Hypnosis has been used for numerous reasons by hynotherapists and government agencies. Some of these case logs give incidences where hypnosis has been used in conjunction with psychic abilities.
A girl subject to taking part in an experiment in Paris was told to kill one of the students; she appeared to try to do so and had to be restrained. Yet when asked to take her clothes off, she blushed, came out of her hypnotic trance and ran from the room, sobbing.
Dr Malcolm Rawson, chief neurologist at Hull Royal Infirmary, questioned 13-year-old Gail Rogers after putting her in a hypnotic trance. Police used hypnosis to try to cast light on the mysterious disappearance of Genette Tate, also aged 13, who vanished while delivering evening papers on Friday 18th August 1978 in her home town of Aylesbeare in Devon. An oil painting was produced by an artist from descriptions given by Gail and her mother, Matilda Rogers, under hypnosis, and for a time police were hopeful it might give them a lead. By the end of 1981, however, the case remained unsolved.
