wearing the same clothes. The woman in the dark suit was of identical build
as I saw, and she inadvertently "sat" in the chair "reserved" for me. This had
taken place later in the evening, after eleven-thirty, when the stance had
been long over, and the four were sitting around talking. The tall woman had
jumped up out of "my" chair when the rest called out, "do not sit on Bob!" They
laughed at the joke. One of the other women had worn a long white
housecoat. The words about my remembering were not spoken orally (that
supermind com-munication again?), but one of the women had stated she
was working at Cancer Memorial Hospital the following day. I had met the
other two women previously, Mrs. M. and R.G., but the two herein described
were then strangers to me. Four women, the clothes of two, the build of one,
the sitting in the chair, the sitting on top of me and jumping up, the laughter,
the small room, the "cancer" reference—that's too much coincidence even for
me, and beyond my ability to hallucinate that properly. I'm convinced.
But the two men. Does Mrs. M. truly communicate with her dead husband
and an Indian? I did not know until afterward that he had been a blond! I must
be less of a skeptic and more open-minded with Mrs. M.
In the visit to the apartment, time coincides with the physical event.
Autosuggestion hallucination, indeterminate, as idea of trip may have been
retained unconsciously, although no conscious attempt was made. Identical
reports with conditions of actual events:
(1) Size of room.
(2) Number of women present, four.
(3) Empty chair.
(4) Apparel of two women.
(5) "Cancer" mention.
(6) Action of woman sitting in chair.
(7) Laughter attitude of group.
Possibility of unconscious preknowledge through earlier observation of the
above:
(1) Negative, no previous visits or descriptions of apartment.
(2) Indeterminate, R.G. may have revealed number of people to be present.
