'''Psiram''' is a closed wiki taking a sceptical look at pseudoscience, CAM and New Age believes. A Blog and a forum are also offered. Most of the articles are written in german.  All authors use anonymous nicknames, the operator is unknown.  The anonymity is explained with negative experiences by identifyable critics of New Age beliefs.[http://psiram.com/en/index.php/Psiram:General_disclaimer]
'''German Psiram'''.
 
'''Psiram''' greift Themen aus der Esoterik, den Grenzwissenschaften und der alternativen Medizin auf und berichtet darüber aus kritischer, aufgeklärter Sicht. [http://psiram.com/ge/index.php/Psiram:Über_Psiram]

== Public reception ==
The first major public reception was 2008 in the German online magazine Heise/Telepolis (Fabian Kunow: [http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/27/27909/1.html Licht ins Dunkel des Irrationalen], Telepolis vom 17. Mai 2008). Psiram's article on Prahlad Jani was referenced in the science blog [http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/05/physiology_explains_it_all.php Pharyngula], and their article on night milk crystals was referenced by the [http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/18/nocturnal-milk-night-insomnia-sleep Guardian].
 
A German court based a decision partly on arguments collected by Esowatch [http://www.rechtsprechung.saarland.de/cgi-bin/rechtsprechung/document.py?Gericht=sl&nr=2993]. Further, data from Esowatch was used in an inquiry in the Austrian parliament [http://www.parlament.gv.at/PAKT/VHG/XXIV/J/J_06639/fnameorig_197085.html].
 
==Criticism==
Esowatch met harsh reactions on New Age blogs.
