Instituto Mexicano de Investigaciones Siquicas

The Instituto Mexicano de Investigaciones Siquicas (Mexican Institute of Psychical Investigations) was founded in 1939 as the Circulo de Investigationes Metasíquicas de Mexico at the National University of Mexico. Its founding was occasioned by the fame of physical medium Louis Martinez, whose work it studied. It conducted a series of séances with Martinez, attended by a number of Mexico City's social and political leaders. The organization flourished for a few years and then was discontinued.
