Página 74 - I have known a mahogany chair thrown on its side, and moved swiftly back and forth on the floor, no one touching it, through a room where there were at least a dozen people sitting, yet no one was touched, and it was repeatedly stopped within a few inches of me, when it was coming with a violence which, if not arrested, must have broken my legs.
Página 76 - But all this, and much, very much more of a cognate nature, went to show me that there was a high order of intelligence involved in this new phenomenon — an intelligence outside of, and beyond, mere mortal agency; for there was no other hypothesis which I could devise or hear of, that could at all explain that, whose reality is established by the testimony of tens of thousands, and can easily be ascertained by any one who will take the trouble to inquire. "If these two points were...
Página 75 - I have once and again been admonished that my every thought was known to, and could be disclosed by, the intelligence which was thus manifesting itself.
