Professor Proves Psychic Powers Exist

67 Not Out: "Psychic powers exist. Nope, that's not just my opinion or that of quite a few 67 Not Out readers. It's also the opinion of a Professor Daryl Bem who has carried out experiments to back this up. His findings have been published in the New Scientist magazine.

In one of his experiments the Professor's students were shown a list of words to memorise. Later they were asked to recall as many of these as they could and finally were given a random selection of the words to type out.

Obviously the students were better at remembering some words than others.

But here's the psychic bit. They tended to remember the words they would later be asked to type. This suggested a future event had affected their ability to remember."
