I showed my fellow-apprentice my night-shirt, which was wet with perspiration from covering my head over with the bedclothes ; his evidence would be more valuable than my brother's but I have not the remotest knowledge as to where he is, not having seen or heard anything of him for nearly forty years.

It was the same night that she made me conscious of her presence, and also of her death. The Register of Deaths confirms the date given. [Mr. Everitt has since had one other auditory hallucination, which also represented his mother's voice.]

I am more inclined to think that I heard of it within a day or two after it happened, and that if I added the date 1880, it must have been the date of my copying it into my notebook from som…

This is a witness statement collected in the 1880s by Edmund Gurney, Frederic Myers and Frank Podmore of the Society for Psychical Research, and published in Phantasms of the Living (1886), the first large scientific collection of such testimony. Witnesses signed their statements and were often corroborated by others, whose statements appear as their own accounts. The book is in the public domain; the text is verbatim save for scanning artifacts, and the full volumes are at archive.org.
