 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 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 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.
