m one to the other; she says, "You know
I as often hear the name of the object as see the thing itself." This may
have been from a mental effort to receive distinctly an inefficiently
acute impression of her friend's. She saw a jug seen by her friend, and
heard the train she heard. The colour of the jug differed a little. The
distance fourteen miles. Audible speech might thus be helped by
despatching a picture of the idea from a distance. Other people must
be like Miss Campbell.[1] There must be material force in this, since a
thought heightens the temperature of the brain. But this force has its
limits of distance, &c.

To connect apparitions with hypnotism.

In their case, and in so-called spiritual experiences (spiritistic is the
better word), there is generally a preceding feeling like entering an
icehouse.[2] This is described as occurring to the butler of the Haunted
House at B----, Harold Sanders, in 1896; to Mr. "Endell," and to others.
This chill is surely identical with, or very closely related to, the
chill of hypnotism mentioned by Binet and Fere.[3] The balance of the
circulation has been interfered with. They state that this is the only
symptom by which any one can tell he has been hypnotised, and that this
is not always present.

[Footnote 2: "Alleged Haunting," &c., pp. 50, 139.]

[Footnote 3: "Animal Magnetism," chap. xiv.]

In continuous slight hypnotism, chills on part of the scalp, part of the
shoulder, part of the face, or the ribs, etc., may be experienced; they
are possibly signs of slackening hypnotic power.

There is another symptom, hyperaesthesia of the eye, which Binet and Fere
omit; this is extremely rare among men, and with women results from local
affection. The symptom probably appears in hypnotic cases from the
cutaneous lesser sciatic nerve, which is connected with the nerves of the
sexual system, being affected.

The chill and the hyperaesthesia of the eyes can be so severe that a
doctor or an oculist would be consulted.

The feeling of gravel in the eye is probably produced by light falling
through chinks on the eye when hyperaesthetic during sleep--the lids may
be slightly tightened, as it were; this is perhaps a nearer approach to a
profounder hypnotism.

"During actual hypnosis," says Mr. Harry Vincent, "frequently the
contraction of the muscles is so obvious that the subject appears to be
indulging in a grim smile."[4]
