i had to post this article on here i was reading last night its the most bizarre thing i have ever read.its taken from poltergeist by Colin Wilson:
A Italian professor Cesare Lombroso investigated a case of a 14 year old girl who developed the ability to see through her ear,and the end of her nose and smell from her chin it all began when she started to menstruate she began to sleep walk and devloped hysterical blindness. he conducted several experiments and it turned out not only had she these strange abilites but she could also predict the future. but after a few weeks all the girls senses returned back to normal .
Lombroso also found similar cases one girl who developed hysterical sympyoms at puberty she could accurately distinguish colours with her hands, there was also another case of an 11 year old girl who suffered a back wound and was able to read with her elbow , another pubescent girl could read a book with her stomach when her eyes where closed.
Lombroso came up with the theory of the human faculties pointing out that seeing , hearing, smelling and feeling all take place through the nerves and if one of hese faculties becomes paralysed there is no scientific reason why another should not take over.
