Eric Wargo attempts to get at the "truth" behind Peter Weir's remarkable film,
Picnic at Hanging Rock. He learns that the author of the "novel" on which the film was based had unusual beliefs about time, and that the whole story had come to her in a series of dreams. Time and dreams also happen to be Wargo's current obsession. (His book,
Time Loops is forthcoming from Anomalist Books.) Wargo tracks down the missing explanatory last chapter cut from the published novel and finds that it reads like something David Lynch, Carlos Castaneda, and Lewis Carroll might have collaborated on together. This is a real rabbit hole of a post that's not to be missed. Wargo would probably agree with the sentiment expressed in the title of an article in the British Psychological Society's
Research Digest that
Parapsychology has been unfairly sidelined, claims a new review of the field. The study referred to is Etzel Cardeña's
review of the field published recently in
American Psychologist. Cardeña's positive summary of parapsychological evidence has stirred up quite storm of opinions, pro and con, on the value of parapsychological research. (PH)
