Hello, Transilvanian,

you ask for a list of unsuccessful ganzfeld trials. Luckily, I'm able to put that together without too much bother, if you don't mind the cut and paste. The data below is Author; Title; Year; Number of trials; Hit rate in percent (as a decimal).

While these, by themselves, are not proof that ESP does not exist, it should give a better idea of the data as a whole. Hope this helps.

(EDIT: I just noticed that not all of these are ones with a chance hit rate of 25%. Some have different levels expected by chance, for example 50%.)
