Deathbed phenomena
Deathbed phenomena is many experiences seen by people who are dying. There are many examples of deathbed phenomena in both non-fiction and fictional literature.
In scientific literature, they have been called as death-related sensory experiences (DRSE).[1] Dying patients have reported to staff working in hospices they have experienced comforting visions.[2][3]
Modern scientists think that the deathbed phenomena and visions are hallucinations.[4][5][6]
