The following case is taken from Camille Flam-marion's book, L'Inconnu et les Problemes Psy-chiques, p. 140:

Mme. A., mother of the person who told me this story, had had in her service for several years a maid to whom she was deeply attached. The woman married and went to make her home upon a farm, rather far from the little town where Mme. A. lived.

One night she awoke suddenly and said to her husband: "Listen! do you hear? Madame is calling me!" But everything was calm and silent and her husband tried to quiet her. After a few moments the poor woman, growing more and more agitated, declared: "I must go to Madame, she is calling me, I am sure that I should go." But her husband, still believing her under the influence of a bad dream laughed at her, and after a short while she grew calm again.

The next day her husband upon going to town learned that Mme. A., taken suddenly ill on the previous evening, had died in the night and while dying had called for her former maid at the very moment when the latter had heard the voice of her mistress.

It would be useless to multiply examples: nevertheless, as one might bring up the easy explanation of an imaginary summons, which by a strange coincidence was found to correspond with reality, we will cite one fact more.

It is found in a series which disposes of this objection. In this case the words which were heard by another at a distance were actually spoken by the agent in the presence of a witness.

The following case is of this kind:

L'lnconnu, XXXIII.

On the 22nd of January, 1893, I was called by telegraph to my aunt, 92 years old, who had been ill for several days. Upon my arrival I found my dear aunt dying and unable to speak. I took my place at her bedside to remain with her to the end. About ten o'clock at night, as I was seated beside her in a chair, I heard her call out with surprising strength: "Lucie! Lucie! Lucie!" I sprang up and saw that my aunt had lost consciousness, and I heard the death-rattle in her throat. Ten minutes later she drew her last breath.

Lucie was another niece and my aunt's godchild who did not come to visit her often enough, as she frequently complained to the nurse.

The next day I said to my cousin Lucie: "You must have been greatly surprised to receive the telegram announcing our aunt's death." But she replied: "Not at all. I was somewhat expecting it. Last night about ten o'clock, when I was sleeping soundly, I was awakened suddenly by having my aunt call me, 'Lucie! Lucie! Lucie!' and I could not sleep for the rest of the night."

This is the fact which I declare to be true, asking you to use only my initials if you publish it, for the city where I live is composed, for the most part, of futile, ignorant, hypocritical people.

P. L. B. (Letter 47.)

Telepathy sometimes affects several centers at once, as sight and hearing. For example, there is the case of Mrs. Richardson, who, when she had an exact apparition of her husband wounded upon the battlefield, also heard and recognized his voice, saying, "Take this ring from my finger and send it to my wife," words which the general had indeed spoken. Richardson was more than 250 kilometers from her.

This is reported in Telepathic Hallucinations, the forty-seventh case, and is surrounded by all the guarantees required in a serious investigation.
