Anyway, 5 of us took the house apart with no joy. In desperation I made a pendulum, using a threaded needle, to ask 'yes/no' Qs and we found it in minutes...where HE had tucked it away...! It freaked us all out a tad... So if objects can be found this way, why not people...? Go to your local spiritualist church and get some free psychics to experiment with..?

I'll even go so far as to point any psychics out there towards a one million dollar prize - available to anyone who can prove they have a paranormal ability.

The blood hound tracked the misper quicker than the pshycic, but the pshycic got to within 10 meters of the misper fast (had he been serach trained, he would have made a find very promptly). As such, I am not convinced it is all nonsense. Nor am I convinced it isn't. I have no idea how objective the test really was, nor would I base a conclusion on one experiment. It may be that by fine tuning a human being's natural awareness of other human beings (you know when someone is watching you) that this effect could be achieved, or it may indeed be magic. As developers of SAR science, we should be encouraging psychics to participate in properly designed experiments, rather than writing off something because we don't understand it. What we don't know always exceeds what we do (even in your case Rob ;-) ) A while back one of our members (who trained bloodhounds) appeared on a TV show where they pitted pshycic resources against the conventional equivalent.
