Clairvoyance; Spiritualism; Telepathy
The young gentleman retired somewhat discomfited, and the excitement
produced by these and other experiments brought crowded houses during
my professional stay.
When my “mesmeric exposition” was concluded, the two medical gentlemen
referred to, were good enough to introduce themselves, and invited me
to call next day to see the room. I accepted the invitation during
the following day and saw how truly correct and vivid her description
had been. In the first experiment the sensitive described the state of
the doctor’s library, pointing out what had not been recollected by
either of the medical men, and I believe the other case comes under the
heading of direct and objective clairvoyance. Dr. Maddever’s house was
about a quarter of a mile, and the other house about a mile and a half
from the hall.
The persistent and reliable clairvoyance evinced by this sensitive
was induced. She was a mesmeric subject, and when such subjects are
properly treated they make the very best clairvoyants.
PSYCHIC VISION POSSESSED BY THE PHYSICALLY BLIND.
Mrs. Croad resided at Redland, Bristol. My attention was called to
her case about fifteen years ago by Dr. J. G. Davey, of Bristol.
Unfortunately circumstances at the time prevented a personal visit and
report. Her psychic gifts and wonderful supersensitivity have been
amply testified to, by most reliable witnesses, such as Dr. Davey, Hy.
G. Atkinson, F.G.S., and others.
Clairvoyance in Mrs. Croad’s case was and is (for I believe the lady is
still living) a singular admixture of subtle sense transference so well
known to mesmerists of the old school, and spontaneous psychic vision.
Thought-transference and indirect clairvoyance, more or less induced,
by intense voluntary concentration.
Mrs. Croad is deaf, dumb, and paralysed, and stone blind. She can
see and hear, read with powers “denied to ordinary mortals,” and
discern pictures and writings in the dark. She is aware of her
daughter’s thoughts when the latter touches her, and becomes at once
acquainted with what her daughter wishes to communicate. She possesses
supersensitivity of touch, and discerns colour by their degrees of
heat, roughness or smoothness. She can also identify photographs and
pictures in the same way. From time to time she has exhibited the
highest phases of clairvoyance. Reports have been made in this case
by medical experts in the _Journal of Psychological Medicine_, and
other magazines and journals several years ago. The most recent was
contributed by the Rev. Taliesin Dans, The Cottage, Claptons, to _The
Review of Reviews_ in January, 1891.
