About the author
Erlendur Haraldsson was an Icelandic psychologist and professor at the University of Iceland known for decades of empirical research into claims of paranormal experience, including apparitions, deathbed visions, and children who report memories of previous lives. His books At the Hour of Death and The Departed Among the Living, both published by White Crow Books, present case collections and survey data gathered from patients, medical staff, and families, examining reported encounters with the dying and the dead. Rather than arguing from belief, Haraldsson approached these accounts as a subject for systematic study, comparing reports across cultures and testing them against medical and psychological explanations. His work is cited in parapsychology and survival-research literature, and these two titles remain among his best-known books for general readers interested in near-death and afterlife testimony.
