What would you make of rain barrels that refill themselves?
Psychic horses? Mind-reading Cold War spies? For a group of
scientists at the Duke Parapsychology Lab under the leadership of
Dr. J. B. Rhine--considered the Einstein of the paranormal--such
mysteries demanded further investigation. From 1930 to 1980, these
dedicated men and women attempted to test the bizarre, the
frightening, and the unexplainable against the rigors of science,
ultimately finding proof that the human mind possesses telepathic
powers.
