Stefan Ossowiecki
Polish engineer, psychic (1877-1944)
Stefan Ossowiecki (Moscow, 22 or 26 August 1877 – Warsaw, 5 August 1944) was a Polish[citation needed]engineer who was, during his lifetime, promoted as one of Europe's best-known psychics.[1] Two notable persons who credited his claims were pioneering French parapsychologist Gustav Geley and Nobel Prize-winning physiologist Charles Richet, who called Ossowiecki "the most positive of psychics."
Life
Ossowiecki was born in Moscow in 1877 into an affluent family of former Polish aristocrats.
His Moscow-born father, owner of a large chemicals factory and assistant to Dmitri Mendeleyev, clung to his Polish heritage and taught his son to speak Polish and to think of himself as a Pole.
Stefan Ossowiecki was said to have manifested psychic talents in his youth, much to his family's confusion.
When young Stefan told his mother he could see bands of color around people, she took him to an eye doctor
