High Strangeness - Ingo Swann ASPR ceiling-target experiment

High Strangeness - Ingo Swann ASPR ceiling-target experiment

Post text

Back in the early 1970s, psychic Ingo Swann sat wired to a polygraph at the American Society for Psychical Research in New York.

A tray of objects hung from the ceiling, completely out of sight.

He was told to leave his body, look down from above, and sketch what he saw…

What happened next helped shape modern remote viewing. 👁️

Media transcript

[Visual, 0:00] Overhead view of Ingo Swann sitting in a chair sketching next to a suspended platform with a heart drawing.

[Unidentified presenter, 0:00] This is Ingo Swann, artist and psychic.

[Visual, 0:02] Close-up of Ingo Swann with a wire sensor attached to his forehead.

[Unidentified presenter, 0:06] He feels that he can project himself up toward the ceiling so he can look from above in the tray and see what's there.

[Visual, 0:10] Close-up of Ingo Swann's hand with a tattoo drawing on a pad.

[Visual, 0:20] Overhead view of Ingo Swann sitting below the platform.

[Unidentified presenter, 0:20] Then he feels he is coming back to his body, and he makes a sketch of what he has seen in the tray.

[Visual, 0:27] Close-up of a sketch of a hammer inside a circle.

[Unidentified presenter, 0:28] Sometimes, he does it with amazing degree of accuracy.

[Unidentified presenter, 0:35] Of course, we are trying to find out how it works in a scientific experiment.

[Visual, 0:41] Front view of Ingo Swann sitting in a chair sketching.

[Ingo Swann, 0:43] Okay, I'm finished.

[Visual, 0:46] Close-up of polygraph instrument panels with blinking lights and pens tracing lines.

[Unidentified narrator, 0:47] The data from the polygraph is carefully analyzed for any physiological evidence of Ingo actually projecting his consciousness out of the body when he viewed the target object.

[Visual, 0:58] Karlis Osis speaking in front of equipment while a woman adjusts electrodes on a subject.

[Karlis Osis, 0:58] We have already found that it really seems he can see the objects on the tray suspended from ceiling, from an out of body point of view. We have also found already that his brainwaves decrease in voltage right here, back of his head. It might mean that the brain is more quiet at the time when he is out, and resumes full activity when he is back in. We will know more for sure next year.

Speaker labels and visual descriptions are machine-generated and checked against the longer source. The identity of the opening presenter remains unverified.
