Disappearance of Jacobo Grinberg
Mexican neurophysiologist Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum, who studied consciousness, shamanic healing and claimed brain-to-brain 'transfer' effects, disappeared in Mexico City in December 1994, shortly before his 48th birthday.
1994 CE · 19.35, -99.16 · status: unexplained
The account
Grinberg had worked with the healer Pachita and written widely on 'syntergic' theory. Neither he nor his wife was ever found, and no explanation has been established; theories range from crime to a planned departure.
The sceptical view
His telepathy experiments were not independently replicated. There is no evidence of anything paranormal in the disappearance itself.
