FORTUNE TELLER HURLS CRYSTAL BALL INTO SEA.

On Saturday afternoon Madame Daphne, the well-known Highsea fortune teller, is reported to have thrown her crystal ball into the sea after a session with an unidentified client. Mr Marcus Ravin who, with his wife , was waiting outside Madame Daphne’s booth at the end of the pier at the time, told our reporter that the incident happened about 5.30 p.m. when the pier was particularly crowded with people coming out of the Pier Pavilion, where a show had just ended. Mr Ravin , who confessed he was on his honeymoon, said he and his wife were waiting because they wanted to have their fortunes told. According to Mr Ravin, a young man with a beard and wearing dark glasses suddenly burst out of Madame Daphne’s booth, shouting ‘ Witch ! Witch !’ At least that is what Mr Ravin thought he said, and his opinion is confirmed by his wife, Lucy, who thought he also said a word that sounded like ‘ Vampire!’. Mrs Ravin said the young man looked ‘as if he’d had a bad fright’ . She told our reporter that he looked ‘as though he didn’t know which way to run’ and then he gave a little cry and seemed to disappear into the crowd. She said Madame Daphne came out a minute or so later, with a face like thunder. She was carrying her crystal ball in her hand . ‘ She never said a word,’ said Mrs Ravin , ‘not to anyone’ .She just pushed her way to the pier rail and threw the ball into the sea. It made a huge splash, and two men who were fishing on the steps below got very wet and quite upset. But Madame Daphne didn’t seem to care. She marched back into her booth without saying anything to anyone.’

When our reporter went down to Madame Daphne’s booth later in the day, he found it empty, but there was a notice on the door saying ‘ Closed until further notice’ . There was a dark red stain on the boards outside the booth that looked like blood, but was probably only wine spilt by one of the holidaymakers on the pier. Our reporter was unable to find anyone who had seen or spoken to Madame Daphne since the incident of the crystal ball.
