Those of us in the Conspiracy Section have been discussing David Ray Griffin, the guru of the 9-11 "Truth" Movement, but I was not aware that he was also a parapsychology huckster as well until yesterday afternoon. In 1997, he wrote a book called Parapsychology, Philosophy and Spirituality, a Postmodern Exploration. Selected portions are available on Google books, and I read enough via an online version available from my local library to get the gist of it. Griffin claims that Ganzberg experiments and meta-analysis techniques have demonstrated that psi abilities are real. From this, Griffin goes on to provide anecdotal evidence of just about every parapsychology scam under the sun, from mediums to life after death to reincarnation to possession to apparitions and out of body experiences.
The question I have is whether Griffin made any kind of ripple back in the late 1990s among the parapsychology believers and their skeptics. He readily admits with regard to the 9-11 "Truth" that he does little original research; he just packages up what others have claimed, and I'm wondering if this was enough to get any attention among the Art Bell/George Noury crowd?
