My Library

The Chairman of the Publishing Committee was Dr. J. G. Pratt, a noted parapsychologist. Mrs. Laura A. Dale was Editor of the ASPR’s JOURNAL. I, myself, obeyed Dr. Osis’ instructions of secrecy, and told no one, not even Zelda, about the outcome of the OOB experiments judging. But on the next day, 5 April, I had three gentlemen to my studio. They were from Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, and who had come to visually inspect me as a suitable "psychic" to take part in the seminars and retreats of that Fellowship. I had prepared coffee and cakes for them. But not long after they arrived, they began congratulating me on the successful judging of the eight formal OOB experiments. In fact, they seemed overwhelmed -- and so I undertook to caution them about reading too much into the experiments. By that evening, my phone was ringing constantly. It seemed that EVERYONE knew Dr. Osis’ secret. Buell Mullen, Zelda, and Ruth Hagy Brod complained that I had not alerted them earlier. As a result of this news, the ladies planning the reception took it on themselves to enlarge the invitational list and make it a public open house affair. Buell and Zelda went to their telephones accordingly, while Ruth Hagy Brod notified her very many contacts in the media. I merely shuddered.
