In 1964 a hospital in the United States carried out a series of experiments on dream telepathy. While one person slept, another person would attempt to transmit telepathically a randomly selected image. The sleeper would then report his dreams, and a panel of judges would decide which of eight possible target images best matched the dream imagery described. They conducted 450 such trials with a hit rate of 65%, for odds against chance of 10 billion to one. As Dean Radin recounts in The Science of Magic, one of the target images used was the painting Descent from the Cross by Max Beckmann, and . . .
The telepathic sender was given this randomly selected image, and to further motivate him to get emotionally involved with the task, he was also given a small wooden crucifix [sic], a Jesus doll, some nails, and a red marker. He was invited to nail the Jesus doll to the crucifix, then use the red marker to color his body with blood.
Wait, what? What kind of sicko designs a telepathy experiment that involves crucifying a voodoo doll of Jesus Christ? I flipped back a few pages to check.

"Jewish physics" may not be a real thing, but Jewish parapsychology apparently is.

And the scientific study was undoubtedly funded by a grant from a Mr. E. P. Stein
