Scientists believe that the phenomenon of psychography, or automatic writing, is a way of communicating with your own subconscious
It happened on the fortieth day after the death of her husband, - writes us Klavdiya Gulyaeva from Mytishchi. - I wrote a letter to my brother in Vologda. She complained about how hard it would be for me to live now, there was nothing to dress and put on for children. She burst into tears, and when she wiped her tears, she found on a piece of paper several phrases in her husband's handwriting: “There is money! Look at the bookshelf in the bedroom, leaf through the encyclopedia. " I stared in horror at the mysterious message. And suddenly my hand began to write again on its own: "Flip through the book." I wanted to pull my hand back, but I couldn't do it. As if an unknown force gripped my wrist, preventing me from moving. And again the words “Go to the shelf” crawled out from under the pen. When the ghostly power weakened, I opened the book and found between the pages a large stash, which my husband had made secretly from me. I don't believe in the existence of spirits. But how can you explain what happened?"
A worker completed the novel for Dickens
“Automatic writing can be found in ancient Indian manuscripts,” says Evgeny KROVOROTOV, head of the Center for the Study of the Paranormal. - It is also called psychography. Thus, people not only write down texts, but also draw, create musical works. During automatic writing, the hand seems to exist separately from the owner, the handwriting can also change. Where the information comes from, despite the large number of guesses, is unknown. It can be assumed that this phenomenon has a similar mechanism to clairvoyance.
The most famous example of psychography is associated with Charles Dickens's unfinished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Dickens died before he could write the ending of the work. A month after the funeral, an uneducated worker who had come to England from America in search of work brought the missing text to the publisher, claiming that Dickens himself had dictated it to him. After the novel was published in its final form, all the ridicule stopped, since even the most meticulous writers admitted that only the author himself could write this way. By the way, this worker did not show himself in any way in the writing field.
Information from the subconscious
How do scientists explain this phenomenon? Most experts believe that in this way the information inherent in our subconscious appears. In a recent issue of the Skeptical Inquire magazine, information was published regarding the scientific examination carried out to study automatic writing. Scientists believe that the reason for the phenomenon and similar phenomena is an unconscious involuntary contraction of some muscles of the arms, which work during stressful situations, as if “on the machine”. And they give an example. When a person drives a car along a familiar route, but during the trip he is busy with an important conversation on a cell phone, he still arrives at the appointed place, without thinking about the route. As if driving a car in an unconscious state. Likewise, the only ones who know psychography,they can disconnect from reality in a state of stress and, if they squeeze a pen in their fingers, they begin to “think” and “reason” on paper. In the case of Claudia from Mytishchi, it can be assumed that when she wrote a letter to her brother, she mentally wondered where the deceased husband could have hidden a stash. And the hand involuntarily drew conclusions on paper.
Communication with the other world

But there are other opinions as well. Edain McCoy, PhD in Psychology from the University of Texas, author of Automatic Writing for Beginners, believes that psychography is a way of communicating with our subconscious, which is a guide to the other world. In her opinion, human consciousness has unlimited possibilities. But we do not know how and where to find the key with which to open it. The technique of mastering automatic writing will help us get close to the discovery of mystical abilities, heed the advice that our subconscious gives us, find answers to difficult, vital questions and make the right decision.
- You have to sit down, relax and try to free your head from extraneous thoughts for half an hour, - the doctor explains the essence of his method. - A hand with a pencil at this time lies on a sheet of paper. Then you must slowly lower your eyes to the sheet, and the hand should begin to write by itself. After about a month of such daily training, anyone can master the skill of psychography.
Sveta is still afraid of strange black people.
Irkutsk woman Svetlana SUROVA, who spent a week between life and death, is sure: I have returned from the other world
- I lost consciousness instantly - as I fell into blackness, - Svetlana Surova, an Irkutsk woman, recalls. - Then I walk along the gray road. Little men are flitting around, very similar to devils. They are black, wearing red raincoats. And everything is covered with a gray veil … I want to say something, but I can't say a word. As if someone is holding his mouth. And then I fly somewhere again. I closed my eyes for a few seconds, I feel I stop. I open my eyes, and in front of me is a white church. And the bells are ringing. Such peace of mind.
Svetlana lost consciousness for seven days.
- Where I am? - that was my first question when I woke up, - says Sveta. - It seemed to me only five minutes had passed. I was shocked when the doctors explained that they had been keeping me on a respirator for a week.
Svetlana is now undergoing examination at the Clinic of Nervous Diseases. It turned out that the cause of the coma was an accidental fall on ice six years ago, which Surova had forgotten about. Then it seemed - nonsense. Slipped, fell, hit. I spent three days at home with a sore head. I thought it was a migraine. Then it got better and everything was forgotten.
- I seem to have returned from the other world, - says Svetlana. - Until now, a chill runs through the body at times. As I recall, it becomes scary. I'm afraid of the gray shroud and those strange black men.
SPECIALIST OPINION
A person comes out of a coma and comes to himself
Roman KABAKOV, Candidate of Medical Sciences:
- Indeed, there is a phenomenon of an altered state of consciousness, when a person comes out of a coma and comes to himself! The person loses consciousness, and there is no connection with the outside world at this moment. What a person experiences at this time is beyond rational analysis. We only fix how the brain works (we make an encephalogram).
