Great find! Yes, it appears the young girls were being poison gassed into having hallucinations, euphoria and other narcotic effects while being confined to a prison and forced to come up with "prophecies" which were vague statements which could be taken any way you choose to interpret them.
So Elizabeth Selden remembers that happening to her in a former life?
Also in primitive times, people would cut up the entrails of an animal, and "read the future" there too.
Did she do that too?
The Past-life people are always a Queen, Goddess, or Marilyn Monroe, etc, in a former life.
Why are they never criminals and scam-artists and liars in their former lives?
Oh, that's right, that's reserved for this life.

Delphic Oracle's Lips May Have Been Loosened by Gas Vapors

In the August issue of GEOLOGY, J.Z. de Boer reports on a four-year interdisciplinary study that has successfully identified young faults at the Oracle site and has also pinpointed the emissions responsible for the Pythia's trance state—light hydrocarbon gases from bituminous limestone. De Boer and colleagues found ethane, methane, and ethylene in spring water near the Oracle. The euphoric effects of ethylene, which had been used as anesthesia in the last century, jibe very well with Plutarch's description of the gas the Pythia inhaled. Henry Spiller, a medical doctor who recently joined the research group, provided details on the narcotic effects of ethylene that completed the team's theory.
