Where Science Ends and Wonder Begins in Overlook, Dundee

Research on presentiment—the unconscious physiological response to future events—provides a scientific framework for some of the premonitions described in Physicians' Untold Stories. Dean Radin's studies at IONS, published in journals including the Journal of Scientific Exploration and Frontiers in Psychology, have demonstrated that physiological indicators (skin conductance, heart rate, pupil dilation) sometimes respond to randomly selected future stimuli before those stimuli are presented. For readers in Overlook, Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal, this research means that the physician premonitions in Dr. Kolbaba's collection are consistent with laboratory findings—they are not isolated anecdotes but instances of a phenomenon that has been detected under controlled experimental conditions.

When the fylgja departs before the patient does, the nurses know what's coming—and they're rarely wrong.
