Eileen Garrett was an Irish medium who was well-known in New York City parapsychology circles. She was one of the psychics tested by [Andrija Puharich](/people/andrija-puharich/) at his [Round Table Foundation](/organizations/round-table-foundation/) in Maine.[^1]

Garrett's psychic abilities were tested in a [Faraday cage](/concepts/faraday-cage/) using Zener cards. According to Puharich, her ESP scores were significantly higher inside the cage, which suggested that electronic shielding had a positive impact on psychic functioning.[^1]
