Agnes Moorehead of TV's Bewitched had an experience some years ago that continues to be so real she has, long since, quit trying to rationalize it and accepts it for whatever it was. The incident occurred when she was staying at the Mediterraneo Hotel at Palma, Majorca. "I was on my way to a room where I was to look at fabrics," she says. "I had no idea where the room was located since I had never stayed at this hotel. I wandered along a subterranean passageway and at first thought nothing of it." "Then, while walking along a narrow hallway floored in black and white marble, I had a feeling, a strange, strong feeling, that I had passed this way before. It all was very familiar to me. I knew where there would be a door and where there would be a connecting passageway. I knew, too, that the corridor on my right, would have gold leaf on the ceiling. And, making another turn, I looked for and found arched niches in the wall." "Coming to a certain door, I turned the knob and went in. And there were the fabrics I wanted to see!" "Not only had I never been in this hotel before, but I had never been in Majorca before! For this entire incident, I have no explanation. Even though it happened back in the 1940s, when I was making "Captain Blackjack", it remains as vivid as if it had happened yesterday." Agnes thinks it unfortunate that a fear of the occult prevails. "As if," she said "it MUST be threatening and hostile." She believes otherwise. When she had repeated evidence that the ghost of Sigmund Romberg, in whose house she was living, roamed the house in the night, she did not find it remotely scary. If Sigmund was there, as certainly he seemed to be, she was sure he was looking after her. "It's alright Sigie," she said aloud, hoping he heard her. "Everybody's happy here. Rest Sigie! Rest!"
