Tenbridzh Wells
Mrs. Charlotte B. - old age pensioner, who lived with her husband near Tenbridzh Wells, Kent, England. Mrs. B., who had a very meager idea of ​​the supernatural, wished that her name was kept secret in order to prevent the invasion of onlookers. She led a rather secluded life. Once a week with my husband attended a whist drive (when several groups get together in someone's house or any room for a game of whist. Whist - a card game that is usually played by four people, similar to the bridge in which to score points). In addition, and their morning trips to Tenbridzh Wells, they rarely left his cottage.

On Tuesday, June 18, 1968, Mr. and Mrs. B. went to the city for shopping. They parted in the center of town to buy each of their own, agreeing to meet later and have a cup of coffee at the restaurant store on Haystrit.

Mrs. B. has made its usual weekly inventories and still want to buy a box of shortbread as a prize for a whist drive. So do not choose a suitable box stores, where she usually came, she went to the little store self-service, which used to be a stranger to her, and asked the seller to see if the desired selling her box. Were not available. In order not to leave empty-handed, Mrs. B. has chosen two boxes of soup concentrate and looked around to see if the shelves are certain things to her liking when she noticed a passage in the wall to the left of you. It was the entrance to the rectangular room, at first glance, 7 by 4 meters, decorated with mahogany, in sharp contrast with the chrome and plastic lining store.

"Mahogany gave her a hard look, recalled Mrs. B. - I did not notice it the windows, but the room was illuminated by electric lights in small lampshades of tinted glass. In a room near the entrance, I saw two couples, dressed in the style of the mid XX century, and is still clearly remember one of the women clothing. On his head was wearing a beige fedora hat, trimmed with left bundle of dark fur of her coat was too beige and quite fashionable, but longish for the year 1968. " Mrs. B. said half a dozen dressed in festive costumes dark men, who were sitting a bit further back of the room.

People sat at tables cream, drinking coffee and talking about something. Fairly common scene for small towns to 11 am. Near the left wall near the entrance was a small counter and edged glass office, although the cashier was not to be seen. "

Mrs. V. considered "a bit strange" that she had not heard about this coffee shop before, but she thought it was a great idea from the supermarket, because the owner of the firm has long been an importer of tea and coffee.

"Another thing that struck me as odd - told Mrs. B., - this is what I do not smell the coffee, or eventually other odors that are usually inherent to the cafe, but these days, with such ventilation, I not very surprised. "

For a moment Mrs. B. hesitated whether she should try coffee in the newly opened her cafe, but changed her mind and went to meet her husband, and they agreed. Naturally, she told him about the "new coffee shop," and they decided to go there next Tuesday.

"A week later, having completed all our usual shopping, we went to the supermarket and went to the left wall, where I saw the entrance to the cafe, - said Mrs. B. - There was no entry, but only a huge glass fridge with frozen food. I was in shock. Husband as a joke asked me what I saw last Tuesday. Recovered a little, I asked the chief dealer, whether in the store cafe, but she shook her head and said that I was probably wrong store. I left, feeling like a fool. "

After visiting his usual cafe, Mrs. B. finally recovered from the shock, and persuaded her husband to go with her to search for a mysterious coffee. "After all, I, - she said - she knew what she saw. I told my husband last week. We went into the only two similar shops on this street. None was a cafe. In any case, I knew the store, and I never go to the other two. "

Seriously thinking over the mysterious incident that happened to her, Mrs. B. visited Miss S., a founder of the Society of psychics in Tenbridzh Wells, reputed to be something of an expert on the supernatural. Unlike Mrs. B. Miss S. Tenbridzh lived in Wells for many years. Mrs. B. asked if she knew what or structure, similar in detail to its description. Mrs. B. remembered that seven or eight years ago next to the store was a small self-service theater. Do you remember Miss S., was there an extension, which houses a cafe?

She could not remember. But, after thinking a little, she still said that during World War II, she attended the Constitutional Club Tenbridzh Wells, located on the left and rear of the current store, and who, as she remembered, was covered with mahogany and there were dining tables.

"In short, - said Mrs. B. - I found the present address of the Constitutional Club, which is now on the edge of town, and spoke with the manager on the phone. He led the club in 1919, with a short break during the second world war. I politely asked it looked like an old club, located in what areas and how many rooms. He told me that the club was accessible from the street, going to the door to the left of the supermarket, where I was, and climb stairs. Second floor was a room, behind which (to the left of the store self-service) was a small bar with tables. Behind him was a billiards room.

Then he told me that his job was to put the tables in the bar when the meeting took place, and that in addition to coffee in the range are as soft and alcoholic drinks.

I asked him to describe the café, which he did. His description coincided with all that I saw. That's when I told him what had happened. He thought it quite unusual. "

Dr. A. R. J. Owen of Trinity College, Cambridge, an expert on such phenomena, commented: "Mrs. B. seems to me quite a normal person and apparently without quirks, her story does not contain any obvious flaws. Retrospective clairvoyance (the term used for the type of paranormal phenomena, when the person gets back in time and see places and events that have taken place many years before) is much rarer than the ordinary clairvoyance, and he can not give a proper explanation.

Case in Tenbridzh Wells is of value to researchers of the paranormal for several reasons. First of all, the subject knew the exact time and place of the incident event. She also has a good memory for detail, and so she was able to give an excellent description of what he saw. Also seen Mrs. B. amenable to investigation in the context of what was on the site in the past. Thus, her case is undeniable manifestation retrospective clairvoyance. "

Unfortunately, not all such cases are so accurate and convincing, as discussed above, and are therefore exposed to the attacks of the critics. There are many examples of retrospective clairvoyance, which, however, is not convincing. Such cases should not be overlooked, but can not prove their veracity. For example, Edith Oliver in his book "Not knowing Mr. Walkley" (1938) tells of a journey undertaken by her from Divayzesa in Swindon in England on a rainy October evening in 1916. She thought she found a stone age Evberiysky monument, consisting of huge megaliths, which she read in a book. She stopped, got out of the car and saw something resembling an old-fashioned cottages, standing among the megaliths. She heard the roar of work where English is nearby fairs, despite the pouring rain.

Later, Miss Oliver was able to figure out that the traditional fair evberiyskuyu abolished in 1850, and the area cleared of stones before 1800 to use the land for crops. Although the case that occurred to her, indicates that perhaps Miss Olivier witnessed the scene from the distant past, but it was impossible to determine exactly in which place all had happened to her. That is, the incident can not be considered conclusive.
