A description of the experience
A Casebook of Otherworldly Music – D Scott Rogo
Case No. 28 - Harold Dedman
This case, heard as a child, was sent to the author by Mr. Dedman (Herts, Great Britain) on November 12, 1968:
When I was approximately seven or eight years of age, around the years 1922-23, I was occasionally left alone in the house, apart from baby sisters and a brother three years my junior, while my parents visited friends to play cards.
Frequently on these occasions I would hear a wonderful choir, composed, I thought, of mostly female voices. I could never recognize any of the songs or hymns being sung. I was never frightened of this music but looked forward to hearing it. I remember I was curious as to the source of it, as this was before the innovation of radio and none of the adjoining houses had a Gramophone or phonograph.
Sometimes this beautiful singing seemed to fill the room but never did it wake the younger children.
