Dr Robert Crookall - More Astral projections
Case No. 311 - Mrs M. Veitch, of Redcar, sent the following to the Daily Sketch (Oct. 9, 1960):
"I became very ill and was slowly slipping away. I was unconscious, yet suddenly seemed to be awake. I felt no pain, but knew I was dying. I said, 'Goodbye, Bill! (my husband). Don't be afraid to die, there's nothing to be afraid of'
Then I began to float. Suddenly I was looking down at myself on the bed. I didn't get frightened. -It was just like looking at yourself in a mirror. I knew it wasn't the real me. Then I started to float again.
There was a mist all around me and I couldn't see anything, but I knew there were birds and flowers there. Then a lane appeared and a gate at the end of the lane. A figure appeared in a blue robe at the other side of the gate. I didn't want to die. I had too much to live for. I said, 'Please don't let me die! 'The figure slowly raised her hand and I began to float back. I opened my eyes. Someone said How do you feel?' I said, 'I am all right now'."
