In a previous post "Did Their Trances Give Them Trips to Heaven?" I gave newspaper accounts of people who reported something like trips to heaven after being in some kind of trance, often one produced by some kind of sickness. Let us look at some more cases of the this type.
The January 27, 1900 newspaper account below (which you can read here) tells of a trance experience of Mrs. Mahlon Gause:
A similar account (involving the experience of Cora Matton) can be found in this 1891 account which can be read here.
In the newspaper account here, we have an account of a trance trip to heaven, one made by Luella Cameron:
In the newspaper account here, we have another account of a trance trip to heaven, one made by Eliza Wright:
In the newspaper account here, we have another account of a trance trip to heaven, one made by Ida Sharp:
We read here of a minister who went into a trance and claimed to have gone on a journey to heaven:
"After lying as in a trance on the pulpit platform from one o'clock to 5:40 o'clock in the afternoon, Pastor Brown emerged from his mysterious slumber, weakly crumpled into a seat, and later on when he had recovered his strength he related that he really had been to
heaven, that he had met many former Wilmingtonians including Bishop Cook, the Rev. Dr. Skinner and others whom he mentioned by name. He told of some of the beauteous scenes there, and announced that he would return to the church next Sunday and tell in detail of his pilgrimage to the haven or rest, 'It would take me a year to tell all I saw, ' he declared."
Below is an account of a woman near death (Mrs. Alexander Taylor) claiming to have visited heaven during a trance-like close encounter with death. You can read the account here.
On the same page as the first account quoted above, we have this remarkable account of telepathy between twins.
