Podmore, Frank
Apparitions; Telepathy
5 E. G. & M. E. Worcestershire sauce "Worcestershire sauce."
6 M. G. R. Do. "Vinegar."
7 E. G. & M. E. Port wine "Between eau de Cologne and
beer."
8 M. G. R. Do. "Raspberry vinegar."
9 E. G. & M. E. Bitter aloes "Horrible and bitter."
10 M. G. R. Alum "A taste of ink--of
iron--of vinegar. I feel
it on my lips--it is as
if I had been eating
alum."
11 M. G. E. Alum (E. perceived that M. G.
was as not tasting bitter
aloes, E. G. and M.
supposed, but something
different. No distinct
perception on account of
the persistence of the
bitter taste.)
EXPT. TASTER. PERCIPIENT. SUBSTANCE. ANSWERS GIVEN.
12 E. G. & M. E. Nutmeg "Peppermint--no--what you
put in puddings--nutmeg."
13 M. G. R. Do. "Nutmeg."
14 E. G. & M. R. Sugar Nothing perceived.
15 M. G. R. Do. Nothing perceived.
(Sugar should be tried at an
earlier stage in the series,
as, after the aloes, we
could scarcely taste it
ourselves.)
16 E. G. & M. E. Cayenne pepper "Mustard."
17 M. G. R. Do. "Cayenne pepper."
(After the cayenne we were
unable to taste anything
further that evening.)
Throughout the next series of experiments the substances were kept
outside the room in which the percipients were seated.
