The Ghost We Made (The Philip Experiment and the Power of Belief)

What is the nature of a ghost? In the 1970’s, members of a parapsychological research group in Toronto set out specifically to prove ghosts were not spirits of the deceased…but creations of the mind. So they invented one. And then—he showed up. This wasn’t a haunted house. There were no psychics, no Ouija boards, no deaths. Just normal people, imagination, intention... and results that continue to defy explanation. 🎙️ In this episode, we explore: 🔹 The step-by-step creation of Philip, the imaginary ghost 🔹 How a fabricated spirit began moving tables, rapping answers and growing more powerful by the week 🔹 The theories and creations of thought forms such as egregores, servitors, and tulpas 🔹 Comparisons to Poltergeist Phenomena 💬 Have a ghost story of your own?
