Hidden Channels of the Mind, Louisa E. Rhine's 1961 study from William Sloane Associates, presents spontaneous psychic experience cases collected at the Duke University parapsychology laboratory she helped run alongside her husband J. B. Rhine. Its strength is that it draws on a large, systematically collected case archive rather than isolated anecdotes. Its limit is that spontaneous case collection depends on self-report rather than controlled testing, so it documents what people reported experiencing, not an independently verified paranormal effect.
