836. Her alleged reincarnations.

837. The Martian language.

838. Reversion to previous epochs of life.

839. Possible sport of spirits.

840. Mlle. Smith's "teleological" automatisms.

841. Indications of supernormal faculty.

842. Possible telepathy from the dead. The Chessenaz case.

843. We now pass on to cases of phenomena much more clearly supernormal. Telepathy obtained through table-tilting. Cases of: 843 A. Professor Richet. 843 B. Mr. G. M. Smith.

844. I give next cases of automatic writing, the first of which (Mrs. Moberley's) shows indications of telepathy.

845. Telepathic cases simulating prophecy; e.g., that of Miss Summerbell.

846. Answers to questions written correctly, although not as the agent supraliminally intended; case of Mr. Allbright.

847. Another telepathic case, involving the agent's subliminal thoughts.- Mr. Riddell.

848. Our most striking case is a long series of telepathic communications between Mr. and Mrs. Newnham.

849. Mrs. Newnham writes automatically answers to unspoken questions by Mr. Newnham. 849 A. Case of Mrs. Newnham.

850. A similar but shorter series is given in the next Appendix. 850 A. Case of Mr. Buttemer.

851. The next case shows occasional telepathy, mingled with fragments of apparent clairvoyance and premonition. 851 A. Case of Lady Mabel Howard.

852. A case of communication through table-tilting from a distant agent.- Mrs. Kirby. 852 A. Case of M. Auguez; - prediction of death. 852 B. Signor Bonatti's automatic writing; telepathy from a distant living agent.

853. Transitional cases; - information purporting to come from deceased persons, but more probably derived telepathically from the living; case of Mr. Lewis.

854. Message purporting to come from a deceased person who was found to be living; case of Mr. Long.

855. Case of automatic writing reproducing experimentally the thoughts of the persons present.

856. Statement through table-tilting of incident occurring at the time in a neighbouring house. - Professor Alexander's case.

857. Telepathy may produce erroneous statements through the agent's thoughts being reproduced as matters of fact. 857 A. Case of Professor H.

858. Dr. Ermacora's experiments with a sensitive, - Maria Manzini. 858 A. Her automatic writing gives the contents of a letter which reached her next morning.

859. The information may be derived from discarnate spirits - though not necessarily from those alleged in the communications. The communicators may deliberately veil their identity, and may also have access to sources of knowledge remote even to themselves. 859 A. These problems are exemplified in the automatic writings of Miss A.

860. In these and other retrocognitive cases, it is difficult to decide between the hypotheses of "cryptomnesia" and spirit-control.

861. Mr. Wedgwood's experiments with Mrs. R.; - case of communications purporting to come from Colonel Gurwood (who died in 1845).

862. Another retrocognitive case of the same kind through Mrs. R., namely:- 862 A. The "David Brainerd" case.

863. But retrocognitive messages referring to matters easily accessible in print (e.g. Mr. Moses' case of musical composers, giving dates of their lives), even if genuine, may be attributed to clairvoyance on the part of the automatist 864. A resemblance of the handwriting to that of the deceased person is sometimes alleged, but must be received with caution. 864 A. Professor Rossi-Pagnoni's experiments at Pesaro.

865. Another case of alleged resemblances of handwriting, which also illustrates the spontaneous recurrence of the same problems with automatists of many different types, namely:- 865 A. Case of Mrs. Underwood.

866. Cases where the writing announces a death unknown to the persons present; - instance reported by Dr. Liebeault.

867. In another case, partially correct details about the death are added. 867 A. Case of Mdlle. Stramm.

868. Sometimes telekinetic phenomena seem to be associated with the announcement of a death. 868 A. The Pereliguine case. 868 B. Case of Mr. F. Hodgson. 868 C. Ref. to "Woodd knockings".

869. Cases where correct details unknown to the automatist are given regarding a death which is known to him. 869 A. Case of Mrs. Fitzgerald. 869 B. The Skrytnikoff case.

870. A communication corresponding, not to the knowledge of the sitters, but to what was known to the alleged communicator before death. 870 A. Case of Signor Cavalli.

871. Automatic writing by a child, showing faculties superior to those she normally possessed, with some writing in languages unknown to her. 871 A. Mr. Junor Browne's case.

872. Writing by a young child who had no knowledge of her letters. 872 A. Mr. Hempstead's case.

873. A series of writings by Mr. W., with indications of subliminal telaes-thesia, and telepathy both from the living and from the dead. 873 A. Another experience of Mr. W.'s.

874. A prediction given through table-tilting of the precise date of a death. 874 A. Dr. Suddick's case.

875. Example pointing to continued terrene knowledge on the part of a deceased person; case of Mrs. von Wieseler.

876. A test message planned before death and communicated afterwards; case of Mrs. Finney. 876 A. Case of Prince Emile Wittgenstein; message about missing will. 876 B. Dr. Knorr's case: message about missing note.

877. Desirability of planning beforehand communications to be made after death as a test of personal identity. 877 A. Note on posthumous letters.

878. The evidence as to motor phenomena here set forth confirms and extends the conceptions to which the cognate sensory phenomena pointed; - the expansion of normal leading on to the development of supernormal faculties. The motor phenomena suggest more strongly than the sensory the hypothesis of "psychical invasion," which, if sufficiently prolonged, becomes a persistent "control" or "possession".

879. When the subliminal self is affected by a telepathic impact which works itself out by automatic movements, it becomes a question whether the movements are executed by the subliminal self or by the external agent.

880. This leads us on to the problem to be discussed in the next chapter; - in what ways may two spirits co-operate in the possession and control of the same organism?
