Old story ...... we knew about this years ago. The US and USSR poured millions into psychic research during the Cold War. Books have been out for DECADES detailing the research.

What's tha matter, Scotsman ...... slow news day???

Why do I feel the 18K went to family members of the guys doing the survey?

Anyone interested in this type of thing should check out the story of this young lad;

The boy has a gift.

VERY old news agreed! This was also done back in the 60"s and at that time many people believed that John F. Kennedy had a psychic bodyguard even! An Institute in USA carried out very similiar 'tests' but with a very good deal of sucess!
Any students of Astral Projection methods will be aware of Mr Robert Monroe - http://www.monroeinstitute.com/

A very underrated person - read his books.,

I predicted back in 2002 that the Scotsman would run this story today.

Is that spooky or what.

Must dash. Time to water the cannabis.

Not bad hire 12 guinea pigs, fail and declare that it does not exist, thats really thorough

A quick Google for >russia cold war psychics< will turn up a lot of info from the USSR. Where's the UK info come from? Has something been declassified, or did the news team spend yesterday surfing the web?

Uri Geller has more chance of being PM than Michael Meacher.

>>according to previously classified report released under the Freedom of Information Act.<<

Doh !! It answers my question, which only goes to show that my psychic powers (and my powers of reading) aren't working too well this morning !!

Very much Stephen King's "Hearts of Atlantis", bizzare!

Just a thought. Were they using these guys (or girls) to search the astral plane for weapons of Mass Distruction in Iraq. Got some false reading there then eh?

We should perhaps contact Mulder and Scully to investigate the paranormal activities at the Scotsman newspaper, who deem this story part of the Education section!
