Ep 310: The Rhine Research Center – Extraordinary Evidence

 
 
“These psychic discoveries by reputable scientists have opened up, literally, a new world.”
— Dr. William Moulton Marston, American psychologist, inventor of the polygraph and Wonder Woman comics, on the work that J.B. and Louisa Rhine conducted at Duke University.
 

Description:

This week, we’re heading into the world of parapsychology with a visit to the legendary Rhine Research Center in North Carolina—an institution that’s been quietly pushing the boundaries of the human mind for nearly a century. Founded in the 1930s by J.B. and Louisa Rhine at Duke University, the center has long been a hub for rigorous scientific inquiry into phenomena like telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis. Recently, friend of the show Allison Jornlin invited Scott on a trip to the Rhine to help renowned researcher Dr. Nancy Zingrone donate materials from her and her late husband’s extensive paranormal library. While there, Scott met John G. Kruth, Executive Director of the Rhine and one of the foremost experts on the scientific study of consciousness and psychic phenomena, who joins us to share the fascinating history of the Rhine.
