First as foremost I'd like to thank you for writing this wonderful post about our club. I showed it to the kids today and they were very excited about the fact that we were being talked about openly in the paranormal research community.<BR/>A couple of things... First about the Tarot cards. Our question regarding them was not psychological in nature. The kids were made aware that psychology has been shown to have an influence on the reading. Most of the children reported 70 - 80% accuracy of the cards readings. We wanted to test, however, if any paranormal activity would result from use of the cards. The psychology behind it would have been a completely different experiment altogether. Our results showed, as will be published soon in Haunted Times, that there were higher levels of both gamma and emf radiation during the reading as well as a noted temperature drop of 5 - 6 degrees F. The editor for Haunted Times, Mark Mihalko, did catch some very interesting photographs during the initial testing. We brought the Tarot along with us on the investigation to see if maybe they would help stir something up due to the semi-incredible results received during the first session.<BR/>Secondly, I am currently working on getting the kids to start publishing research papers on our finding in a journal article style and format. I thought it was a bit funny that you had mentioned that because I was thinking the same thing and mentioned it to them a couple of weeks ago. This is something I am going to work closely with our club secretary/'s with to create detailed results of our findings that could published.<BR/>Again, thank you for the kind words and helpful tips!<BR/><BR/>Marcus DanielsMarcushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13915183731219113361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168219303449559049.post-35608865207964427262008-12-03T10:58:00.000-07:002008-12-03T10:58:00.000-07:00All I can say is 'oy veh'.<BR/><BR/>So a high school club is as good as a mediocre group of adult investigators?
