“Research in these matters is of special concern for a Christian, because metapsychic phenomena have often been lumped together with Christian miracles by those who have studied them.”
“Such a development would be a metapsychic phenomenon. On my asking Stella for the name of one of the women who tended my infancy, she replied, “Melanie.” I was not thinking of Melanie, and I am most positively sure that this name [...] has never been uttered by me.
