PRECOGNITIVE REMOTE VIEWING IN
THE CHICAGO AREA: A REPLICATION
OF THE STANFORD EXPERIMENT
By BRENDA J. DUNNE AND JOHN P. BISAHA
ABSTRACT; The ability of untrained individuals to describe a remote
site where an agent will be at a future time, before the target location haspb ems,
determined, was investigated in eight separate trials using two volunteer pe --it?*
ients who had no claim to extraordinary psychic abilities. The
descriptions were matched and ranked against the various transcri
locations ns of
independent judges who had no other co target locations by results
of this matching cited a degree of accuracy p 008 (one-tailed) si
g~-
The ability of individuals to describe remote geographical loca-
tions up to several thousand kilometers distant from their physical
presence was labeled "remote viewing" by Puthoff and Targ (1976a)
at Stanford Research Institute. In these experiments the percipient
was closeted with an experimenter at SRI and, at an agreed-upon
time, attempted to describe the site which was then being visited by a
target team of experimenters known to the percipient. The target
sites were chosen randomly from a pool of over 100 targets within a
30-minute driving distance and were unknown to either the percip-
ient or the experimenters who remained with him. After allowing 30
minutes for travel time, the percipient was asked to attempt to
scribe aloud into a tape recorder his impressions of the locat: ,4`
where he thought the target team was and to draw a sketch of the
location he was describing. The "demarcation" team remained at the
target site for 15 minutes, the same 15-minute period during which
the percipient was recording his impressions.
In the course of experimentation, one participant claimed to
have received impressions of the targets before the trials began, and
her descriptions turned out to be exceptionally accurate, even
though the target locations had not been selected at the time these
impressions were received. These spontaneous occurrences moti-
This paper is based on a preliminary report given on August 21, 1976, at the
