In 1937, Arctic explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins embarked on a daring rescue mission for stranded Russian flyers. Before his departure, he partnered with mentalist Harold Sherman for an unprecedented telepathic experiment. While Wilkins navigated the desolate Arctic, he attempted to transmit specific thoughts to Sherman, hundreds of miles away in New York, at predetermined times. Both meticulously documented their experiences, Wilkins as the sender and Sherman as the receiver. This compelling account chronicles their ambitious six-month endeavor, offering a fascinating glimpse into the possibilities of mind-to-mind communication amidst extreme circumstances.

📖 Why choose it
Why this book is worth reading

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
While fascinating for its historical context and ambitious scope, this book may not suit readers seeking rigorous scientific proof or modern empirical data on telepathy. It is primarily a narrative account of an experiment rather than a definitive study, relying on personal documentation rather than statistical analysis. Those expecting dry academic prose or conclusive evidence of psychic ability might find the speculative nature disappointing. However, for those who appreciate the cultural history of esotericism and the boldness of early 20th-century experiments, it remains a valuable, if somewhat dated, primary source.
