Swedenborg’s remote viewing
The philosopher Immanuel Kant wrote that a friend of his was witness in 1756 (it was actually 1759), on a Saturday in late February, at about 6 pm, to an extraordinary occurrence in the town of Gottenburg. 

Swedenborg had become agitated. He described in perfect detail a large fire that he said was burning in Stockholm, and that the house of his friend was burnt down, and his own was in danger. On the Monday evening, the news reached Swedenborg and his friends in Gottenburg that every detail as described by the esoteric philosopher was perfectly correct. Kant's information of the event led him to believe it completely.
