“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth announced his presence as the four of us sat quietly talking, at approximately 11:45 PM. Bill and Peggy share the cost of a cottage on Seneca Lake with other members of Peggy’s family, and had been taking steps to sell the cottage this fall. Bill dislikes seeing it go, since he uses it as a base for his skin-diving expeditions in the lake, which is one of New York State’s famous Finger Lakes.

(The first point I would like to make is that Seth told us enough of the clairvoyant material involving Dr. Instream is valid; this will keep up the doctor’s interest. The second point concerns the main subject matter of the session, which evolved from a question I asked Seth about the Gallagher’s cottage on Seneca Lake. Bill was inspired to ask Seth whether it would be possible to locate Indian artifacts on the lake bottom; he had long been curious about this.

(By this, Bill meant American Indian artifacts, and had in mind stone tools, etc. Seth surprised us by telling us this was quite possible. Then he added that in a certain location could be found bronze artifacts in the lake. There was much here, including some generalized locations and descriptions, that is not recorded. Suffice it to say that Seth made no error in using the word bronze. He also said these artifacts would date from either the 7th century, or the 17th century.

(A break came at about 12:45. During it, Bill said he thought the information from Seth was sure to be pretty fragmented. Either that, or such artifacts were not Indian at all. Bill knows something of local history. He told us the 7th century reference would be correct if the Vikings were to be involved, since, he said, this date in history finds Viking evidence in the Great Lakes to the west. As far as he knew, there is no record of Viking activity in this part of the northeast, in New York State.

(To our surprise Lorraine told us this evening that she is quite familiar with Seneca Lake. She said that in spite of its size there are relatively few gasoline stations on the lake.
