An account

Mrs. Harnett is in delicate health, and I should not like to trouble her. When I spoke to her about it, she remembered the incident. The strength of this narrative, of course, lies in the third case, where the correspondence of day was made out to be exact. The ciw wi^^ hypothesis that the call on this occasion was a real call outside the house, though repudiated by Mrs. Wight, cannot be so confidently rejected by those who realise the difficulty of localising sounds with precision. Still, the fact of her having on other occasions experienced impressions of exactly this form — the commonest of all forms of sensory hallucination — distinctly supports the view that the experi- ''-^ *^ ^ ence was hallucinatory ; and if so, the coincidence of day is a strong -'/^ '-*«^'^ point in favour of the telepathic explanation. I will not pause here ' -y **^ on the fact that in this instance there was a second percipient, as d^o v»-<^-'«- < that topic will be fully discussed in the chapter on Collective sfenii^---^ Cases. f '■ ^^ .
