Note {193a} — APPARITIONS, GHOSTS, AND HALLUCINATIONS.

The writer knows a case in which a gentleman, who had gone to bed about eleven p.m., in Scotland, was roused by hearing his own name loudly called. He searched his room in vain. His brother died suddenly, at the hour when he heard the voice, in Canada. But the difference of time proves that the voice was heard several hours before the death. Here, then, is a chance coincidence, which looked very like a case of Telepathy. Another will be found in Mr. Dale Owen’s Debatable Land, p. 364. A gentleman died ‘after breakfast’ in Rhenish Prussia, and appeared, before noon, in New York. Thus he appeared hours after he died.
