I have found this
The Foundation is committed to providing reliable information about paranormal claims. It both supports and conducts original research into such claims.
At JREF, we offer a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. The JREF does not involve itself in the testing procedure, other than helping to design the protocol and approving the conditions under which a test will take place. All tests are designed with the participation and approval of the applicant. In most cases, the applicant will be asked to perform a relatively simple preliminary test of the claim, which if successful, will be followed by the formal test. Preliminary tests are usually conducted by associates of the JREF at the site where the applicant lives. Upon success in the preliminary testing process, the "applicant" becomes a "claimant."
To date, no one has passed the preliminary tests.
I always smile when I see this statement. Being a familiar with working with spirit I have know desire to get into any test or feel any need to prove anything.
Further more I would expect that if I put it out into the ether and those in Spirit that I intended to prove to some earthly group their existence in exchange for a Million Dollars - I might find nobody home.
In our Country there was a time when anything vaguely spooky was shown on TV, the local skeptic society was trundled on in an attempt to debunk -- They don't do that any more.
I have just watched the latest episode of Sensing Murder on our TV.
I have mentioned the program before and are always impressed with the ability of the mediums. Last night 2 Mediums were give the same photo of a murdered person on different days and had a Day to do their work.
they are kept separate from each other and monitored to see they didn't do any research.
Neither looked at the photo immediately.
Both Mediums - determined the month and year the person vanished,
The Gender - the fact that she was deaf - both picked up she used a unique sign language.
They looked on a map and went to the house in the countryt she was last seen.
They both gave interesting details relating to her murder and much more... most of this before they even looked at the photo.
All those things JREF want to pay a million dollars to prove are simple common happenings - Millions of people are aware of - So what are they trying to prove.
