Psi Phenomenon Description:
When you have psi experiences directly yourself, experiencing tends to be believing. I outline the sorts of psi experiences that I've had in the first part of the video, to be followed by what happened when I tried to look for evidence of what I'd experienced personally, in science. I make the case for and against psi in an episode that I can only imagine will have a bit of something for everyone and be challenging to most people too.
Quick Note:
This video has been released out of order, this is because I wanted to make the telepathy videos side by side (05 and 10), one covering the personal experience and one covering the scientific case. I will go back to doing the videos in order (back to 06) when 11 is complete.
