poliphilo Friend 1 had her partner appear to her a couple of weeks after his death.
He was there for an instant, dressed in the outfit he'd worn to the funeral.
She told a friend and the friend said, "Have you any idea how hard it was for him to do that?"
Friend 2 saw The Doors performing live at the Roundhouse.
