“…For cases of spontaneous anomalous experience during bereavement to become of interest to theorists and researchers of survival, we would expect there to be key features of the experience which would suggest something more than a subjective nature and perhaps purely illusory creation (created either consciously or unconsciously due to loss and longing for the deceased's return)this is in accordance with the conclusions made by Gurney and Myers (1889). Even though there is a large amount of literature and research, documenting and discussing accounts of anomalous phenomena suggesting survival (to cite but a few: Baird, 1944;Berger, 1988;Betty, 2016;Fontana, 2005;Gurney, Myers, & Podmore, 1886;McAdams & Bayless, 1981;Myers, 1903;Robertson, 2013;Rogo, 1986;Thomas, 1929) the case for survival as a whole is far too extensive to discuss in any depth or fair summary in a single book chapter (as previously noted by Gauld, 2005). However, here we are specifically concerned with cases suggesting survival during a period that could be considered bereavement for the experient, which are arguably limited within the available literature against other cases suggestive of survival (e.g., experiences prior to the knowledge of loss, mediumship, reincarnation events).…”
