I have an even more eerie (eerier?) example: I rememeber a family
friend whose husband had recently died saying that she could still feel
his presence about the house.

Yet all these examples appear to me to be better explained as instances
of a form of physiological or psichological inertia than as indications
of the existence of some form of meta reality.
