the
title 'The Third Arm of
the Medium.”
He
wrote:
"It
was at Rome, 21 years ago, that
I had
a seance
with
that
famous
medium,
Eusapia
Palladino.
At
that
seance,
a
married couple was also present
Eusapia
told us
that she
would
try
to
levitate
the
table without using
her
muscles.
All
of
us
stood
around
the
table,
holding
each
other’s
hands which were placed on
the
table.
Eusapia
stood
at
one of the short ends of the table.
I squatted on the floor
on her right
side.
I put my
left hand around her
legs.
I
raised
her
skirt,
so
that
I
could
see
the two
legs
of
the
table
nearest
to me.
This made
it
impossible
for anyone
to
place
his
foot
under
the
table-leg
and
lift
the
table.
With my
right
hand
I
got
hold
of
Eusapia’s
right
hand.
This hand
was
also
held
by
Mrs.
P.
Mr.
P
was
holding
Eusapia's
left
hand.
There
was
not
much
light
in
the
room,
but
it was
sufficient
to
distinguish
the
various
ob-
jects
in
the room.
After waiting some time the table sud-
denly
began
to
move.
The
table
moved
for
a
few
mo-
ments
to
the
left and
to the
right, and
then suddenly
left
the
floor and
floated about
15 cm above
it.
This
lasted a
few minutes and then
it dropped
to the
floor
with
a
loud
bang.
When
the
table
started
to move
about
I
suddenly
saw
that
Eusapia’s
right hand became
indistinct
Then
it
seemed
as
if
a whole
series
of
arms,
one arm
above
the
other, were
visible for a short
time.
The
levitation of the
table
too
was
of
short
duration.
Those
present
at
the
seance were
very pleased
with what they
had
seen.
This
made them
urge
the medium
to
repeat
the
phenomenon.
The
medium
guessed
correctly
what
he
wanted
to
see
again,
for
she
said:
’You
want
to
sec my
astral
double,
don’t you?"
"The
phenomena
were
again
observed
and
were
a
great
deal
better
than
those
in
the
beginning.
Out
of
Eusapia s
left
thigh,
just
in
front
of
his
head,
projected
a
straight
black
spoke
which
looked
like
a
long
thin
arm.
That arm ended
in a
broader
piece
that
got
hold
of
the
right
table-leg.
All the time
that
I saw
this ghostly
thing,
the
table remained
levitated.
The phenomenon
was
only
visible
during
a
short
time,
but
long enough
to
give me*
the certainty that
I was not having
a hallucination."

Before he read Dunnis book, Kooy
himself had
had
dreams of this kind.
Frorcfljthe very beginning Kooy wrote

Voice.
His dreams
forced Kooy
to accept the

as ofJhe same
nature
as
the

and
that
time
was

Paranormal phenomena

Paranormal
phenomena
were
already
known
in
Iceland
in 900 A.D, and many cases were described in the
Island’s Sagas and
in
the book, Landnamabok.
In the
lat-
ter such
cases are described
in
detail, and the place where
they
occur
is
also
mentioned.
This book was
written
in
the
13th century.
From the very beginning, parapsychologi-
cal
phenomena
were
cited
in
the
Icelandic
literature.
These phenomena were mostly spread among
the
Icelandic
population. Not everybody, however,
possesses
this paranor-
mal
gift.
Why
this
is
the
case,
is
still
unknown.
