Death and its Mystery, At the Moment of Death; Manifestations and Apparitions of the Dying – Camille Flammarion

One day, at the Saltpetre Hospiatl in 1889, I made some experiments, together with Charcot.  he asked me to take up a pack of white cards, to choose one of them, to imagine that my portrait was upon it and to show this portrait to a certain nervous invalid.

I then made a mark upon the back of the card that the hypnotised woman did not see. 

I shuffled the cards and held them before her without turning them around and asked her to try to find my portrait upon them.

She succeeded at once; this struck me as amazing enough.

She said she wished to take this white card to her room and keep it as a souvenir, postively seeing my portrait upon it.

The hynotist was there it is true.

But after all, the authenticity of the hallucination was incontestable
