On a warm summer day in Derbyshire, England, in 1985, Jane Hunt, a bus driver's wife, began preparing her family's breakfast when her hands began to burn and itch. She dismissed it as a temporary irritation until later in the morning, when on her way to go shopping she was suddenly riveted with pain, as though thousands of needles were being driven through her hands. The pain was so intense, she rushed back to the house. The night before she went to bed. In front of her husband and daughter, blood started to well up from the unbroken skin in the middle of her palms. Jane Hunt had developed stigmata. Wilson examines many of the confirmed cases, including that of St. Francis, but argues against a religious interpretation of the phenomenon in favor of a medical and psychological explanation. He believes the power of the mindover matter can ultimately be harnessed for more rewarding ends, and he offers evidence of a close link between stigmata and the puzzling phenomena of multiple personality cases. While he dispels the myth of stigmatics as saints, Wilson's intriguing conclusions point to the dramatic ability of the mind to change the body, and offers the potential for fresh insights into the laws of nature.

In this controversial and provocative book, Ian Wilson investigates the compelling question of whether there is life after death. His research is based on riveting real-life experiences.To the die-hard skeptic they will be dismissed out-of-hand as no more than the hallucinations of the dying mind. But are they? Is there a link with the curious reported premortem visions and voices that are sometimes claimed by the dying? Is there perhaps a link with the all too little-understood phenomena of ghosts?Ian Wilson explores every aspect of the near-death experience: the floating "out of the body", the meeting with deceased relatives, encounters with a God or Christ-like "Being of Light", the "going back" to physical life -- not least, the subsequent conviction of the reality of some life beyond the grave.Comprehensive in scope, this book puts the case for the after life with new, convincingly argued evidence. It is the ultimate book on life after death.
