President Nixon's housekeeper hypnotized into shoplifting
In 1971, Shirley Cromartie, a housekeeper for President Richard Nixon at his Key Biscayne retreat, was arrested for shoplifting four dresses. According to Cromartie, she was hypnotically coerced into the theft by a young woman who approached her, "released a jasmine-like scent from her left hand" to told her "to take the dresses former children."
Psychiatrist Dr. Albert Maslow who examined Cromartie said he "believed she was telling the truth."
