Brigitte M. wrote in mid-November:
"However theosophists should go outside there limited source of
litterature, and inform themselve of current day scientific,
including for Daniel sincere parapsychological research of a recent
date I think."
In reply, I give below some excellent titles & sources that
summarize "sincere parapsychological research" as well as related
topics and information. I recommend these sources to Brigitte M. as
well as to theosophists and open-minded skeptics of the paranormal.

Phenomena by Dean Radin. See especially Chapter 13, "A Field Guide
to Skepticism."
(2) PARAPSYCHOLOGY: The Controversial Science by Richard S.
Broughton. See especially Chapter 4, "Why Does the Controversy
Continue?"

especially Chapter 15, "The Interpretations of Birthmarks Related to
Previous Lives."
