Text of the page (random words):
the memorandum on it saying you see i was ready for you he told me that he had resolved to ask me just before leaving his house in kentish town as he was intending that evening to do a translation of an english passage in which the words occurred he was in the habit of making such translations in order to improve his knowledge of english the time of his resolution corresponded as far as we could reckon with that of my impression posted by anonymous at 1 00 am friday january 22 2010 we received the account from sir lepel griffin k c s i from phantasms of the living by edmund gurney frederic myers and frank podmore chapter vi transference of ideas and mental pictures we received the account from sir lepel griffin k c s i 53a pall mall february 14th 1884 colonel lyttleton annesley commanding officer of the 11th hussars was staying in my house some time ago and one afternoon having nothing to do we wandered into a large unoccupied room given up to lumber and packing cases colonel a was at one end of this long room reading to the best of my recollection while i opened a box long forgotten to see what it contained i took out a number of papers and old music which i was turning over in my hand when i came across a song in which i years before had been accustomed to take a part dal tuo stellato soglio out of mose in egitto if i remember right as i looked at this old song colonel a who had been paying no attention whatever to my proceedings began to hum dal tuo stellato soglio in much astonishment i asked him why he was singing that particular air he did not know he did not remember to have sung it before indeed i have not ever heard colonel a sing though he is exceedingly fond of music i told him that i was holding the very song in my hand he was as much astonished as i had been and had no knowledge that i had any music in my hand at all i had not spoken to him nor had i hummed the air or given him any sign that i was looking over music the incident is curious for it is outside all explanation on the theory of coincidence posted by anonymous at 1 00 am thursday january 21 2010 finally the class of collective percipience g may be illustrated by an instance from phantasms of the living by edmund gurney frederic myers and frank podmore chapter v specimens of the various types of spontaneous telepathy finally the class of collective percipience g may be illustrated by an instance which since visual cases have preponderated in this chapter i will again select from the auditory group it was received in the summer of 1885 from mr john done of stockley cottage stretton warrington my sister in law sarah eustance of stretton was lying sick unto death and my wife was gone over to there from lowton chapel 12 or 13 miles off to see her and tend her in her last moments and on the night before her death some 12 or 14 hours before i was sleeping at home alone and awaking heard a voice distinctly call me thinking it was my niece rosanna the only other occupant of the house who might be sick or in trouble i went to her room and found her awake and nervous i asked her whether she had called me she answered no but something awoke me when i heard someone calling on my wife returning home after her sister s death she told me how anxious her sister had been to see me craving for me to be sent for and saying oh how i want to see done once more and soon after became speechless but the curious part was that about the same time she was craving i and my niece heard the call john done in a subsequent letter mr done writes in answer to your queries respecting the voice or call that i heard on the night of july 2nd 1866 i must explain that there was a strong sympathy and affection between myself and my sister in law of pure brotherly and sisterly love and that she was in the habit of calling me by the title of uncle done in the manner of a husband calling his wife mother when there are children as in this case hence the call being uncle uncle uncle leading me to think that it was my niece the only other occupant of the house that sunday night calling to me copy of funeral card in remembrance of the late sarah eustance who died july 3rd 1866 aged 45 years and was this day interred at stretton church july 6th 1866 my wife who went from lowton that particular sunday to see her sister will testify that as she attended upon her after the departure of the minister during the night she was wishing and craving to see me repeatedly saying oh i wish i could see uncle done and rosie once more before i go and soon after then she became unconscious or at least ceased speaking and died the next day of which fact i was not aware until my wife returned on the evening of the 4th of july i hope my niece will answer for me however i may state that she reminds me that she thought i was calling her and was coming to me when she met me in the passage or landing and i asked her if she called me i do not remember ever hearing a voice or call besides the above case posted by anonymous at 1 00 am wednesday january 20 2010 the narrator is again the rev p h newnham of whose telepathic rapport with his from phantasms of the living by edmund gurney frederic myers and frank podmore chapter v specimens of the various types of spontaneous telepathy the narrator is again the rev p h newnham of whose telepathic rapport with his wife we have had such striking experimental proof and who describes himself as an utter sceptic in the true sense of the word in march 1854 i was up at oxford keeping my last term in lodgings i was subject to violent neuralgic headaches which always culminated in sleep one evening about 8 p m i had an unusually violent one when it became unendurable about 9 p m i went into my bedroom and flung myself without undressing on the bed and soon fell asleep i then had a singularly clear and vivid dream all the incidents of which are still as clear to my memory as ever i dreamed that i was stopping with the family of the lady who subsequently became my wife all the younger ones had gone to bed and i stopped chatting to the father and mother standing up by the fireplace presently i bade them goodnight took my candle and went off to bed on arriving in the hall i perceived that my fiancee had been detained downstairs and was only then near the top of the staircase i rushed upstairs overtook her on the top step and passed my two arms round her waist under her arms from behind although i was carrying my candle in my left hand when i ran upstairs this did not in my dream interfere with this gesture on this i woke and a clock in the house struck 10 almost immediately afterwards so strong was the impression of the dream that i wrote a detailed account of it next morning to my fiancee crossing my letter not in answer to it i received a letter from the lady in question were you thinking about me very specially last night just about 10 o clock for as i was going upstairs to bed i distinctly heard your footsteps on the stairs and felt you put your arms round my waist the letters in question are now destroyed but we verified the statement made therein some years later when we read over our old letters previous to their destruction and we found that our personal recollections had not varied in the least degree therefrom the above narratives may therefore be accepted as absolutely accurate posted by anonymous at 1 00 am tuesday january 19 2010 the account is from a gentleman of good position whom i must term mr a z from phantasms of the living by edmund gurney frederic myers and frank podmore chapter v specimens of the various types of spontaneous telepathy the account is from a gentleman of good position whom i must term mr a z he is as far removed as possible from superstition and takes no general interest in the subject he has given us the full names of all the persons concerned but is unwilling that they should be published on account of the painful character of the event recorded may 1885 in 1876 i was living in a small agricultural parish in the east of england one of my neighbours at the time being a young man s b who had recently come into the occupation of a large farm in the place pending the alteration of his house he lodged and boarded with his groom at the other end of the village furthest removed from my own residence which was half a mile distant and separated by many houses gardens a plantation and farm buildings he was fond of field sports and spent much of his spare time during the season in hunting he was not a personal friend of mine only an acquaintance and i felt no interest in him except as a tenant on the estate i have asked him occasionally to my house as a matter of civility but to the best of my recollection was never inside his lodgings one afternoon in march 1876 when leaving along with my wife our railway station to walk home i was accosted by s b he accompanied us as far as my front gate where he kept us in conversation for some time but on no special subject i may now state that the distance from this gate going along the carriage drive to the dining and breakfast room windows is about 60 yards both the windows of these rooms face the north east and are parallel with the carriage drive on s b taking leave of us my wife remarked young b evidently wished to be asked in but i thought you would not care to be troubled with him subsequently about half an hour later i again met him and as i was then on my way to look at some work at a distant part of the estate asked him to walk with me which he did his conversation was of the ordinary character if anything he seemed somewhat depressed at the bad times and the low prices of farming produce i remember he asked me to give him some wire rope to make a fence on his farm which i consented to do returning from our walk and on entering the village i pulled up at the cross roads to say good evening the road to his lodgings taking him at right angles to mine i was surprised to hear him say come and smoke a cigar with me to night to which i replied i cannot very well i am engaged this evening do come he said no i replied i will look in another evening and with this we parted we had separated about 40 yards when he turned around and exclaimed then if you will not come good bye this was the last time i saw him alive i spent the evening in my dining room in writing and for some hours i may say that probably no thought of young b passed through my mind the night was bright and clear full or nearly full moon still and without wind since i had come in slight snow had fallen just sufficient to make the ground show white at about 5 minutes to 10 o clock i got up and left the room taking up a lamp from the hall table and replacing it on a small table standing in a recess of the window in the breakfast room the curtains were not drawn across the window i had just taken down from the nearest book case a volume of macgillivray s british birds for reference and was in the act of reading the passage the book held close to the lamp and my shoulder touching the window shutter and in a position in which almost the slightest outside sound would be heard when i distinctly heard the front gate opened and shut again with a clap and footsteps advancing at a run up the drive when opposite the window the steps changed from sharp and distinct on gravel to dull and less clear on the grass slip below the window and at the same time i was conscious that someone or some thing stood close to me outside only the thin shutter and a sheet of glass dividing us i could hear the quick panting laboured breathing of the messenger or whatever it was as if trying to recover breath before speaking had he been attracted by the light through the shutter suddenly like a gunshot inside outside and all around there broke out the most appalling shriek a prolonged wail of horror which seemed to freeze the blood it was not a single shriek but more prolonged com mencing in a high key and then less and less wailing away towards the north and becoming weaker and weaker as it receded in sobbing pulsations of intense agony of my fright and horror i can say nothing increased tenfold when i walked into the dining room and found my wife sitting quietly at her work close to the window in the same line and distant only 10 or 12 feet from the corresponding window in the breakfast room she had heard nothing i could see that at once and from the position in which she was sitting i knew she could not have failed to hear any noise outside and any footstep on the gravel perceiving i was alarmed about some thing she asked what is the matter only someone outside i said then why do you not go out and see you always do when you hear any unusual noise i said there is something so queer and dreadful about the noise i dare not face it it must have been the banshee shrieking young s b on leaving me went home to his lodgings he spent most of the evening on the sofa reading one of whyte melville s novels he saw his groom at 9 o clock and gave him orders for the following day the groom and his wife who were the only people in the house besides s b then went to bed at the inquest the groom stated that when about falling asleep he was suddenly aroused by a shriek and on running into his master s room found him expiring on the floor it appeared that young b had undressed upstairs and then came down to his sitting room in trousers and night shirt had poured out half a glass of water into which he emptied a small bottle of prussic acid procured that morning under the plea of poisoning a dog which he did not possess he walked upstairs and on entering his room drank off the glass and with a scream fell dead on the floor all this happened as near as i can ascertain at the exact time when i had been so much alarmed at my own house it is utterly impossible that any sound short of a cannon shot could have reached me from b s lodgings having to leave home by the early train i was out very soon on the following morning and on going to examine the ground beneath the window found no footsteps on grass or drive still covered with the slight sprinkling of snow which had fallen on the previous evening the whole thing had been a dream of the moment an imagination call it what you will i simply state these facts as they occurred without attempting any explanation which indeed i am totally unable to give the entire incident is a mystery and will ever remain a mystery to me i did not hear the particulars of the
