Hey Draco, I think I might have something that'll interest you:

To put it in short terms, TC Lethbridge believed in the concept that objects could store emotions, memories, basically any kind of information about its surroundings or the people involved with it. I'm reading the pendulum chapter of the PDF, and an example used was a watch chain that tells a dowser that its owner got involved with a dancer, or that a sling-stone still held the anger of its thrower even after thousands of years. Pretty similar to artifacts, right?

The concept of Psychometry is also kinda similar to his idea, which is sensing/gaining information via direct contact with an object, sort of like a psychic medium.
