A Spooky Yuletide

A few minutes ago I was just reading up on the case of Luiz Antonio Gasparetto (1949-2018), a man who would go into trances and produce artworks in the style of great artists such as van Gogh, Manet and Renoir. You can read about him and see some of his art using the link here. Reading about the case, I decided to add a new entry to my long post "120+ Types of Paranormal  or Anomalous Experiences," which you can read here. So I added a line in my classification scheme, typing this line:

11.19 Mediumistic Painting and Drawing 

The word "mediumistic" refers to mediums, persons thought to be able to make contact with the spirits of the dead. 

Just after typing this line, my PlayStation machine mysteriously turned on. When this happens, I cannot fail to notice it, because the machine stops whatever TV show  I am watching, and takes over the TV set, making it look like this:

When this happened, I was alone in the room and sitting on a couch (two meters away from the PlayStation machine); my hands were busy typing; and the TV remote was an arm's length away. The only way to turn on the PlayStation from the couch is to get up and touch a button on the machine, or to use some combination of presses on the TV remote that requires pressing two different buttons.  So the turning on of the PlayStation machine was mysterious and inexplicable. I have seen the PlayStation mysteriously turning on by itself at least seven times in the past three years.. The synchronicity in today's case is interesting, with it occurring a few seconds after I typed a word ("mediumistic") referring to communication with the dead. 

Last night I had a vivid dream that I was demonstrating to someone some mind-over-matter powers. There was an element in the dream that may have symbolized the words "when die."  Could the dream have symbolized that the dead have mind-over-matter powers, and the ability to make physical manifestations in our world?

In the nineteenth century a huge host of witnesses reported during seances mysterious inexplicable movements and levitation of objects, including chairs, heavy tables and musical instruments. To read up about such reports, read my "Spookiest Years" series of posts here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,  here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Such witnesses were very often very good about promptly publishing detailed signed statements testifying to exactly what they had very recently seen, with the signed statements often including the names of several witnesses.
