My Library

A PLEA: When I was organizing my archives for this book, I attempted to locate Dr. Carole Silfen. She has vanished, and is not locatable via any lists of psychologists or in any telephone directory in the United States. So if anyone knows of her whereabouts or what happened to her, I’d be very appreciative, with my thanks in advance. Chapter 48 URI GELLER As of 1971, there were many American psychic personalities who had some kind of fame, greater or lesser. Some of these were noble people, some pretentious, some tended toward scumbaggery -but NONE of which had any SCIENTIFIC credibility (as it was referred to back then) and ALL of which were ATTACKED by skeptics if they became too visible. Parapsychologists tended to avoid the entire lot of them so as not to be painted with the skeptical tar brushes. The most famous was probably the seer of Washington, D.C., Jeanne Dixon. But skeptics avoided shoot-outs with her because of her tremendously powerful political and media connections.
