Her articles, all of them published in the Journal of Parapsychology, include "Placement PK Tests with Three Types of Objects" (Vol. 15, No. 2, 1951); "Conviction and Associated Conditions in Spontaneous Cases" (Vol. 15, No. 4, 1951); "Subjective Forms of Spontaneous Psi Experiences" (Vol. 17 No. 1, 1953); "Relations of Experiences and Associated Events" (Vol. 17, No. 3, 1953); "Frequency of Types in Spontaneous Precognition" (Vol. 18, No. 2, 1954); "Precognition and Intervention" (Vol. 19, No. 1, 1955); "Relationship of Agent and Precipient in Spontaneous Telepathy" (Vol. 20, No. 1, 1956); "Hallucinatory Psi Experiences" (in three parts: Vol. 20, No. 4, 1956; Vol. 21, Nos. 1 & 3, 1957).
