On the OpenMindSite you do not get ads for
"online psychic readings"
or for "tarots while-u-wait".
 

Still, we need resources to promote this site. Each penny donated will be used simply to pay for online advertising and let more people know about these subjects. No contribution is too small.

 

This part of the Open Mind Site features a selection of Web links covering different aspects of psychical research. We have made an effort to seep through the mass of resources available on the Web - most of which are in fact very damaging for the credibility of psychical research - and select only very good resources. Obviously, this list is in no way exhaustive. We hope you will find this interesting.
