Reports of results on sidhis are mostly the kind of results that a developed imagination can cook up, especially in the fluid and generative meditation state.
Independent research on what type of people are attracted to TM would seem to support this assertion. TMers, probably due to the type of people who tend to be attracted to that type of meditation, tend to have "episodes of absorbed and 'self-altering' attention that are sustained by imaginative and 'enactive' representations (Tellegen, 1977, p. 2) and a "tendency to be 'imaginatively enthralled by inner creations,' & 'charmed by the works of the imagination'."
