Last night I had a dream that ended with a teacher telling me, "Call Laura Edmonds." I recognized the name after waking up. Laura Edmonds (the daughter of John W. Edmonds) was a medium, one of the most astonishing figures in the history of the anomalous.

In Volume 2 of the 1855 work Spiritualism by Judge John W. Edmonds (who served as Chief Justice of the New York State Supreme Court), we have a remarkable account of a psychic who is not named. Edmonds says he will give "a brief account of one medium whose whole progress I have witnessed with intense interest." 

First we are told the woman developed powers of clairvoyance. We hear a reference to the sea disaster in which more than 300 people on the SS Arctic died in 1854:

"Since then this faculty of knowing things at a distance has greatly improved. She saw the wreck of the Arctic when it was occurring. She saw and detailed with great accuracy, as subsequent accounts showed, the recent collision on the Canada Railroad, and that a few moments after it happened, and while the dead and wounded were being lifted out of the ruins. She has seen and described the state of things at Sebastopol and its vicinity, and she has frequently described scenes and conversations going on at the moment, at the distance of several hundred miles from her ; and all this, not when she was in a trance, but in a state of mental consciousness to all around her."

The account gets even stranger when we are told that the woman could speak in languages she never learned:

"She next became developed to speak different languages. She knows no language but her own, and a little smattering of boarding-school French. Yet she has spoken in nine or ten different tongues, sometimes for an hour at a time, with the ease and fluency of a native. It is not unfrequent that foreigners converse with their spirit-friends through her in their own language. A recent instance occurred where a Greek gentleman had several interviews, and for several hours at a time carried on the conversation on his part in Greek, and received his answers sometimes in that language and sometimes in English ; yet until then she had never heard a word of modern Greek spoken. About the same time her musical powers became developed. She has repeatedly sang in foreign languages, such as Italian, In- dian, German, and Polish."

On the same page we get this remarkable claim:

"Her next advance was to see spirits and spiritual scenes, and now scarcely a day passes that she does not describe the spirits who are present, entire strangers to her, yet very readily recognized and identified by their inquiring friends. This has of late been witnessed by very many persons, and many an, unbeliever in spiritual intercourse has been overwhelmed with the evidence of identity which thus by sight and by communion has been presented."

On this page of a book by another author, we read that this woman was a  daughter of Judge Edmonds: Laura Edmonds.

"Miss  Laura  Edmonds,  a  daughter  of  the  Judge,  also  pursued  her researches  in  the  same  direction,  and  became  developed  as  an  excellent medium  for  trance  speaking,  the  discerning  of  spirits,  the  gift  of  tongues, including  several  dead  and  living  languages  utterly  unknown  to  herself,  the ability  to  travel  clairvoyantly  to  distant  places,  and  communicate  with  absent friends  by  the  mental  telegraph."

How strange that last night I had a dream telling me to "call Laura Edmonds," when Laura Edmonds was a figure reported to have such astonishing powers of contacting the dead. Just after having the dream, I went into my bathroom, where I again saw something very spooky I have seen about 12 times in the past year. 

Below we see the electrical outlet in the bathroom next to where I sleep. It is a modern-type GFCI outlet that normally shows a green light, except when the circuit is broken. The outlet is about 13 inches above the bathroom's toilet, which is an inch away from the wall containing the outlet. When I go the bathroom in the middle of the night, I see the green light very clearly, because it is the only light source in the bathroom. I don't turn on the regular light in the bathroom when I use the bathroom in the middle of the night, because I have heard that turning on a full light in the middle of the night will make it more difficult for you to fall back to sleep. 

Just after awaking from the dream about the late medium Laura Edmonds, I saw the green light above mysteriously turn off and then turn back on about two seconds later. I have seen this happen about 12 times during the year I have lived at my current location.
