Note 31 — Chapter VI · SOME RECENTLY OBSERVED PSYCHICAL PHENOMENA (continued 2)
L. I. (Laura I.) Finch translation
‘Since the above was written, Dr. George L.’s son, Olivier, a youth of nineteen, has been killed in a railway accident (see p. 234). Notwithstanding the errors, there is a certain interest in the fact that the rapping force seemed to sense some near tragic occurrence to some member of the family. The raps first of all gave the surname L. of the person destined to die shortly; it was only after much hesitation that the name of George was given. The raps at first refused to give the date, but, after much pressing, dictated March 1904.
‘Professor Richet did not tell any one that Madame X. had already predicted the early death “of one of the sons.”’—Note by Dr. X.
