J'ai pensé à l'ouvrir en lisant ce message de Gatti :
Vous êtes vous renseigné entièrement sur ce cas Mr Gatti avant de lancer de nouvelles "recherches" à son sujet ?Gatti a écrit :Ces rationalistes qui réfutent farouchement l'existences de ces phénomènes doivent savoir que nous allons leur mener la vie dure car nous allons maintenant porter tous nos efforts sur une autres affaires polrtergeist qui à laissées de traces en Angleterre et sur laquelle il leur sera très difficile de nier l'existence de faits majeurs aux incidences physiques. Ils s'agit de l'affaire poltergeist d'Enfield http://perso.wanadoo.fr/CHUM/M165.htm Ces rationalistes ne pourront pas éternellement inventer des artifices pour se dérober a leur devoir et comme disait Victor HUGO à leur obligation qu'ils ont de tout étudier.
Voici ce que l'on trouve sur la plupart des sites (sceptiques ou non !) racontant l'histoire des fillettes d'Enfield (désolé c'est en anglais...):
Pensez vous sincèrement qu'il reste un espoir que toute cette histoire ne soit pas bidon ?further researchers were sent by the SPR (Society for Physical Research) - Anita Gregory and John Beloff. Gregory was convinced that all the activity stemmed from Janet’s trickery. She claimed that they were excluded from the children’s bedroom when the phenomena was said to occur and that they would hear a ‘thump and a squeal’ from Janet’s room and upon entering they would find Janet sitting in the middle of the floor claiming she had been flung there by the ‘entity’.
Another occasion, Gregory was allowed into the room but had to stand with her head towards the door to allow the poltergeist activity to occur - it proceeded by throwing objects at her head whilst she heard the children giggling. Gregory believed the voices to be muffled voices of Janet and her thirteen year old sister Rose covering their mouths with their bedsheets or averting their faces whilst producing this ‘phenomenon’. During her visit, Gregory ‘caught’ Janet cheating - a video camera had been set up in a room next door to Janet that recorded her bending spoons and attempting to bend an iron bar by sheer force, as well as "bouncing up and down on her bed, making flapping movements with her hands". Janet admits to having done this. She claims that she "wanted to see if the investigators would catch her out - they always did". Gregory also claims that Janet’s Uncle, John Burcombe had told her that he believed that Janet had taught herself to talk in a deep voice and that she had always been a mischievous child, enjoying misleading strangers. Janet was also an athletic girl who could have quite easily jumped from her bed to the floor when she claimed she was being ‘thrown’ by the ‘entity’. After two years, the events subsided and the Harper family continued their normal lives.
N'avez vous pas une affaire plus contemporaine et moins polémique à étudier ?
Bien à vous.
PS : cette discution n'est pas uniquement destinée à F. Gatti, mais aussi à tout ceux qui ce sont interressé un tant soit peu à cette histoire...
