Description

First published in 1922, this book contains the second volume of Nicolas Camille Flammarion’s “Death and its Mystery”, which deals with the age-old question of what happens when you die. In this volume, Flammarion concentrates on the actual moment of death and the phenomenon of people experiencing visions, apparitions, and manifestations of the dying at the precise moment of their passing. This fascinating book explores various historical cases of such purported experiences and attempts to examine their validity in light of scientific facts. Contents include: “The Positive Method”, “Phantasms of the Living”, “Thought as a Generator of Images Projected to a Distance”, “Apparitions of the Dying Some Time Before Death”, “Manifestations of the Dying Some Time Before Death”, “The Visioning of Death Scenes”, “Various Warnings Preceding or Announcing Death”, “Mental Impressions of Deaths of Accidents at a Distance”, “Deaths Announced by Noises, Blows Struck, by an Unexplained Uproar, by Physical Phenomena”, etc. Nicolas Camille Flammarion FRAS (1842–1925) was a French author and astronomer.
