Heather Cass’s “In a Church Window”

in Superstition: Folklore from Bay Area Families

My mother’s uncle, J.B., died of shock in 1979, and at his funeral, his daughter Debbie touched his face and his eyes flew open.

A week after he had been dead, Debbie and my mother were at a country church next door in which the spirit of God came through all of the people. Some of them fell on the floor and spoke in a language no one understood. My mother and Debbie were scared, so they left the church and went back to their house next door.

On the way, they looked back toward the church, and way up in the window of the church, they both saw J.B., who had been dead for a week.
