The Delpasse-Effect

- 6 - 1. 3 A word in regards to fraud Whenever a case of extrasensory perception or psychokinesis is reported about, the first question is always about whether we are dealing with fraud or slight of hand. Such reservations are always appropriate. Fraudulent intentions do actually play a part in many cases. It has unfortunately happened that a medium that initially demonstrated genuine successes, tried to “enhanced” them later with fibs. But a second factor also plays a role: • Deep in their heart, most people wish that everything extrasensory may be fraudulent. Things that do not fit in with our view of the world alarm us. They further call into question our already insecure existence. This is why we tend to dismiss the things that we do not understand as fraud. This is why at first, only those things are possible within parapsychology, that are allowed to be possible. And this includes all the things that can be explained from within a secularistic origin, namely extrasensory perceptions and psychokinesis. • One denotes telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition as extrasensory perceptions, as the biblical gift of prophesy is called these days. • Psychokinesis includes ghostly appearances, poltergeists and all phenomena where items are moved without any visible physical influence. Telepathy and clairvoyance seemed to be the most possible at a first glance. Parapsychology does indeed make the world sit up and take notice in both of these fields.
