A new sporting event debuted over the summer, a form of mental gymnastics in which the less you "know," the better you do.
At the inaugural Psi Games in early August, "perceptualists" competed in trials of mindsight, remote viewing, precognition, psychokinesis, and dowsing.
On game day, 19 perceptualists—percepts for short—huddled in a corner of the Jefferson Ballroom in the Omni Charlottesville Hotel.
The audience included ESP hobbyists, consciousness researchers, energy healers, and UFO enthusiasts.
Psi is an umbrella term for parapsychological mental phenomena.
