Sir William Fletcher Barrett spent over half a century in psychical research, during which time he observed and documented a variety of different types of psychic phenomena and activity. His work has been credited with demonstrating the existence of the invisible and unseen spiritual world, including the survival of consciousness after the death of the physical body. A recognised and respected force behind the Society For Psychical research, this book provides some interesting insights into near death experiences, and includes accounts from those present at the time of death.
