Sony Indulges in the Paranormal
Wednesday, July 15, 2009 23:50In the 1990’s, the Sony Corporation created a paranormal research group studying many topics such as qi-gong and how to remote view.
The Co-Founder of Sony, Masara Ibuka, created the ESPER (Extrasensory Perception and Excitation Research) group to find out whether paranormal and alternative theories such as remote viewing existed by using proper scientific studies.
According to Yochiro Sako, the former Director of ESPER, their scientific studies proved to a 97.1% degree that people can remote view given the proper tools and techniques! It was so astonishing that this was published in notable publications included Wired Magazine and the well-known Asian regional English paper, the South China Morning Post. This evidence was also presented and both scientific and paranormal conferences worldwide.
Sadly, ESPER closed down soon after Masara Ibuka’s death so we do not know more about their studies as Ibuka was really into paranormal activities like how to remote view. Sony publicly claimed that it closed down ESPER because they did not want to be associated with such weird activities, which from a marketing perspective would bring down its brand image because it may freak some people out.
However, some people think that this was just a PR sham, because if they had gotten results – wouldn’t Sony have done something about it? I'm really cynical that Sony would let their hard work, sweat, tears, and millions of dollars that went into their research go to waste. Unless Sony has millions of dollars to burn, why would they just throw almost a decade's worth of research away? As if that would happen!
What do you think Sony is doing with their research? Do you think they are letting their research and money go to waste, or are they secretly creating products using our innate ESP powers?

Isn’t it funny how the mention of anything involving the paranormal, remote veiwing etc always ends with a line like, “the program was closed down not long after…” somebody died or funding was cut? It’s odd how much if not all of the publically avaiable writing on the subject is at best entru level teasing? The same thing gets said or reported with little or no real information being offered. How come this end of doesn’t get written about? What’s being hidden? Does it work? Can it be harnessed? Can we be protected from it? Never anything about this, again just the same entry level tease crap. Do people ever get tired of the “paranormal” tease? Or does that happen when enough people get mislead or ripped off…
