16.4: Phantasms of the Living

from Occult Confessions · host Robert Thompson

In 1886, Edmund Gurney, Frederic Myers, and Frank Podmore collected and edited over a thousand pages of cases of encounters with these phantoms. As a person was dying or about to get into a carriage accident, suddenly they would appear to a friend the next house over or maybe a thousand miles away. Stories of these phantasmic encounters were carefully researched and verified as far as the authors were able, and when verification was incomplete or impossible they noted it before sharing the narrative. To rule out the problem of misremembering or suggested memory, they sought out witnesses to these experiences; people who heard the tale when it first happened. They consulted calendars and retrieved death records and newspaper reports of accidents to verify details. Taken together, the hundreds of reports they received assumed a substantial weight as evidence for a phenomenon that science has chosen to ignore ever since.
