Case No.220 - Miss Nora Pennington, of Hounslow, Middlesex, sent the following to the writer (in litt.):

 I was a heavy sleeper. My mother had poor health, but she was able to wake me in the morning in time to go to the office. This she did up to within a short time of her passing. ... Then I suffered through lack of sleep until a friend fixed up a non-stop alarm clock on the wall-in such a position that I had to get out of bed to stop it by raising a switch. I used to jump to it,  so that the folks next door should not be disturbed by its incessant ringing.

One morning, on hearing it, I went to it (as I thought) but I could not lift the switch-my fingers went through it. Worried on account of my neighbours, I placed my fingers between the hammer and the bell, but the hammer continued to hit the bell through my fingers. I then felt myself 'shoot' into my body through the top of my head with a very slight jerk. The jerk was such as one sometimes feels when going down a lift. I opened my eyes to find myself in a very comfortable position in bed."

Miss Pennington added, "I am not one of those gullible people with a lively imagination-very much the opposite. Such experiences may be quite commonplace-I do not know."
