The killed sometimes come from the afterlife to expose the criminals. This is evidenced not only by historical chronicles, but also by modern criminologists.
“This story is taken from a source, the reliability of which is beyond doubt. One of the first members of parliament under Charles I, who headed the legal profession until the accession to the throne of King William III in 1688, acts as a witness … This story can hardly be classified as superstition, since the event described has received legal confirmation."
With such a preface in 1851, the English magazine "Historical Review" accompanied the story of the mysterious death of Joan Norkot in 1629. The records of this case were discovered in 1690 in the papers of the famous lawyer Sir John Maynard, who died at the age of 88.
One morning, the inhabitants of a small town in Hertfordshire were shocked by the terrible news: Joan Norkot, who lived with her young son, husband Arthur, his mother Mary Norkot, sister Agnes and her husband John Okiman, was found with her throat cut!
The family announced: Joan committed suicide in a fit of insanity. Her mother-in-law and the Okiman spouses said that on the night of his death, Arthur went to visit friends. Not long before that, he had a quarrel with his wife, and she was in a gloomy, depressed mood all evening. Feeling hopeless, Joan unexpectedly grabbed a knife and slit her throat.
However, an inspection of the house showed that Joan could not commit suicide. And Judge Harvey ordered the coroner to remove the body from the grave, which was done on the thirtieth day after death, with a large crowd of people. At that time, it was believed that the body of a person who died a violent death would somehow react if the killer touched it. Therefore, after exhumation, it was decided to perform a touch test.
Sir Maynard describes the procedure as follows:
“Each of the four members of the Norkot family acting as defendants were ordered to touch the corpse. Okiman's wife fell to her knees and begged God to help prove their innocence … The defendants laid their hands on the dead body, and then on the deceased's forehead - and her skin already had a grayish, deathly pale shade - small drops of sweat began to appear, which began to run down her face. The forehead has changed: the skin has acquired a lively and fresh shade. The deceased opened one eye and closed it again. This was repeated three times. She also lifted her ring finger three times, and blood oozed from it onto the grass.

After that, Judge Harvey changed his original conclusion. The final verdict was: "Joan Norkot was killed by one or more unknown persons." Although he did not explicitly name the killers, suspicion fell on Arthur, Mary, Agnes and John. In a new trial, the orphaned child Joan Norkot was recognized as a plaintiff against his father, grandmother, uncle and aunt.
At first they denied the charge, but the testimony of the deceased, who blamed three of them for her murder, was extremely weighty. After all, if no one entered the house between the moment when Joan retired to the bedroom and the time when her body was found, then only her mother-in-law Mary Norkot and wife Okiman could be the killers. Joan was found in her bed, but the sheet was uncrumpled. A terrible wound ran across her neck from ear to ear, and the neck itself was also broken. In the case of suicide, one excluded the other. After all, she could not cut her throat and then break her neck, or vice versa.
In addition, the bloody knife was stuck deep into the floor at the side, and sloped towards the door. But in her death throes, Joan Norkot could not have stuck a knife like that. Arthur Norkot's alibi collapsed when it turned out that in fact he did not go to his friends, with whom he allegedly spent several hours.
In short, medieval forensic investigators carried out a first-class investigation even by modern standards. Joan Norkot's murder case was re-heard in court, which convicted her husband, his mother, and Agnes Okiman. John Okiman was acquitted. Arthur and Mary Norkot were sentenced to death, and Agnes was released when it was revealed that she was pregnant.
The motive for the murder was the envy that both women felt for Joan, who enjoyed everyone's love. They convinced Arthur that his wife was cheating on him, and he participated in the reprisal against her. John Okiman was a witness to the crime, but was silent, as the killers threatened to finish him off if he let it out.
A similar incident has occurred today in the Australian city of Fremantle. John McNicholson was visited by his buddies Tom Grant, Harry Coombe and Kenneth Berry to play poker. That evening, Grant was incredibly lucky: he won 73 thousand dollars. All the players gathered at McNicholson's were wealthy people and immediately paid in cash. At midnight Grant, Coombe and Berry left. And in the morning, on the street near McNicholson's house, they found the body of a lucky Grant, who was killed by a knife blow under his left shoulder blade. There was no money with him.
Suspicion fell primarily on Berry and Kouomb. But both claimed that, leaving the McNicholson house, at the nearest intersection, they all went in different directions, since they lived in different parts of the city. In addition, as the examination showed, the fatal blow was inflicted with a knife or dagger with a long narrow blade. But neither Berry nor Kumba had ever seen such edged weapons before, and if any of them had one, why would he take it with him when he went to play poker?
And the investigation decided: Grant was killed by an unknown bandit, of which there are many in the port of Fremantle. True, it remained unclear why the nameless robber attacked exactly Grant, who won a large sum that evening. A stranger could not find out about this in the middle of the night on an empty street. But this awkward question was ignored.
Grant was buried two weeks later. He was a bachelor, and three friends took over the organization of the funeral. When they arrived at the morgue, the orderly took the body out on a gurney and asked Kumba, who was standing next to him, to help put it in the coffin. The two of them raised the dead man, and then something incredible happened. The upper palm of his folded arms suddenly lifted up, as if the deceased were saying goodbye to their friends.
The orderly immediately pressed her tightly to his chest. Later, he told a pathologist about this curiosity, who jokingly remarked that the deceased did not say goodbye, but pointed to the killer.
A year later, the killer was found - it turned out to be Harry Coombe, who helped transfer the deceased to the coffin. He exposed himself.
When the buddies were playing poker, the owner of the house, McNicholson, paid off with the money that he had withdrawn from the account that day. The rest of the players did not know about this. During the investigation, the banknote numbers were established and reported to all banks in the city. But not a single banknote appeared then. And suddenly, after a year had passed, Universal Bank reported to the police: three 100-dollar bills from the wanted list had arrived at their department. They paid the next installment on the insurance of his house, a certain Harry Coombe …
Detectives immediately came to see him, determined to dismantle his cottage bit by bit, but to find the bloody money. However, this was not required. When Kumbu was presented with three 100-dollar bills as evidence, he immediately confessed to the murder. It turned out that the knife, which averted suspicion from him, Coombe bought from a sailor in a port tavern. On the way to McNicholson, he dropped in there to wet his throat before a long game, since his partners were teetotalers.
At first glance, both of these cases seem incredible. After all, corpses cannot move their hands, much less point to someone. But let's not jump to conclusions.
An experiment was carried out in Moscow that became a sensation. A short documentary was shown on television. For many, it caused shock. The action took place in the morgue. On a metal gurney lay the numb corpse of a man, over which a man in a white robe conjured. He made passes over the deceased with his hands. And suddenly the dead man's hand moved. Then he raised his head, pulled up his legs. A few more seconds pass, and his whole body seems to rise, as if the dead man is about to rise, but immediately falls back.
The picture is creepy for ordinary people. However, this is just a non-contact energy transfer experience that causes individual muscles to contract. And Yuri Longo spent it in front of the doctors. “This is not a trick or a revival of the dead in the full sense of the word. With my extrasensory impulses, I only restored the motor functions of individual muscles. The body itself remained cold, that is, the life processes in it did not go on. Much is not clear to me and myself in these "revivals", since I act almost intuitively. And here we need a team of resuscitators and psychics to try to find out what processes occur in a dead body when energy impulses enter it,”Longo said at the end of the experiment.
He conducted several such experiments in the morgue of the Sklifosovsky Institute, and learned how to give commands to "revive" from one of the Russian sorcerers in the countryside. According to Professor E. Andriankin, a scientist working at the intersection of physics, medicine and mathematics, the "revival" demonstrated by Longo shows a clear effect of the influence of psychic energy impulses on the acupuncture points of a corpse.
Briefly, this process can be described as follows. When a psychic mentally affects inanimate matter, that is, sends electromagnetic pulses, quanta of the received energy accumulate in it. In Longo's experiments, this matter was corpses. In the tissues of their muscles, the cells were preserved and therefore could serve as a kind of microcondensers, into which energy "droplets" came from the sorcerer. But from physics it is known: if the capacity of a capacitor is exceeded, its breakdown is inevitable - the release of accumulated energy. Perhaps this happened in the cell capacitors of corpses.
When Longo overflowed them, a discharge followed, and a biocurrent appeared in the tissues, forcing the muscles to contract. Therefore, the arms and legs of the corpses moved.
Today many scientists admit: yes, a person has an energy-informational essence, or, as it is traditionally called, a soul. After the death of the body, it does not disappear, but continues to exist in the subtle world. There the soul is incorporeal and at the same time material. It's just a different kind of matter, but consisting of the same quantum particles as our earthly material world and the entire Universe.
And, like any essence, the soul is endowed with energy. Under certain conditions, for example, in the case of a strong desire to expose the killer of her own body, she is able to influence this energy on the former earthly shell. That is, to make the eyelids, fingers, hands of the corpse move, as Yuri Longo did during his experiments.
It is possible that in the future science will understand this phenomenon, and criminologists will learn to apply it to
practice. However, a technique has already been developed for obtaining important readings from the dead.
- The deceased can be summoned for a kind of interrogation, and he will certainly tell about the last minutes of his life, - says senior adviser of justice Nikolai Kitaev. - The corpse will tell what his death was - violent, natural or happened as a result of a tragic coincidence. Unfortunately, the deceased will not be able to name the killer, but he will definitely report the fact of the murder. And this is incredibly important. Many violent death crimes are committed in conditions where there are no witnesses or evidence. Moreover, quite often those who commit murders try to pass them off as accidents or suicides.
This is said by a professional who gave twenty years of his life to forensic science, of which ten he was an investigator for special cases. He often got the crimes of hopeless, clouded. Kitaev not only solved them, but none of these cases fell apart in court. 58 of his godchildren were sentenced to capital punishment, 41 were carried out, 13 were commuted to life imprisonment or 15-year terms, and four of those sentenced committed suicide. Kitaev knows from his own experience how inventive the criminal world is, and therefore, in investigative practice, he looks for unusual methods of solving crimes.
In 1953, in London, Judge A. Buckneel published a scientific work in which he pointed out the possibility of taking into account the dreams of suspects when investigating mysterious crimes. In this regard, the directive collection "Soviet criminalistics in the service of the investigation" categorically wrote: "All this idealistic nonsense must, of course, be resolutely rejected by us as having nothing to do with science."
And Kitaev, with the help of dreams, exposed the Irkutsk sexual maniac-killer, doctor V. Kulik. For this, he resorted to the help of the famous Leningrad professor VN Kasatkin, the author of the monograph "Theory of Dreams". His expertise played a decisive role in the examination of Kulik at the Serbsky Institute. Telling the investigator his dreams, the maniac doctor tried to mow under the abnormal. And Professor Kasatkin proved where in the dreams-testimony of Kulik the truth, testifying to his guilt, and where is sheer fiction.
Now Senior Counselor of Justice Kitaev has developed a methodology for interrogating the dead! He was assisted by Professor Konstantin Korotkov, an employee of the Center for Energy Information Technologies and the State Institute of Fine Mechanics. They took the so-called Kirlian effect as a starting point, the essence of which is that various objects, including biological ones, glow in different ways in high-frequency electromagnetic fields.
- This is what made it possible to establish that any dead person can give reliable testimony about his death. Depending on the circumstances of a person's departure from life - murder, natural death, suicide, accident - the pattern and character of the glow of his corpse change,”says Kitaev. - True, the "interrogation" of the deceased is a very time consuming business Imagine a concrete basement twenty meters long, reliably isolated from extraneous radiation.
Humidity and temperature are constant. At its far end, an object is fixed, which must "testify" about the nature of its death. The corpse is strictly oriented. Electrodes are attached to each finger of the left hand. All fingers are photographed twice every hour. After three days, about eight thousand images are sent for computer processing, after which a conclusion can be drawn about the circumstances of death. So the corpse testifies.
