Objective evidence of shared death experiences

Neuropsychiatrist Peter Fenwick verified these objective experiences of a patient’s death, as reported by a nurse in a hospital in England . . .

We had a male patient in a side ward: his prognosis wasn’t good, although death wasn’t deemed imminent. He had two relatives who had decided to stay the night, in case his condition worsened. They retired to an overnight room reserved for relatives.

Around 3:00 AM, I was chatting with another nurse at the nurse’s station, which was illuminated by a single light. When I saw a white mist at the end of the nursing station. It was there and it was gone. I immediately thought of a fire, perhaps from the kitchen a little way down the corridor. I walked to one end of the ward and my colleague went to the other end. She checked the side rooms and hurried to find me to say the man in question had died, seemingly only just.

We hurriedly phoned the Night Sister to rouse the sleeping relatives. While waiting for them to appear, more relatives of the deceased arrived. They told us they had woken suddenly at home and just felt the urge to visit the hospital, feeling something was wrong
