From earliest times, people have speculated about what happens when
they and their loved ones die. Their views vary from certainty
about life after death to utter disbelief. Today, many continue to
believe in the survival of consciousness after physical death with
some claiming actual experiences of the departed and contact with
them of some kind. In an era which we think of as the enlightened
era of science, education and widespread secularism, many people
report contact with dead. In a survey at the end of the 20th
century, 31% of people in the USA , reperted they had felt that
they had been in contact with some one who had died (Greeley 1975),
and in Europe the number was 25% (Haraldsson and Houtkooper 1991).
Scientist, Erlendur Haraldsson, a native of Iceland, sought an
answer to his question, "Have you ever been aware of the presence
of a deceased person?" In the modern and educated society of
Iceland, one of the Scandinavian countries; he conducted an
extensive survey. During the following years, detailed personal
interviews were conducted with over 450 people who responded with a
yes to questions about personal experiences of the deceased while
in a waking state. These accounts form the basis for this book. The
results are fascinating and make compelling reading.
