There are a great number of recorded events which
testify to the survival of the personality after bodily
death. We cannot simply write off these events as
illusory. Just ponder upon the fact that the scratch
on the girl’s face was known only to her mother
and, presumably, to the deceased girl. There was no
third person who had any inkling of it. Such events
are not confined to Europe and America. But since
most of the latter-day investigations have been
carried out on those continents we find ourselves
obliged to refer to them, for the sake of having a
sufficiently large body of scientific evidence to draw
on. If people in our country were adventurous
enough to come forward and start such
investigations right here and now, a large number
of highly credible and sound pieces of evidence
could be collected.
Regarding another class of events C.J. Ducasse
observes:
Another class of occurrences asserted to
constitute empirical evidence of survival
