What happens when the dying appear to those they love, miles away, at the very hour of their passing? Here a careful Irish scholar gathers the documented cases of the wraith and the fetch.
Assembled by the Reverend St John D. Seymour from the archive behind his celebrated True Irish Ghost Stories (1914), this volume concentrates on one haunting category of report: the crisis apparition, in which a person is seen, heard, or sensed by a distant friend or relative at the moment of their death. Seymour sets down each account with the restraint of an antiquary, drawing on the testimony of clergy, gentry, and ordinary households across Ireland and beyond.
This edition features:
- Documented cases of the double or wraith seen at the precise hour of a distant person's passing
- Testimony weighed for credibility, from clergymen, landed families, and everyday Irish households alike
- Material drawn from the archive behind Seymour and Neligan's landmark 1914 collection of Irish ghost lore
- A focused study of the crisis apparition within the wider field of the paranormal and popular belief
