Abstract
25 well-documented (and published by Stevenson in 1970) cases of intense paranormal (“telepathic”) experiences concerning death or illness to friends or family were analyzed according to the global geomagnetic activity (the aa index) at the times of their occurrence. The characteristics of these cases were representative of the general literature and occurred between the years 1878 and 1967. All 25 experiences were reported to have occurred on days when the geomagnetic activity was less than the means for those months. Repeated-measures analyses of variance for the daily aa indices for the 7 days before to the 7 days after the experiences confirmed the observation that they occurred on days that displayed much less geomagnetic activity than the days before or afterwards. These results are commensurate with the hypothesis that extremely low frequency fields, generated within the earth-ionospheric cavity but disrupted by geomagnetic disturbances, may influence some human behavior.
