Default Oncologist and neurosurgeon encounter the spirit of a deceased patient

Two doctors who had never met both made reports of a crises apparition of the same patient within hours of that patients death.

VIDEO - WSMV Channel 4

Paranormal Review has an article on the case:

Doctors testify to patient's spirit return - Paranormal Review

An interesting case. We await convoluted explanation about the doctors concerned being part of medicine ministry or subject to a history of hallucinations.

I just read The Departed Among the Living by Erlendur Haraldsson. It is an excellent book about apparitions. It's good to see that apparition cases get more publicity and this case seems to be a very strong one. That woman's Christian fundamentalist belief was annoying though.

Especially the bit about proof that Christians get to have an afterlife.

Yeah, well, the forum's smiley quota is pretty limited.

4 is a bit stiff don't you think? I just had to delete one of yours just to be able to post!

I sympathize with all the flack Christians get, but this particular aspect of the doctrine they follow bothers me also. That said, what they believe and what I believe are less important than what will actually happen. Ultimately, we all find out. So, although I cringed a little that this woman took the faxes as signs to reinforce the exclusionary version of Christianity that she seemed to adhere to, the evidence it presents for an ADC is quite interesting and beautiful in its own right.

that's an awesome article - stories like this give me so much hope ... I just find myself questioning so many aspects of it - like if how can we trust these people aren't out for a bit of publicity etc etc... I guess we're conditioned to think this way, and in some ways it's good, but how do you get to the point you believe what they say actually happened if you get what I mean?

It's unlikely that two senior health care professionals would compromise their status in an aggressively secular business by making this stuff up. If they are born-again Christians skeptics will root the fact out, if they're not, we'll hear no more about it

Christian music isn't all bad, here's some C19th heavy metal (German site, the song's in English)
