Thursday

The purpose of the experiment was to determine if it was possible for a "spirit" of a "dying" hospital patient to "see" an electonic display which presented randomly-generated sentences. The electronic display was placed in a position not observable from the patients' beds.

I do not know for how long the experiment was continued. I do not know if any out-of-body experiences were reported by patients while the electronic display was operating.
