This is a witness statement collected in the 1880s by Edmund Gurney, Frederic Myers and Frank Podmore of the Society for Psychical Research, and published in Phantasms of the Living (1886), the first large scientific collection of such testimony.

The book is in the public domain; the text is verbatim save for scanning artifacts, and the full volumes are at archive.org.
