13, Park Street, Windsor. February 22nd, 1884. I will copy the memorandum which I made in my diary just after the death of my dear friend and connection, Mrs. L. 1 Comijare case 666, and see p. 105, second note. July 28th, 1881. Just after dear Mrs. L.'s death between 2 and 3 a.m., I heard a most sweet and singular strain of singing outside the windows ; it died away after passing the house. All in the room heard it, and the medical attendant, who was still with us, went to the window as I did, and looked out, but there was nobody. It was a bright and beautiful night. It was as if several voices were singing in perfect unison a most sweet melody, which died away in the distance. Two persons had gone from the room to fetch something, and were coming upstairs at the hach of the house, and heard the singing and stopped, saying, ' What is that singing ? ' They could not naturally have heard any sound outside the windows in the front of the house from where they were. I cannot think that any explanation can be given to this — as I think — supernatural singing ; but it would be very interesting to me to know what is said by those who have made such matters a subject of study.

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.
