(1909-1980)

A Dutch sensitive and healer who lived at Enschede, Netherlands. He was extensively tested by Professor W. H. C. Tenhaeff, director
of the Parapsychology Institute of the University of Utrecht, and by Hans Bender of the University of Freiburg in Germany.
Croiset worked unobtrusively with the chief justice of Leeuwarden and with the chief of police at Harlem in tracing criminals or missing persons. He was not a professional psychic.

Croiset was born on March 10, 1909, in the town of Laren, North Holland. He manifested clairvoyant faculty as a child, but it was not until
the mid-1930s that he began to use his psychic talents. He became associated with a Spiritualist group in Enschede, where
he had settled as a young man. He gradually became known as a psychic and healer and was able to make his living in that manner
through World War II. At the time he was discovered by parapsychologist Tenhaeff in 1945, Croiset was running a small healing clinic.
After a series of tests over several months in Utrecht, Tenhaeff concluded that Croiset was one of the most remarkable subjects he had encountered,
and he devoted much time and energy to developing and testing Croiset's unusual abilities. As these abilities matured, Tenhaeff concluded that they
might be applied to solving social problems, and accordingly contacted Dutch police officials, who were sufficiently broadminded to cooperate.
Eventually Croiset was consulted regularly to assist in locating missing children or solving crimes, and his successes became widely known.

Tenhaeff's career rose along with that of Croiset. He quickly moved from his unsalaried position to instructor (1951) and full professor (1953)
at the Utrecht State University and then to director of the university's new Parapsychology Institute. In 1956 Croiset moved from Enschede, near
the German border of the Netherlands, to Utrecht, where he was more conveniently situated close to Tenhaeff and the institute.
To maintain himself and his family Croiset reestablished his spiritual healing clinic, but did not charge for his parapsychological work,
and even when consulted by police he paid his own traveling expenses. He did, however, sometimes charge individuals for private consultations.
