 My father
bought my mother a lovely musical clock decorated
with mother of pearl. Every quarter of an hour it
would play the tune 'Home Sweet Home'. When dad
died the clock was given to my son.
Soon
afterwards my son was taken seriously ill. We were
worrying about him when the clock started chiming
'Home Sweet Home'.
But it wouldn't stop and continued playing the song
without stopping. When the mechanism finally ran
down and we heard the final chime, my son died.
After
that event I hung the clock on the wall but could
never bring myself to wind it up again. However
a friend who took an interest in mending clocks
asked if he could fix it for me. He repaired it
and for a few months it hung on the wall working
perfectly.
Then
it went wrong again and the bad memories came flooding
back as it repeated 'Home Sweet Home' over and over
again. I rang my friend who had repaired it to be
told some bad news. At the very minute that the
clock had stopped his son had died from a heart
attack.

 People
often write to this column to say that a clock stopped
at the precise moment that a death has occurred.
Remarkably your clock did this not once but twice.
No wonder there are so many superstitions associated
with clocks and death.

PHANTOMS
OF THE LIVING
When
I was 15 years old, my family and I emigrated to
Ontario, Canada where my father worked in the Steel
plant. Dad was very ill and sick in bed when I went
with my friends to the youth club. On the way home
I said "Here comes Dad to meet us" There
was no mistaking him, a miner, short, bandy legged
with his flat cap on his head. I rushed towards
him, wondering how he had recovered so quickly but
as I approached, he was gone.
When
I got home he was in a coma and died a few hours
later. To this day, I believe that it was his departing
spirit that came to me to say Goodbye. I loved him
so much and will never forget this experience that
happened so long ago now.

The
Society of Psychical Research, that has since Victorian
times studied paranormal phenomena, were intrigued
by these so called phantoms of the living.
Today there are many studies being conducted by
doctors of the reports from people who have claimed
to have left their bodies during critical illness.
I agree with your own conclusion: your father was
able to say goodbye before he passed over.
