5837. ABOUT RESURRECTION

I have spoken with some acquaintances three days after their death, with Silverstrom, with Polhem, 1 with Brita Behm, 2 with the minister of justice, and with others known to me by reputation, several weeks after their death. They were present and saw their own funeral rites, and they saw everything.
