In 1972, a Toronto research group conducted the Philip Experiment, aiming to prove that ghosts are not real by creating and interacting with a fictional ghost named Philip. They hypothesized that all paranormal phenomena could be explained by the human mind alone. This episode delves into the fascinating outcomes of the Philip Experiment using original documentary footage and insights from Allan Kardec's 'The Spirits’ Book', written over a century prior.

This episode explores:

• The real outcomes of the Philip Experiment
• Why researchers doubted they were communicating with a real spirit
• How Philip's personality diverged from the invented character
• How Kardec’s work suggests they may have contacted an actual spirit
