Subject: Hypnotic Experimentation and Research,

Febuary 10, 1954

On Wednesday, 10 February, 1954, hypnotic

experimentation and research work was continued

in Building 13 of the Mount Massive Preserve in

Colorado using the following subjects.

<material abridged>

1. A posthypnotic of the night before (pointed

finger, you will sleep) was enacted. Misses

Jackson and Pierce immediately progressed to a

deep hypnotic state with no further suggestion.

Miss Pierce was then instructed (having

previously expressed a fear of firearms in any

fashion) that she would use every method at her

disposal to awaken miss Jackson (now in a deep

hypnotic sleep), and failing this, she would

pick up a nearby pistol and fire it at Miss

Jackson. She was instructed that her rage would

be so great that she would not hesitate to

"kill" Jackson for failing to awaken.

2. Miss Pierce carried out these suggestions to

the letter including firing the (unloaded

pneumatic pistol) gun at Jackson and then

proceeding to fall into a deep sleep. After

proper suggestions were made, both were

awakened and expressed complete amnesia for the

entire sequence. Miss Pierce was again handed

the gun, which she refused (in an awakened

state) to pick up or accept from the operator.

She expressed absolute denial that

the foregoing sequence had happened."
