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 I 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 Good-bye. I loved him so much and will
never forget this experience that happened so long ago now.

Craig's reply:
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 good-bye before he passed over.
