Space experiment
In the parapsychological literature, a series of experiments on precognition that were carried out by and with the Dutch clairvoyant Gerard Croiset (1909–1980) in the 1950s and 1960s are called space experiments .
The first experiments
The first experiment of this kind was carried out in 1926 by the parapsychologist Eugène Osty (1874–1938).
In June 1953 Hans Bender and WHC Tenhaeff took up the approach of these experiments and carried out a new experiment of this kind in a Palatinate adult education center . Croiset and the two directors of the experiment had booked a room in the local adult education center for a certain evening and invited the public to an experiment without further details. On the day of the event, Croiset in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse drew a seating plan for the room in the Pirmasens adult education center and then ticked 73rd place. He then gave very detailed information about the person (“target person”) who would sit on this seat that evening, not only referring to their appearance, clothing, age and gender, but also very precise details the biography. On the evening of the event, 250 people appeared, who sat in the available seats of their choice. However, a person fitting the description of Croiset was not seated in seat 73, but two seats further. In a subsequent survey, she confirmed the personal details in the details.
