Background
As quoted in Gabriel Delanne - Materials for use in the study of Reincarnation
In all countries there are accounts according to which certain places or localities appear to be haunted; abnormal phenomena occur, such as unexplainable noises, displacement of objects with no known cause, and even apparitions are sometimes reported. Here is a case where the animal has experienced real terror.

As quoted in Gabriel Delanne - Materials for use in the study of Reincarnation
Collective vision, March 2, 1884. - In 1875, my sister and I (we were then thirteen years old) were returning home one summer day, around four in the afternoon, when all of a sudden we saw a shape of a woman floating over a hedge and sliding silently across the road. This shape was white, in an inclined position about ten feet above the ground.
The horse had suddenly stopped and was so frightened that we no longer had any control over it. I exclaimed, addressing my sister, "Do you see that?" She replied that she saw it and asked the same question to Caffruy's son who was in the coach.
This shape crossed the hedge, crossed the road and passed over a field, then we lost sight of it beyond a plantation. I think we watched it for two minutes. It never touched the ground, but always floated a short distance from the ground.
When we arrived home, we told about it. I haven't had any other vision either before or since. All three of us were healthy, the weather was fine and no one had ever suggested to us the idea of an apparition before that one happened.
Later we learned that this road was supposed to be haunted there and that several inhabitants of the region had seen an apparition there.
