It may be difficult to explain, but when people like you have witnessed it, then it becomes hard to completely disregard it. Thanks for sharing your experience.<br />I have written another post on xenoglossy in which I have tried give explanations of it. Perhaps you might be interested in it.

It was in the middle of the night when an elderly patient was wheeled in. The nurses put him in the bed next to me. At the time the man was talking fairly loudly. I cannot speak a foreign language myself but could certainly recognise one if I heard it ie French,Italian,Spanish, Italian,German etc. I have never heard anyone speak that language in my life either before or since.<br /> The next morning when they were bringing the breakfasts round,I was amazed to hear him speaking English in a broad black country accent eg,Walsall,Tipton,Willenhall,Wednesbury etc. There was absolutely no evidence of any foreign language at all.I listened intently throughout the day.I asked a nurse about it and she said "Yes, it's happened before on a few occasions" but she couldn't explain it!Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572853366163903535.post-11569992070580795272009-03-07T18:24:00.000+05:302009-03-07T18:24:00.000+05:30@ SebastyneThat sounds really interesting. good to...@ Sebastyne<BR/>That sounds really interesting. good to know someone who has had such a close experience with xenoglossy (even if its an indirect one). one day i would definitely love to hear a lot more about this incident from you.<BR/><BR/>Like this case, some of the other ones that i have read, the psychiatrist or researcher and others who have been a witness to such an incident do not really understand the language spoken by the other person and this makes it very difficult to find out about its accuracy.<BR/><BR/>i'm not going to question your belief in reincarnation. there are many people who believe in it and there are many who don't. you believe in it and you obviously might be having your own reasons in doing so.<BR/><BR/>i've been gathering a lot more information about xenoglossy and some day i might write another post on it.Saif Farooqihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497624491219843716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572853366163903535.post-41019266786937278872009-03-07T08:04:00.000+05:302009-03-07T08:04:00.000+05:30My husband witnessed his friend starting to speak ...My husband witnessed his friend starting to speak French during a regression therapy session with her psychiatrist. (Long story.) She has never spoken any other language than English, but her whole presence changed and she appeared to be smoking a cigarette while speaking. The only thing that remains a question is that neither the psychiatrist or my husband spoke French, so they couldn't possibly tell if it was accurate or not. Whether it was or not, it must have been interesting.<BR/><BR/>It is easy for me to accept as a possiblity, as I am a firm believer of reincarnation. Again, the operative word here is "a believer".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572853366163903535.post-30070103421082880472009-01-24T12:46:00.000+05:302009-01-24T12:46:00.000+05:30nice blog..i like to read =Dnice blog..i like to read =Dqeelzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044012172758172699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572853366163903535.post-18764219820300801132009-01-18T01:14:00.000+05:302009-01-18T01:14:00.000+05:30@ gynophilenice to know that despite not being of ...@ gynophile<BR/>nice to know that despite not being of your interest you still found it informative.<BR/><BR/>@ Aparna<BR/>yeah, xenoglossy is that kind of phenomenon that many people will have their doubts about it, so i'm not surprised that you don't believe in it ... i myself do not completely believe in it, but i also do not completely disbelieve it ...Saif Farooqihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497624491219843716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572853366163903535.post-47062622848404502642009-01-15T15:54:00.000+05:302009-01-15T15:54:00.000+05:30imformative blog!XENOGLOSSY is a casereincarnation...imformative blog!<BR/><BR/>XENOGLOSSY is a case<BR/>reincarnation is also involved...but i dont believe in itAparna (Life Takes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10317107449181119426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572853366163903535.post-15861281448709096522009-01-13T22:52:00.000+05:302009-01-13T22:52:00.000+05:30Though I'm least interested in such things but thi...Though I'm least interested in such things but this was pretty informative.
