Hypnotism?

Hypnotism?

From Pikiran Rakyat

I am an employee of hotel "H". On Aug. 25, 1995 at about 8:00 a.m., three people (one man and two women) came in and said they wanted to stay at the hotel. The man was about 40 years old and the women were 20 years and 35 years old respectively. According to the man, the two women were his wives.

At about noon I met the three guest again. They knew that a relative of mine was sick. They asked me to fetch my sick relative and bring a hen's egg. I did what they told me. I brought the sick relative to the guests. They started to say Islamic prayers.

Then they asked me to go home and prepared things that they required as a precondition for the recovery of the sick person: a can of rice, a handful of earth taken from a cemetery and money amounting to Rp 440,000, together with 25 grams of gold taken from my wife.

Without my knowing, when they came to our house as promised, they put the valuables and money in the rice can, warning us not to open it until the next day. The can was put inside the cupboard, and the key was kept by them. Afterwards I went back with them to the hotel.

In less than one hour I seemed to regain consciousness and at that moment I realized that I was deceived through hypnotism. When I checked on the guests in the hotel, they had gone. At home I found only the rice, but not the money and the valuables.
