Walter Levy was an assistant to J. B. Rhine at the Duke University Parapsychology Laboratory. In 1974, he was caught cheating in an experiment involving rats. The experiment was designed to test whether rats could use ESP to increase the number of pleasurable brain stimulations delivered by an apparatus1.
Levy's research assistants discovered him tampering with the lab equipment and recorded him on videotape. When confronted with the evidence, Levy confessed and resigned. This scandal became fodder for skeptics of Rhine and his parapsychology research1.
