There are tests for telepathy (ESP), clairvoyance, astrology, telekinesis, astral projection, psychometry, dowsing, and many more. You do not need to know anything about these subjects to do the tests. Every step, from set up to scoring, has been done for you. All you have to do is to have fun!

After the pressure from the public and some Conservative politicians, including Ramsay MacDonald and Arthur Conan Doyle, a new secret inquiry started, after which Slater was released in 1928 with £6,000 compensation, although the real murderers, protected by political connections, were never punished.
