The Philip Experiment (1972) Canadian researchers created a fictional ghost named Philip Aylesford with a detailed biography then held séances to summon him. Using only collective belief they reported table tilting knocking sounds and temperature drops within weeks. No deception was involved proving that group focus could generate poltergeist-like effects. The experiment demonstrated the power of the mind in producing paranormal phenomena without actual spirits. It shifted focus from ghosts to psychology suggesting many hauntings may stem from psychokinesis rather than discarnate beings. Philip remains a landmark case in understanding belief’s role in supernatural experiences.
