Original Drawings Significant of Light
1929
18. Feb. ?. O: Electric light bulb—R: Drawing and script very suggestive; but nothing about light.
19. Feb. 10. O: Electric light bulb—R: Two drawings somewhat like O in shape; nothing about light.
20. Feb. 11. O: Sun—R: “Setting sun and bird in sky.”
21. Feb. 15. O: Sun over hills—R: Sun over a “body.” (See Figs. 93, 93a.)
This is a very noteworthy exhibit. In idea, shape or both, all the 21 reproductions show marked correspondences, with 3 exceptions only, one of which is doubtfully an anticipation of an original in the same group, and another very possibly connected by an interior association of ideas.
Originals Representing Forms of Animal Life
In some cases, after the agent had drawn an animal, a bird, or some other creature possessing animal life, the percipient’s drawing was successful, partly successful or at least suggestive in shape; in many instances it was a flat failure. But as examination proceeded it began to appear that a number of the failures represented some other form of the animal kingdom, however diverse. A careful canvass was made, including the material in hand produced subsequent to that in the Sinclair book, embracing in all 388 experiments; drawings of human beings, animals, birds, fishes, insects, and parts of bodies, as a hand or a leg, were included.
The Agent drew 103 such out of 388.
