Time Stood Still
-
Timepieces stopped mysteriously when someone dies is a surprisingly common phenomenon. A number of parapsychologists believe that a dying person releases some psychic energy or force that makes a clock stop.
On 4 December 1887 George Fry of Oil City, Pennsylvania, USA, had just written a letter to his brother Gideon, whom he knew to be seriously ill some 560km away in Big Rapids, Michigan. He glanced up at the clock, which belonged to his brother, and noticed it wasn't working. Checking his pocket-watch, he saw that the clock had stopped only minutes before, at 9.45pm. As he moved to adjust it, a strange light seemed to flood the face of the clock. A telegram next morning announced Gideon's death. A letter later confirmed that he had died at precisely 9.45pm the previous evening.
A similarly strange experience befell a Washington judge, Jerry Wilson, who awoke one night at 2,10am when his normally reliable antique clock stopped its familiar ticking. Next morning he learnt that the friend who had given him the clock had unexpectedly died at 2am in another part of the city.
Sometimes a clock starts unexpectedly. In 1944 a Missouri farming family, whose son Ben was fighting in Germany, had an old grandfather clock that had not worked for years. On 29 November its hands began to move spontaneously and at the same time Ben's dog began an incessant howling. Days later the family were notified that Ben had been killed in action on that date.
Did psychic energy from the dying affect these clocks or is their stopping or starting at the time of death just a coincidence?
