EXPERIMENTS AT A DISTANCE 



In order to ascertain whether distance was any obstacle to telepathy, two ladies, members of the Society for 

 Psychical Research, who knew that they were often in telepathic rapport, decided to keep a record of what one 

 perceived and what the other saw, at a certain time each day, when they were some hundreds of miles apart, their 

 descriptions being sent to the office of the Society there to be compared. Seldom was it a scene consciously at- 

 tended to and "willed " that was thus transferred, but constantly some other scene from the immediate neighbour- 

 hood of the one was transferred to the other. 



The illustration below and that on the following page must serve here as a sample of a large number of recorded 

 observations.

AT MALMESBURY IN 



The Percipient, Miss Ramsden, had never been. to Malmesbury, and was at the time in 

 Scotland when she drew and described what she thought was in Miss Miles's neighbourhood ^^*. 



as follows: "A waterfall; it looks artificial because it is very broad and regular and not r^\' 

 more than two or three feet high ; it might be a millstream. Then I begin to see a house 

 a farmhouse? with a very tall poplar near it. There is rising ground not to be called 

 hills and young plantations." Then she drew this diagram.
