Liébeault, in order that no hint should be given even in a whisper, wrote on a piece of paper, 'Mademoiselle, on waking, will see her black hat transformed into a red one.' The paper was first passed round to all the witnesses, then MM

Read record →always speaks of "seeing" the figures, but as a matter of fact his eyes were closed, or appeared to be closed, throughout the experiments, and the pupils, as already stated, were introverted, at least at the commencement of the trance

Read record →Thirty-two trials were made with T., of which only four were successful--two completely, one partially, one completely, but deferred--i.e., the subject of the preceding experiment, a black dog, came before his vision after the agent had already passed to anoth
Read record →I placed my hand upon her forehead, and in a few minutes she was in a light hypnotic sleep
Read record →As regards the particular effect produced, it must be remembered that the prime characteristic of the hypnotic state is its openness to suggestion, and especially to suggestion coming through a particular channel
Read record →Experiments of a somewhat similar nature are recorded by Dr
Read record →It is difficult to feel sure that the success of the experiment under such conditions was not due to the command having been unconsciously muttered by Dr
Read record →Now this subterranean intelligence presents many points of analogy with the secondary consciousness of the hypnotic subject; in both states we find indications of thought and will distinct from those of waking life, and of a memory not shared with that life
Read record →We pass on to experiments in which the ideas transmitted from the agent find other subterranean channels in the percipient's organism for their expression
Read record →But in a modified form of the experiment, introduced by Professor Richet, the percipients, two or three in number, were seated at one table and a printed alphabet was placed on another table behind the percipients and out of their range of vision
Read record →far described, where success has been attained, the agent and percipient, if not actually in the same room, have been separated by a distance not exceeding at the most 25 or 30 feet
Read record →It is much to be desired that investigators should give attention to obtaining more results in this branch of the inquiry
Read record →But perhaps the most valuable body of testimony for the agency of thought-transference at a distance is to be found in the experiments recorded by French observers in the induction of sleep
Read record →"One day," to quote Professor Janet ("Note sur quelques Phénomènes de Somnambulisme," Revue Philosophique, Feb
Read record →Of course in experiments of this kind no precautions could exclude the chance that some suggestion of what was expected might reach the percipient's mind through the gestures, the attitude, or even the silence of the experimenter

Read record →In one case the percipient was at Cambridge, a distance of more than fifty miles from Plumstead
Read record →But the kind of evidence now to be considered--the coincidence of some spontaneous affection of the percipient with some event in the life-history of the person presumed to be the agent, as when one sees the apparition of a friend at the time of his death--is
Read record →It is of course not possible with our present knowledge to estimate with any precision the probabilities for the coincidence by chance of such a vision as that recorded by Dr
Read record →A curious instance came under my notice recently
Read record →Another kind of erroneous inference is worth noting
Read record →Of much greater importance than errors of observation or inference are those due to defects either in narration or memory
Read record →We all know these old friends--at a distance, for no one has ever succeeded in making their nearer acquaintance
Read record →But there is risk also of the actual transformation of the experience itself

Read record →540 et seq.)--i.e., if it is restricted to cases where there is a vague memory of some actual dream or other impression, bearing a more or less remote resemblance to the event; in other words, if we assume an illusion rather than a hallucination of memory
Read record →The testimony at first-hand of the actual witnesses, it need hardly be said, is to be desired in any investigation; but in the case of phenomena which are at once stimulating to the imagination, and, as being novel, have no recognised standard of probability b
Read record →But unless it can be used to illustrate or support a theory of a future life, they seldom regard a "ghost story" as having any value other than that derived from the personal environment
Read record →[Footnote 82: In the Times of the 6th January 1893 there appeared a letter from a well-known writer, narrating how in 1851 he had received a description of the sea-serpent from a lady who had watched its movements for some half-hour in a small bay on the coast

Read record →e of a sensation of pain to a waking percipient.[86] Impressions of the kind, indeed, unless more definite and intense than the analogy of experiment gives us warrant for anticipating, would as a rule be quickly forgotten, or would be naturally ascribed to som
Read record →When we leave these simple modes of feeling, and consider the affections of the higher senses of hearing and sight, we are confronted with a new problem
Read record →There is one kind of coincidence, so common as to have passed into a proverb, which is often referred to as illustrating the action of telepathy; that is, the idea of a person coming into the mind shortly before the person himself actually approaches
Read record →Of course, impressions of this sort, with no definite content, and not recognised at the time as having reference to any particular person, can do little to strengthen the proof of telepathy
