mpbell, whose case--one of experimental thought transference--has
been twice referred to, was an intimate friend of Miss Despard, who
effected the transfers. Her case differs from his; he expected nothing
(at least consciously), and perceived nothing except ugly sounds, until
he got a feeling that some one was glad that he left, and that he himself
would not like to pass another night there. Perhaps this last feeling was
a deceptive transfer; they did not like the stout priest bluffing them.
Later he was willing to go to the house at B---- again.

Miss Campbell got a word, imperfect perhaps, but a better-developed
effort developed better results. It is worth remarking that in another
experimental transfer of thought, where the percipient was not warned,
when Mr. Godfrey's apparition was seen by a lady friend, she heard a
curious sound like birds in the ivy. It is by no means unlikely that
this was the result of his first trying to attract her attention.[7]

The eye impression moving to the ear in a new and strange way, there is
perhaps a stirring and dragging of the cartilages.

That Mr. Godfrey's friend appeared in response and spoke to him, and
referred back to some joint conversation, is curious.

It must be said here that the speech coming from within is extremely
indicative of a real transferred or hypnotic speech, and its coming from
within facilitates surprise where it is used fraudulently or criminally.
A certain amount of collateral trickery would enhance this. It is easily
confounded with the victim's own thoughts.

The appearance of a person to another does not seem to be as difficult as
the causing another person to appear to a third person. In this case the
second person should apparently be hypnotised, and willed to appear to
the third. The third person must know the second person.[8]

The apparition to Miss Ducane is interesting, and it is a pity it could
not be recognised.[9] It was seen in the mirror by her sisters, with one
exception; but she (Miss Ducane) and the other young ladies all felt the
cold air.

Miss Freer, who saw the shadows of a figure on the wall first, and then
the figure itself, must have been more scientifically operated on, but an
apparition to several young ladies is harder to bring about. The original
