Arthur Young, inventor of the helicopter rotor, was trying to come to terms with a
helicopter accident which had killed both the pilot and co-pilot. Driven by guilt, he had
searched in vain for some technical fault. Eventually, he brought a piece of the
helicopter blade to the famous medium Eileen Garrett, who handled it while attempting a
psychometric vision of the past incident. She said that the accident had not been due to a
technical failure, but to the pilot himself, who at the time had been on the verge of a
nervous breakdown. She added that he had just decided on some radical life-changes - to go
join a monastery. Young did not wish to interrogate the mourning family, but a year later
he went to see the head of the agency which had hired the pilot. This man admitted that
the pilot had indeed been on the verge of a nervous breakdown and was about to enter a
monastery.
The Case of Liliane
The use of psychics for "detective work" is one of the most widespread forms of
psi applications. Gerard Croiset, the famous Dutch psychic, owes much of his reputation to
the many cases in which he collaborated with police to locate missing persons. In France,
Raymond Reant (also known as a gifted healer) has been involved in a number of attempts to
locate missing persons. As an example, here are some excerpts from a case which was
followed up and corroborated by the Institut Metapsychique International of Paris. |
