By the way Apophenia, did you change the handles while you stayed in he room? the handles she draw perfectly without ever being in the place?
No. It was a dorm room. I was only living there for a very short time.
It was the detail about the door handles which I found particularly memorable.
To be totally rigorous about this, I have been thinking about this and wondering if there is any mundane explanation which I had overlooked. There is one. I can see that it is conceivable that my friend had the cooperation of someone else in the dorm building for a practical joke. Someone who knew my room layout, and heard my music.
But it seems highly unlikely. I was not aware of anyone in the dorm who knew her, and no-one ever called "Punked !" or whatever, which I would expect if it was a setup.
Nevertheless, my integrity demands that I consider (and acknowledge) this possibility.
If that were true, it was of the calibre of the pranks described in Robert Anton Wilson's book 'Masks of the Illuminati".
Which is a great book. if you've never read it, you can download a free PDF here http://api.ning.com/files/XcAwVH5uS...POwutOOpHm/4966628RAWMasksoftheIlluminati.pdf
The novel features numerous real-life historical figures in its narrative, including a first person description of reality by scientist Albert Einstein and Irish author James Joyce, while the plot involves English author and occultist Aleister Crowley, British nobles, the Loch Ness Monster and mystical experiences.
The plot revolves primarily around the description by a young English gentleman, Sir John Babcock, of his initiation into the Argenteum Astrum. Ancestors of Sir John are major characters in The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles.
