A description of the experience
The Seeress of Prevorst [translated by Catherine Crowe]
When a person with a disease approached her, she immediately became conscious of his disease and also felt his actual sensations before the person could describe them to her. She was also aware of the mental condition of each person who visited her. She said she was aware of a person’s physical condition with her body and his mental condition with her soul.
Eschenmayer validates this claim by saying that not only he himself but also numerous other witnesses could testify to this fact; "For she accurately divined my whole bodily condition, as well as that of a friend-and this, by only the contact of the hand."
