anita ikonen

I always regret giving her publicity. But this publicity's a couple of months old. Apparently our old friend has been communicating with The North Texas Skeptics about their $12K prize. She seems to be determined to fail every paranormal challenge out there. The NTS have seemed to wisely...

Hello. All of us at the Independent Investigations Group would like to apologize for the delay in posting the final report concerning Anita Ikonen's Preliminary Demonstration for the IIG's $50,000 Paranormal Challenge. We are in the process of doing a massive update/relaunch of the IIG website...

Looks like we might all be seeing her at TAM8. http://www.visionfromfeeling.com/demonstration.html Feel free to speculate, Ward

Just finished writing this blog about Mark Edward "testing" Anita Ikonen last Saturday night. I have 8 videos showing the events as they unfolded. http://montereycountyskeptics.blogspot.com/2010/04/falsifying-anita-ikonen-vision-from.html Really welcome comments

I saw this on VisionFromFeeling's website: I can't see how this type of interview advances skepticism. In my mind once a claimant fails the test, they should be granted no more publicity at the expense of skeptics. We've seen post hoc rationalizations from VFF and pretty much every claimant...

IIG Discusses Anita Ikonen (aka Vision From Feeling) on "Skeptically Speaking" Hello. I just wanted to let you know that Jim Newman, Steve Muscarella, and Spencer Marks will be on Skeptically Speaking this coming Friday, February 12, 2010 to discuss Anita Ikonen's (aka Vision From Feeling)...

It turns out that our very own Vision From Feeling, who claims just to innocently be investigating her claims, was a breatharian by the name of Alenara. Here she is giving a (veoh.com/browse/videos/category/educational_and_howto/watch/v18655831Atdj36N9#") Living on Light lecture in Poland back...

I am starting a thread to discuss the protocol design for the IIG test for VisionFromFeeling because I think it's worthy of its own discussion. Let's try to keep the VFF stuff in the appropriate threads and only discuss her in the context of her influence on the negotiations. Hopefully Derek...

Finally, the IIG has released information about their test of VFF. The negotiations have been held behind closed doors which is why I was not able to say more in the related thread. BTW, I have opened a new thread which I hope will focus solely on this test and leave the previous dust ups...

I am starting a new thread on this that we can have a narrow focus about whether VFF has synesthesia and whether that in any way explains her claims. I will start with this quote from Ashles.

VisionFromFeeling contacted me via Skype last Friday to ask me what I thought of a test where she detects whether a woman has a diaphragm in her vagina or not. The story she related is "I saw a diaphragm!! I really saw it! I have never seen one before! <snip> A woman walked past in the hallway...

Somehow I missed this page on VFF's site: http://www.visionfromfeeling.com/migraines.html She posted an entire PM exchange with Lightindarkness, which was quite revealing. There are some gems. If I fail to heal your migraines, that doesn't prove I cannot heal. However, if I can't detect a...

We all know that some people are absolutely convinced that they have paranormal abilities, and that these convictions are totally unshakable in the face of all evidence. No matter how many tests they may fail, they remain 100% sure that their paranormal senses and abilities are in great working...

Attention Skeptics Nationwide, I am a paranormal claimant investigating my claim of medical perceptions. When I look at people I perceive images in my mind that depict the inside of their bodies, see more on www.visionfromfeeling.com. I have submitted a claim and suggested test protocol to the...

I am deeply offended that some of you would not consider me to be entitled to my own world of thoughts, perception, and information processing, which is most essential to what a conscious human being is and has the right to be. To consider that what I experience that is personal and subjective...

Well, I finally decided to pull the trigger and put www.StopVisionFromFeeling.com on-line. I am looking for a few volunteer bloggers to write some articles to put up. They can be copies of things you have written here or new material. I also created a discussion forum should folks decide to...

Dear Skeptics, This will be my second thread here on the JREF Forum, continuing with the first one, Vision From Feeling which was closed after 4 months and 66 pages of posts because of hostile discussions on behalf of some JREF Forum members. The investigation into my paranormal claim...

As I'm sure everyone is aware Anita Ikonen (aka VisionFromFeeling) is planning on running a study to test her 'abilities'. As has been accepted both by her and skeptics here and elsewhere, the study itself is not robust enough to be considered real independent testing. As far as I understand...

This thread is the result of a discussion with Vision from Feeling and UncaYimmy. (see here for details: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131286) The only posts which will be approved here will be posts made by UncaYimmy and Vision from Feeling. If you have a...

Hello JREF Forum Members My name is Anita Ikonen and I am in the process of arranging with the IIG in Hollywood to test what seems to be either true extrasensory perception or the case of something similar to synesthesia which leads me to obtain accurate information that is normally out of reach...
