In 1882, trying to separate psi phenomena from spiritualism, the Society for Psychical Research was founded in London.

In 1927, Joseph Rhine began work at Duke University and established the term “extrasensory perception.” His facility became the Rhine Research Center, and is one of the leaders in studying parapsychology.

Though ESP and parapsychology are slowly being considered legitimate science-based topics, many people do not believe they actually exist.

“The most fascinating and frustrating aspect [of my parapsychology study] is the emotionally fierce reactions of people who have decided, based on nothing but prejudice, that the results of parapsychological experiments cannot be what they appear to be,” Radin said.

Swindell, though, cautions against believing studies that have not been replicated or appear too good to be true.

“Often times when you read an account of an experiment, it’s difficult to determine what actually happened,” she said.

“We tend to look for a reason why things happen but you have to be an objective skeptic when looking at the evidence.” Radin believes this objective skepticism can be useful for people — but non-objective skepticism isn’t.

“For genuine skeptics, meaning those who doubt but are open-minded, there is a substantial scientific literature that can be studied.

He claimed that his attorneys were withholding information that was important to his defense.

Lewis said Muhammad told her that he is innocent and thinks "his arrest was the result of an elaborate scheme to frame him for the murders." She wrote that Muhammad told her he also believes accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo was "fed information by the police and forced to make a false confession." Muhammad has refused to assist his attorneys, public defenders Paul DeWolfe and Brian D.

Shefferman, saying that he can't share his "secret defense strategy" with his attorneys because "they cannot be trusted," Lewis wrote.

Muhammad and Malvo are accused of murdering 10 people and wounding three during the three-week period in October, and have been tied to killings in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Washington state.

Muhammad was convicted and sentenced to death for a sniper shooting in Manassas, Va.

Malvo also was convicted in Virginia and sentenced to life in prison.

Malvo is scheduled to go on trial in Montgomery County in the fall for the same six murders.

He is not eligible for a death sentence because he was 17 when the killings occurred.
