Vision without action is merely a dream. But what about dreams that you have at night where you visualize the
future and prompts you to act in a particular manner? There are dreams which have helped resolve murder
cases, discover hidden objects or even make scientific inventions. These dreams commonly known as
clairvoyance are visions of the future which a person is supposedly able to see. Though the authenticity of
these incidents are often in doubt, mass evidence points out that such cases do happen taking into account our
mental abilities.
The Red Barn murder case was solved in the same way. Way back in 1827, Maria Martin ran away with William
Corder from her village in Suffolk, England. But later months later, William got into another affair. It was then
that he decided to murder Maria and buried her under the floor of a barn. He then wrote to inform her parents
that she was fine and keeping well. However, a year later, Maria’s mother had a bad dream in which she
visualized the murder and the secret burial of her daughter so vividly. They then launched investigations only to
discover the decomposed body of their beloved daughter stuffed in a sack under the floor of the barn. William
Corder was arrestedand sentenced to death.
Another case of clairvoyance helped find the body of Bertha Huse. Having left home on October 31, 1898, she
was found drowned in a lake near her home. Here. It was Mrs. Titus who resided a distance of four miles away
who had the ability of clairvoyance. Even after the diver had abandoned the search for Huse’s body, Mrs. Titus
still kept calling the diver and even suggested a particular spot where she said he would find her body ‘head
down in the mud, one foot sticking up and a new rubber on it’. The diver on retrieving the body confessed that
he was not at all afraid of the corpse but of the lady who as standing on the bridge and giving him instructions
on what should be done.
When the renowned English poet Dante died, his friends and family members searched for the last part of his
most famous work, The Divine Comedy. As their pursuits continued to yield no results, they thought that he might
not have completed the work and his sons decided to complete the same. But one night, one of Dante’s
son’s, Jacopo had a dream. In that dream, his father took him by the hand, led him to the house, touched one of
the walls in a room and told him that the 13 cantos of the Divine Commedia were there. When they searched,
they found a mat on the wall indicated by the apparition in the dream. Lifting the mat, they found a window
above where all the missing cantos of the Divine Comedy lay in the damp.
Clairvoyance like telepathy and Out of Body Experiences does not have much scientific proof to establish their
identity in this bizarre world. But psychologists do not rule out their existence. This is for the simple reason that
the cases which have been experienced by other people have influenced a great number of people. The power of unconsciousness, which still eludes psychologists, might just be able toexplain these
mysterious events
