Throughout recorded history in every culture and period, many persons have believed that they could perceive or influence events at a distance without known physical means of communication or action.

Scientific investigation of such claims began about a hundred years ago, A number of eminent scientists from various fields, including the physicists Sir William Barrett (1844- 1925) and Sir Oliver Lodge (1851-1940), the chemist Sir William Crookes (1832-1919), and the biologist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) gave serious thought to the subject. They felt that the reports of such occurrences had much more to offer than conventional scientists had recognized.
