Harry's Out of Body Experience (was: ...Ron's prescience)

[Victoria McLure]

No: HPFGUIDX 9284

I cannot admit to being a psychic (other than predicting failing 
grades for some of my students), but I do know one slightly.  During 
the Vietnam War, she would wake up in the middle of the night and 
start writing down lists of names.  She had no idea who the people 
were.  Then, they started showing up on the casualty list in the paper 
days later.  There are also stories of people who have had "out of 
time" experiences.  That is, they are in one place in 2001 and then 
are suddenly in the same place as it was 10 years earlier, watching 
events unfold.  A writer friend of mine knows someone to whom this 
happens.  From what I can gather, people who are legitimate seers do 
not ask for this, as it can be both gift and curse.  And, they do not 
ask for the visions to come, they just do.  See Sharyn McCrumb's 
novels, _The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter_, _She Walks These Hills_, 
etc.  
Better stop.  I see syllabi that must be written in my future! :-)
