by Yesterday, I posted about J. B. Rhine and his feelings about baby rats, so I thought I would post a couple of pictures I have from other animals studies that were undertaken at the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory.
The first is of Gaither Pratt, who had a grant from the Office of Naval Research to study homing in pigeons, and whether or not they used ESP. I found a funny little exchange between Gaither and Laura Dale from American Society for Psychical Research. “I hope all goes well with your pigeons and that they are simply oozing psi,” Laura wrote Gaither in 1953. “The pigeons are oozing something alright,” he wrote back, “but we are still not at the point of being able to say whether it is psi.”
The picture immediately following is of Karlis Osis who conducted experiments to find evidence of ESP abilities in cats.
