@dream_decoder I am so sorry you had that happen
It has depressed me somewhat.I'm not sure what's Fortean about this thread, but it does make me worry for humanity. Or worry for the side of humanity who get preyed upon by the other side.
Deathbed wishes denied can result in Fortean goings on. The before, during, and after of death can lead to much pondering tending to the Fortean.I'm not sure what's Fortean about this thread, but it does make me worry for humanity.

If there is an after death I rather hope it can be used more constructively than revenge on errant beneficiaries.It does show how important it is to return in spirit form after death, to make sure your relatives didn't mess up.
But if you’ve got all the time that will ever exist then you have time to do things just for a laugh!If there is an after death I rather hope it can be used more constructively than revenge on errant beneficiaries.
Now I want to have a discussion on whether the afterlife has a time continuum in sync with our physical universe, but it's the wrong end of the morningBut if you’ve got all the time that will ever exist then you have time to do things just for a laugh!
It was very strange to have been privy to this end stage of this mans life when he and I never passed a word between us. Bit like being in the audience of a short drama.
I know exactly what you mean. When I was recovering from my operation and still in hospital, there was an elderly lady in the bed on the other side of the ward who, one day, was told that she had cancer which wasn't curable. Me and the rest of the patients on the ward were stunned when we could hear all of this coming from the closed curtain around her bed, which offered her no privacy whatsoever.
I still can't believe that she wasn't wheeled to another room to be told more privately. I would hate to be told something like that in full earshot of strangers.
Something similar happened when my stepdaughter was in hospital in London. I was sitting with her when a doctor came to tell the woman in the bed opposite that her ovarian cancer had spread, and there was nothing more they could do for her. They drew the side curtains but not the one at the foot of the bed so I could see and hear everything. It was the coldest, most horrible way to break this to her, and the doctor spoke to her as though she was an idiot. The doctor then walked away leaving her to break the news to her (late teen/early 20’s) sons when they arrived shortly after. It was a terrible situation- I wanted to go and speak to her, see if there was anyone I could call for her or whatever, but I was too cowardly. That was eight years ago and it’s something that will stick with me forever.
I sympathise with your dilemma.
My conscience still troubles me over an incident in Bristol (sorry this is somewhat off-topic). Was walking home to a hotel from a pub session with colleagues during a seminar. Passing another pub a young girl came out somewhat hurriedly and asked me to see her home. She could have been anywhere between 14 and 21 and although I did in fact know where she was asking to go I cowardly said 'I'm a visitor, I don't know the town'. I was in my late 50's at the time and selfishly thinking all the trouble i could be in if she was in fact under age or working a scam.
But maybe she was scared and genuine and something terrible may have happened to her, I don't know. What a wimp I was.
My dad saw his mother at the end of his bed in the days leading up to his death. A couple of days prior to his passing he commented that the lady passing his bed looked “just like mum” and very close to the end he looked towards the bottom of his bed and desperately cried and reached out for her.Deathbed wishes denied can result in Fortean goings on.

Admittedly he was off his face on morphine at the time so it could have been the drugs.
