Macro-PK Experiments: Level of Control – Repeatability – Distance Effect – Confinement Effect

In different publications like in the Journal of Scientific Exploration (Dullin & Jamet, 2018), in the Journal of Parapsychology (Dullin & Jamet, 2020) or presented at the SSE-PA Connections Conference (Dullin, Jamet, & Dries, 2021), methodologies and results concerning the study of macro-psychokinesis on lightweight spinning objects, in a non-confined environment, were presented.

The results obtained tend to prove that the motion of the target in these experiments cannot be attributed to thermal/aerodynamic effects. Compiling all the facts from the beginning of this research, discarding the different classic physical causes of the movement, the hypothesis of some macro-PK effects has been placed.

In order to better qualify these effects, this paper presents ongoing research that was conducted since 2021 in different directions: the ability or not for the putative PK-agent to control the movement, the level of repeatability of the experiments, the impact of the distance of the PK-agent from the target, and the impact of the confinement of the target.

Some research was conducted by the Rhine Research Center in 2014, particularly on macro-PK effect in a confined environment, and the impact of the mood of the agent (Black & Carpenter, 2014). For the distance effect, following his work on RSPK cases, G. W. Roll proposed an attenuation effect (attenuation of the number of incidents with increased distance from the agent) (Roll, 1977).

Since he was a teenager, besides a career in the software editing business, Eric Dullin was very interested in physics and paranormal phenomena. He was lucky to experience one poltergeist phenomenon and did some research around the case (as in the rapping sound signature). In 2014, he joined the LAPDC which presented a group of volunteers interested in experimenting with telekinesis using a scientific approach. He then contributed to develop and conduct a set of experiments whose methodology and results have been presented and/or published, in IMI, IGPP, SPR, JSE and PA. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Eric-Dullin/research

The new research performed since 2021 are the topic of his talk today. In parallel, he has been conducting a qualitative and quantitative analysis on Poltergeist/RSPK cases and is also developing a repository of more than 1000 documented cases with their characteristics, from middle age until now, across a large number of countries. He also conducts some studies and investigations in collaboration with IMI (Institut Métapsychique International) around the topics of hauntings, poltergeist and physical mediumship, with a recent case in Greece, at a Martial Art center.

The Parapsychological Association is an international professional organization of scientists and scholars engaged in the study of psi (or ‘psychic’) experiences, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, psychic healing, and precognition. The primary objective of the PA is to achieve a scientific understanding of these experiences.
