I perfectly remember my husband telling me, on his return home from the service at the Sanatorium Chapel, of the touch and voice, and saying he felt sure William was dead. He did not hear of his death till the next morning. '' M. Newnham. [Mr. Newnham seems to have a slight predisposition to subjective iUi*^ ^ auditory phantasms, but has never experienced a similar vivid hallucina- ,,^(.£1:^ tion of touch.] .i-«*it.*^*6 This can hardly be regarded as a subjective experience due to W**^ Uanxiety. Mr. Newnham had, no doubt, a certain emotional interest cv^-Vu in the young man who died, and was aware of his critical condition. ^ But if his hallucination had been a purely subjective one, caused by the latent emotional idea, one would certainly have expected that it would have taken a form suggestive of William ; whereas Mr. Newnham actually connected it at first with a different person. So that the non-recognition in this case tends to increase the probability of the telepathic explanation (c/. case 282 above).

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. Witnesses signed their statements and were often corroborated by others, whose statements appear as their own accounts. The book is in the public domain; the text is verbatim save for scanning artifacts, and the full volumes are at archive.org.
