[edit] Biography

Bieschel is the co-founder of the Windbridge Institute for Applied Research in Human Potential a psychic woo organization that claims everything from levitation, psychokinesis to mediumship is scientifically genuine. Bieschel obtained a PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology with a minor in Microbiology and Immunology (2003) from the University of Arizona (UA).[1]

Bieschel published the pseudoscientific book Among Mediums: A Scientist's Quest for Answers (2013) which has said mental mediums such as Leonora Piper communicated with the dead. The book ignored any evidence of fraud in the mediums she wrote about. She has also supported the controversial experiments of Gary Schwartz which have been rejected by the scientific community.[2]

Bieschel has published many pseudoscience articles in parapsychology journals claiming that mediums can contact the dead.[3] Her claims have been rejected by the scientific community and her only supporters are other spiritualists such as Alex Tsakiris and Robert McLuhan.[4]
