Omet appears not to be in Haute Garonne but is not hugely far away.
The Revue Spirite has for some time past begun to explore other ground than that occupied by the follower s of Allan Kardec, and the expositors of his doctrines, and the May number contains so large and pleasing a variety of articles, that justice could only be done to some of them by giving them entire. All readers of French would find it worth their while to procure a copy for themselves.
From time to time accounts have appeared of peculiar physical manifestations, especially of the class known as apports, or transfer of objects from one place to another. At Omet in the department of Haute-Garonne, there has been such an amount of stone-throwing as to render the daughter of M.J. Vimeney, in whose house the manifestations occurred, exceeding ill. The stones were taken out of parts of the house itself, and thrown whizzing through the air in different directions; crockery was transported in disorderly fashion, and whistling noises were continually heard.
In order to put a stop to these unpleasant occurrences, a seance was held, and the authors of the disturbances evoked by means of writing and trance mediums. They avowed their object to be simply to make known their existence, and promised to yield to the desire of the circle that they should discontinue to manifest in so noisy a manner. A considerable effect is said to have been produced in the neighbourhood on those who, hitherto, disbelieved in the existence of spiritual forces.
Spiritualist, 25th May 1877.
In the same journal [La Revue Spirite] of date 1877, we find a large number of cases describing various kinds of phenomenal mediumship. Amongst them the following: […] Now, M Parjade writes that at Omet (Haute Garonne), at the house of M. Vimeney, the same phenomena have been taking place; the furniture, crockery, cooking utensils were tumbled into confusion, while stones flew in every direction. ‘These facts,’ says the writer, ‘have excited all the inhabitants of the canton, but no one but the Spiritualists could discover the cause; they are identical with those of Tabanac in the year 1872.’
‘The Spiritualists of this region,’ he continues, ‘evoked the spirits and reasoned with them; the daughter of M. Vimeney was restored to health, and the phenomena disappeared.’
In confirmation of the above, Mons. Vimeney wrote himself to the editor of the Revue, and says: ‘By our appeal and by prayer, these spirits came to us and promised to listen to our counsel; my daughter has become perfectly well, and the disturbances have ceased completely.’ The letter is signed by sixteen witnesses.
