Below is another news article about Beulah Miller:
A long article on the psychic powers of Beulah Miller is found in the "Girl of Two Worlds" article on page 110 of the periodical here. Below are some excerpts:
" In a recent interview Miss Bailey said to the writer:...'Beulah turned her back to me and described books which I picked up, and correctly named other objects I held in my hand. She also stated words I wrote on the blackboard. I’m positive that no information was conveyed to the child by the mother through the ordinary channels of communication.'
My next call was on Dr. Henry W. Hopkins, who was called by Mrs. Miller during the absence of her regular physician. 'I had heard that Beulah could see and describe objects apparently invisible to normal vision,' Dr. Hopkins told me, 'and concealing a small pencil in my hand. I asked the little girl if she could tell what I was holding. Beulah raised her eyes to the ceiling. ‘P-e-nc-i-1' she said after a few seconds thought, spelling the word slowly, letter by letter. ' I wonder if you can tell me the number of my car?' I then asked, and again in the same slow, methodical way she spelled it—‘One-six-seven-three-R-one' which was correct. She then gave me correctly the number of my other car, then in my garage—‘One-five-eight-one-R-one.' "
