90<strong>PSI</strong> <strong>Spies</strong>But successful experiments of projecting a person’s mindto a distant target were not the sole property of SRI. At aboutthe same time as the SRI experiments, Dr. Robert Morris, directorof research at the Psychical Research Foundation inDurham, North Carolina, was conducting tests on a DukeUniversity student named Keith Harary. As Swann did, Hararyreported having out-of-body experiences since childhood.Researchers would place Harary in one building and havehim guess the identity of large cardboard letters some distanceaway in another building. The results were varied, sometimesincredibly accurate but other times poor. On oneoccasion, while Harary failed to correctly identify the letter, henevertheless reported that a second assistant was in the roomwith the letters. It was a correct insight as a second volunteerhad entered the target room unbeknownst to the experimenters. 30Morris concluded that psychics, at least Harary in particular,may respond better to people than to things. So a testwas devised in which Harary was placed in isolation andasked to project his mind to a room in another building.His first attempt was amazingly successful. He not onlycorrectly identified the four staff members present in theroom, but accurately reported where each was seated.Harary would become the youngest remote viewer to participatein the SRI experiments.Puthoff, meanwhile, was totally dedicated to understandingthe phenomenon that Swann had so adequately demonstratedwith the magnetometer. Before allowing Swann to returnhome to New York, he devised a short series ofexperiments in which Swann would try to identify objectsplaced inside a wooden case with thick walls and a snap lock.
