Philip The Ghost

In 1972 the Toronto Society for Psychical Research created a control group comprised of eight members to create being of energy from their collective imagination. Headed by George Owen and his wife Iris they created Philip. He had a backstory story, a life, a family, and one of the members even created a sketch of Philip. Over the course of the two year experiment Philip began to interact with the group through a table. Their interactions began with knocks on the table and then quickly elevated to tilting of the table and at one point the table itself lifting off the ground. In one instance, the table moved so far that it cornered one of the members of the group. Join us as we tell their story and explore the idea of whether they created a Tulpa from their own imagination or perhaps contacted an entity that took on the persona of Philip.
