Deathly Visitors - Apparitions at or After Death

By St. John D. Seymour

What happens when the dying appear to those they love, miles away, at the very hour of their passing? Here a careful Irish scholar gathers the documented cases of the wraith and the fetch.

Assembled by the Reverend St John D. Seymour from the archive behind his celebrated True Irish Ghost Stories (1914), this volume concentrates on one haunting category of report: the crisis apparition, in which a person is seen, heard, or sensed by a distant friend or relative at the moment of their death. Seymour sets down each account with the restraint of an antiquary, drawing on the testimony of clergy, gentry, and ordinary households across Ireland and beyond.

This edition features:
