'Scientists' used residential school children for ESP research
In the 1940s, researchers from Duke University in North Carolina travelled to a residential school in Brandon, Manitoba, where they did ESP experiments on the children there -- without the students' or their parents' consent.
The 1943 paper in the Journal of Parapsychology, recently unearthed by Maeengan Linklater, a Winnipeg aboriginal community worker, details experiments to see whether the children could guess what was on hidden cards using extra-sensory perception.
The concept of ESP has largely been debunked by modern science.
Mr. Linklater passed the paper on to Ian Mosby, a post-doctoral research fellow at McMaster University in Hamilton and an expert on unauthorized experiments performed on residential school children during the middle decades of the the 20th century.
