Death and its Mystery – After Death – Camille Flammarian
The following letter was sent me from Montbeliard, on March 26, 1899:
It was sixteen years ago, one month after my husband's death which occurred in August, 1883. One night, when I had awakened, I heard the door of my room open; then I heard steps and saw my dead husband draw near my bed. He pressed my right side to him, very hard, without saying a single word.
Astounded, I did not speak.
Then he went away, and I leaned out of my bed to watch him go (this proves, absolutely that I was awake.) I heard steps again, and heard the door close once more. Long afterward, I still felt pain in my side. I shall ask you to give only my initials in case you publish this.
C. H.
