I see (feel, smell, sense, etc.) dead people... (1 Viewer)

A lady I work with's father-in-law has been living in the house with her family for ~10 years. He was 91 and had his own full apartment downstairs in the basement. Two weeks ago things turned bad and he was in the hospital for a week. The news wasn't good and they decided to bring him home with some sort of hospice care (not sure how that works). He wasn't eating, it seemed near the end, etc. Anyway, last week the lady's sister-in-law spent the night with the FIL. At some point in the wee hours of the night/morning she left the room and when she came back in she "glimpsed" a man standing next to the FIL's bed. It was only for a second, and then he was gone, but it was long enough for her to recognize him as the FIL's older brother who died ~20 years ago. Later that morning the FIL passed away.
ok
so that's how it works - dead next of kin is used as a one time grim reaper.
Wonder who will get sent back for me? Probably my uncle. He was a ####.
I wonder if it is something you volunteer for or is it like jury duty.
For me, it can be anyone. Even Otis, trying to collect the $1 I own him for the 2012 election.

So he could pry it from your cold dead hands?

Why? I don't have his dollar.

Maybe there's a central dispatch.

"Hey Jim, we've got a call bedside for a soon-to-be-deceased. You're in the area. It's over on Laurel Avenue, the number is 5032ooooooooooooooooo!"

 
Science!

Ever feel like there’s a ghost in the room? Researchers studying a dozen patients with neurological conditions say they’ve figured out where that "feeling of a presence" phenomenon comes from. And now they’ve built a robot that recreates that very same feeling, just by sending mixed-up sensory and motor signals to the brain. The work was published in Current Biology this week.
