About this episode
Beverly Jaegers , founder of the U.S. Psi Squad, discusses training ordinary people to develop psychic abilities like remote viewing. Jaegers, a third-generation police officer and professional journalist, explains she had no natural psychic talent but taught herself these skills after researching Russian paranormal programs during the Cold War. The Psi Squad, composed mostly of trained police officers, offers services to law enforcement pro bono. Jaegers emphasizes anyone can learn these abilities through proper training rather than relying on innate gifts. She describes Russian experiments that demonstrated trained individuals could stop a frog's heart using mental intention, leading to sudden Soviet secrecy in 1964. The Iron Curtain slammed down once weaponization potential became apparent. Jaegers advocates for systematic training in remote viewing, telepathy, and other psi phenomena, countering the notion that only special individuals possess such abilities. Her work demonstrates practical applications in criminal investigations while demystifying paranormal capabilities through disciplined methodology and practice.
