This week's extra episode takes a look at the intriguing world of paranormal experiments, starting with the Philip Experiment conducted in the 1970s by Dr. A.R.G. Owen and the Toronto Society for Psychical Research. The experiment aimed to test whether a fictional ghost could be created through the collective belief of a group. By inventing a character, Philip Aylesford, and holding séances, the group triggered seemingly paranormal phenomena, such as table movements and knocking sounds, which were interpreted as evidence of psychokinesis. The results sparked a debate between believers in the power of the mind over physical reality and skeptics who saw the phenomena as products of subconscious influence.

The episode also covers the Rice Experiment, which explored the concept of thought forms and their impact on physical objects. This experiment involved a group of people attempting to manifest paranormal activity through concentrated belief. Additionally, the story of Matthew Manning, a British man known for his psychic abilities, is explored, highlighting his purported ability to influence electrical systems and create spontaneous healing effects. These experiments shed light on the complexities of human consciousness and belief, raising questions about the connection between the mind and the paranormal.
