Do they just get bored with the experiment maybe or don't want to be bossed around, so they go and find something more exciting to do? |
It isn't against the rules for spirits/entities on the other side to influence reality in a statistically significant way.
It is, however, against the rules for your reality to bring you experiences that violate your freedom to choose your own beliefs.
So you'll never see such an experiment conducted in a way that convinces you to change your mind... at least not until after you've willingly changed your mind on your own.
If I reported such an experiment in great detail and with great success, your subconscious wouldn't let you see it. Either you'd miss that article completely, or you'd read it and save it for later and forget to get back to it, or you'd read it and interpret it in some inaccurate way, finding a way to dismiss it without ever looking into it further. Your own subconscious would literally stop you from seeing what you believe is impossible. That's a barrier you cannot cross except by conscious choice.
