Friar Herbert Thurston - The Physical Phenomenon of Mysticism

Answering some questions put to her by Dailey on June 15, 1893, Mollie is stated to have replied:

Well, as I have said, my vision is not always the same; much depends upon how I am feeling, and the weather conditions. Sometimes the whole top of my head seems on fire with the influx of light; my range of vision is very great, and my sight astonishingly clear. Then again it seems as if I were seeing through a smoked glass, and my vision, or consciousness of things, is dim and indistinct. Sometimes I can see all through the house. When my aunt was alive it was the most common thing for her to mislay her purse, veil or gloves, and not know where to look for them.

She used to come to me to find them, and I would go rummaging through the house and finally tell her where they were lying. I have the same powers now but not at all times. Were someone to come suddenly and ask me to do such a thing, I might not at the moment be able, but after a little, when not anxious to see, I can see most clearly.
