“I took a note in writing of this statement at the time it was made. A
few minutes later I left Mr. and Mrs. Loomis, and without telling them
my intention to do so, went straight to the house of Mrs. Gregory about
a mile and a half off. I had selected Mrs. Gregory for this experiment
because she is not afraid to publish her name in connection with
psychic truths, and her word carries weight, especially in Scotland,
where she and her family are well-known. She is the widow of Professor
Gregory, of Edinburgh University, and is a lineal descendant of the
Lord of the Isles. I then for the first time told Mrs. Gregory of the
experiment. She replied that between half-past eight and nine o’clock
that evening she was playing the piano, and suddenly turned round to
her friend, Miss Yauewicz, of Upper Norwood, saying, ‘I don’t know what
is the matter with me, I feel quite stupid, and have such a pain in
my right arm that I cannot go on playing.’ Miss Yauewicz, who was no
believer in spiritualism or any of the marvels of psychology, felt a
lively interest when she was informed of the experiment. She told me
that she clearly remembered Mrs. Gregory’s statement that she could not
go on playing because of the pain in her right arm.”[C]
Mrs. Loomis was a remarkable clairvoyante, whom I accidently became
acquainted with in Liverpool many years ago, shortly after her arrival
from America. I introduced the lady and her husband, Mr. Daniel Loomis,
to Mr. Harrison, then editor of _The Spiritualist_. The Guion steamer,
_Idaho_, in which they came from New York, was wrecked off the Irish
Coast, and all they possessed in this world was lost with the vessel.
Mrs. Loomis predicted the disaster, where it was likely to take place;
that all hands would be saved, but all they had lost. Upon the arrival
of the officers of the vessel in Liverpool, they presented Mrs. Loomis,
at the Bee Hotel, John Street, Liverpool, with a basket of flowers,
purse, and testimonial, in recognition of her gift, and heroic conduct
during and after the disaster. I may add I knew Mr. Harrison as a most
careful investigator and a man of scientific tastes and ability.
I select the following case of a mesmeric sensitive controlled by
a disembodied spirit, from the writings of Mr. Epes Sargent, author
of “Planchette on the Despair of Science,” etc., as appropriately
illustrative of this form of clairvoyance:--
