Uri Geller’s Paranormal Abilities Had CIA Interest Early On - Mystery Wire

Before the tabloids had a heyday with spoon bending and card tricks in the 1970s, the CIA was quietly looking into the possibility that "psychics" had some real skills that could be put to good use. Uri Geller (a familiar name to anyone waiting in a grocery store checkout line reading National Enquirer headlines back then), a soldier in the Israeli army, caught their attention with his purported remote viewing abilities. And before the CIA, Harry Houdini sought to disprove the abilities of similar "psychics": Overlooked No More: Rose Mackenberg, Houdini’s Secret ‘Ghost-Buster’ worked tirelessly for the magician. Their joint goal was to uncover every fraudulent seer and psychic, and thanks to Rose they were remarkably successful. She was just too interesting a character to describe here, so read the article. You're going to be adding a new paranormal hero to your list. (CM)
