To Solve the ESP Mystery
Extra-Sensory Perception, or E.S.P., is now emerging from the shadows of the occult & the supernatural. Ignored & ridiculed by men of science in the past, this mental ability to receive direct, reliable information about distant events, sometimes even before they happen, continues to defy our physical laws & transcend our notions of time & space. Scientists are now studying E.S.P. effects in the laboratory, & this film takes us to the Maimonides Medical Center in New York City where we see test being done on telepathy, or mind-to-mind communication without the use of physical senses. We also see tests for precognition & prophecy, & learn how hypnosis, biofeedback & sensory deprivation are being analyzed as enhancers of people s ability to transmit & receive mental images.
