besides myself, the following
In about five minutes after the circle was formed I began
to feel distinct touches from some object resembling a
human hand. These touches were first felt on the knee,
then on the arm, and at last on the forehead. After I had
felt a hand laid on my forehead five or six times, I sud-
denly reached forth to see if I could clutch it. I caught
hold of an object resembling the wrist of a person. As
soon as I had fairly clasped it, I was drawn from my chair
across the room for eight or ten feet. Meanwhile I was
holding on with all my strength, and the object which I
held on to was making much effort, apparently, by wring-
ing or twisting the arm and hand, to release itself from
my persisting grasp. When it touched my forehead I
could distinctly feel the fingers and even the very nails
upon them. The hand felt to be smoother and even less
moist than a human hand ; in fact no Parian marble could
be polished to such perfect smoothness. I also held a
closed fan up as high as I could reach, and it was taken
from me, though no person was within several feet of me
at the time, and I was fanned for nearly a minute, and so
were the others in the circle, each one in turn. My shoe
was taken off my right foot and thrown across the room,
and the bottom of my foot was tickled excessively. My
porte-monnaie was taken from my pocket, the bank notes
removed from it, and laid around on the heads of the
members of the circle. They were then replaced from
whence they were taken, and the porte-monnaie returned
to me. Indeed it was slipped back into the pocket of my
pant, opposite to the one out of which it was first removed,
it being the furthest off from those who were sitting with
me in the circle.—New York Spiritual Telegraph.
