection was examined in
conjunction with various individual differences including perceptual defensiveness, and the
personality traits measured by the NEO-PI-R. A non-significant EDA difference was found
between staring and non-staring periods with a tendency for EDA to increase during staring
periods. Within participants measures indicated only a weak consistency in starees reactions
(activation or calming of EDA)during the session. Most of the individual differences analyses
yielded non-significantly relationships. The most notewonhy results include indications of a
possible trend for perceptually defensive individuals to detect remote staring to a lesser degree
than vigilant individuals, suggesting that defensive people can block out the perceived threat.
A possibly related finding was that openness correlated positively with magnitude of staring
detection (p<0.05).There was a non-significant tendency for extraversion. and the closeness
of relationship between starer and panicipant. to be positively related to magnitude of staring
detection.

Participants who had training in mental disciplines of an interpersonal nature exhibited a nonsignificant tendency to become more calm during staring periods, as did panicipants who had
similar personalities to the starer.
These results are related to previous remote staring findings and their implications discussed.

e
UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS OF SUBHARMFUL DOSES OF
TOXICANTS.
Roeland van Wijk

Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Utrecht University.
The Netherlands.

The benefits from subharmful doses of toxicants are most commonly reported in homeopathy.
The essence of homeopathy is formed by stimulating disturbed ’self. recovery through
applying the similia law. Self-recovery can be described on the level of organism (selfhealing), organ (regeneration),cell (proliferation),and on molecular level (synthesis of
protective proteins). Our recent experiments with isolated cells show that, according to the
similia principle the suboptimal self-recovery is stimulated with a smaller dose of the
substance responsible for disturbing the system in the fITSt place.

On patient level, of all medicines the remedy is chosen that is capable of producing that
artificial situation of illness resembling the patient’s clinical entity to be treated the most.
However, on higher system levels, all kinds of shifts in time occur, and a large number of
factors (including even psychosocial and emo onal factors) may playa role in self-recovery.
In previous studies we have tested whether in humans, remedies bring about an effect without
direct molecular interaction. The experimental model is based on the use of diphenyl to
disturb human muscular activity, and the application of sulphur to stimulate recovery. The
experiments show a significant deviation between sulphur and placebo, the effect being
dependent on type and number of dilutions, and the intermediate shaking procedure. The
solutions were even effective when tested in sealed glass phials. We suggest that molecular
interactions playa major role in self-recovery at the lowest levels of organisation, while the
’information component’ becomes additionally apparent in very complex system levels.

from physical and behavioral science. Such accusation had been
made by critics of research in this area stating that such
research will mean the end of technology, the end of scientific
outlook and a new apocalypse of reason.

term pathological science was derived by Irving
He criticised the whole area of work, quoting several
examples, eg n-rays, mutagenic radiation, the Allison effect, ESP
and Flying Saucers as being unworthy of research. One member of
the audience remarked that mutagenic radiation is now a
"respectable" subject and will be the topic of an upcoming
conference in Moscow. It is interesting to note however that
Langmuir was a member of the USAF UFO panel!
The

54. The symptoms of pathological science are reported to be as
follows:

a.

Barely detectable

b.

Involving a fantastic theory

c.

Criticisms are being met by ad hoc excuses.

55. Heresy only exists if there is orthodoxy. Galileo probably
made the mistake of supporting views if those other countries who
did not support the Catholics Church. Heresy is quite often a
challenge to political power. One example is cold fusion work
which certainly challenges the establishment to put considerable
effort into areas such as the TOKOMAK.

56. UFOs can also be very embarrassing to the establishment for
various reasons. other areas such as astrology are considered
a non-issue because they can easily be dismissed by the
Establishment.

57.

It was somewhat refreshing to note however that it was
stated that classified organisations such as the defence
community are in general much more open minded than organisations
such as academia. In general it is acceptable for new ideas to
be developed from inside scientific orthodox communities but not
outside. This would probably be the case with UFOs.

58.

There was also concern that the concept of heresy is now
being exploited for its own sake.

INVOLVEMENT OF THE BELGIAN AIR FORCE
I thought it would be worthwhile to describe briefly the social
context before going on to discuss the involvement of the Air
Force in the debate on UFOs.
When I was asked to attend the SOBEPS press conference on 18
December 1989, as Chief of Operations of the Air Staff, I was
sceptical about the existence of UFOs. Having said that, I was
determined to approach the problem without prejudice, as far as
possible, and to examine it in an objective manner. Two factors
became apparent to me during this press conference. Firstly, the
evidence was remarkable. It was not frivolous and was presented
in a natural and rather modest manner: no trace of sensationalism
or exaggerated media "hype". Secondly, the approach of SOBEPS was
sober, objective and based on scientific facts. Evidence which
could be linked to natural phenomena was rejected immediately.
Another important factor: certain journalists had the armed
forces as their target, in particular the Air Force. The
phenomena observed were alleged to have been experimental
aircraft, the existence of which was to be concealed from the

public.
Some saw a link with the F-117 and used the opportunity to
criticise American "imperialism". The alleged servility of the
Belgian authorities, who had, consciously or not, allowed such
experiments, was also denounced. Moreover, there were rumours to
the effect that observations of certain UFOs had been made by
military radars, about which no information could be disclosed.

Initially, the Air Force was obliged to deny the hypothesis of
experimental test flights. This was fairly simple, and the
context is amply described in the previous chapters. The Air
Force could put its cards on the table for the simple reason that
there was nothing to hide, and that it was impossible from a
technical point of view that an F-117 could have been involved.
In addition, the seriousness of the evidence and the
professionalism of SOBEPS were factors which prompted the Air
Force to decide on the need for a more in-depth study. This is
why it had decided before the holding of the press conference to
try to identify the nature and origin of certain observed
phenomena. The big question was, however, with what means?
THE MEANS
-. . . ~~Every flight in Belgian airspace carried out between the setting
and rising of the sun by any aircraft whatsoever must be the
,

subject of an official request and must receive clearance from
the civil and/or military authorities. These two bodies are
responsible for coordinating all air movements during the night
so that the identity of all aircraft in flight is known, together
with their intentions, the aim being, of course, to ensure the
safety of air navigation. In the case of the UFO observations,
it was therefore a case of checking whether any non-regulation
flight had been carried out. If this were indeed found to be the
case, it goes without saying that we would have to try to
identify these aircraft.
