During his 50 years of psychical research, Sir William Fletcher
Barrett (February 10, 1884 - May 26, 1925) observed many types of
phenomena. In his reminiscences, read at a private meeting of the
Society for Psychical Research (SPR) on June 17, 1924, less than a
year before his death, Barrett said: "I am personally convinced
that the evidence we have published decidedly demonstrates (1) the
existence of a spiritual world, (2) survival after death, and (3)
of occasional communication from those who have passed over...It is
however hardly possible to convey to others who have not had a
similar experience an adequate idea of the strength and cumulative
force of the evidence that has compelled [my] belief." Barrett was
the prime-mover in the founding of the SPR in 1882, serving as
vice-president and editor of the Society's Journal during its first
year and president in 1904. He also encouraged Professor William
James of Harvard to organize the American branch of the SPR in
1884. In this book, Deathbed Visions, first published in 1926, the
year after his death, Barrett reported on a number of intriguing
cases in which a dying person appears to see and recognize some
deceased relative or friend, some of them involving instances where
the dying person was unaware of the previous death of the spirit
form he saw. "These cases form, perhaps, one of the most cogent
arguments for survival after death, as the evidential value and
veridical (truth telling) character of these visions of the dying
is greatly enhanced when the fact is undeniably established that
the dying person was wholly ignorant of the decease of the person
he or she so vividly sees," Barrett stated in the book, now
something of a classic in the field.
