Pullen Bury was the name. He was a student of the occult, and my curiosity was aroused by learning that he had one room in his house which no one entered but himself, as it was reserved for mystic and philosophic purposes." Ellic Howe continues the story, "Pullen Burry suggested that Conan Doyle should join the G.D., but did not reveal its name. Conan Doyle described an unusual dream which he appeared to equate with an 'astral visit' made by some member of the order to discover whether or not he was a suitable candidate.

From what I learnt, I should judge that the powers of this society included that of loosening their own etheric bodies , in summoning the etheric bodies of others (mine for example), and in making thought images ... But their line of development or philosophy is beyond me. I was destined to meet Pullen Burry again, for when I was in America last year I found him full of
