Terry Palmer, PhD, is author of The Science of Spirit Possession. He is a member of the Society for Psychical Research as well as the Scientific and Medical Network. He is also a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.
Here notes that, while there are many negative connotations to the term spirit possession, there are also positive examples. He describes his encounter with an ostensible spirit who identified itself as Lao Tsu. He also presents an example of a negative encounter. He notes that it can be extremely difficult to distinguish between an autonomous spirit entity, such as the spirit of someone who is deceased, and thought-forms of our own creation. Both types of phenomena can possess an individual.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
