[Ref. 1608:] "LUMIERES DANS LA NUIT" MAGAZINE:
The magazine reports that the astrophysicist and ufologist Pierre Guerin discovered a case in Yssingeaux in Haute-Loire of 1954.
The witness is a 40 year old woman at the time of the investigation, residing in Paris, psychic who exerts on a professional basis and whose "capacities" were tested by professor Rémy Chauvin who indicated that "her gifts are real, but she can also sometimes be wrong."
When she was aged 10 approximately, a summer in 1954 or about 1954, she was on holiday at her grandparents. After lunch, she had gone out and was in the garden right beside the house. She then saw a large gleam in front of her and lost consciousness.
She recovered consciousness a good hour later in the same property but one kilometer further in the middle of a wheat field, without knowing what had occurred during the past time nor how she could have been transported further.
According to this lady, it is this experience that is at the origin of her gifts of clairvoyance, since as from this day, strange things happened to her: one could not to touch her navel anymore it made her jump and it was unbearable. Then, she started to have psychic powers, which annoyed her much at the beginning when she discovered that she frequently read in the thought of her close relations, noting that they lied and imagining that they also could read in her thoughts.
Put in pension, she was prone to quantity of bizarreries which she could never explain. Balls or bars sometimes danced sometimes in front of her. When she separated from her husband a few years ago, she thought of using her gifts commercially, and took customers. She has refused hypnotic regression because she feared that that could make her loose her powers which became her resource.
