Many people are able to anticipate their death. There are many examples of this that are usually attributed to the field of mysticism. And what do scientists say about this?
Feel death
It is understandable when a seriously ill person has a premonition that he will soon die. But in some cases, there seem to be no prerequisites for thoughts about death, but later it turns out that people were directly or indirectly aware of their imminent death.
Paranormal researcher Aniela Jaffe in her book Visions and Predictions gives the following case. Two schoolchildren stood at the well and looked at the water below. Suddenly one of them said: “How can I lie there at the bottom when I am standing here? So I died? The next day, the lifeless body of the boy was found in the same well: for some reason he went there alone, apparently, bent too far over the edge of the log house, fell into the water and drowned …
Episodes of apprehension have occurred repeatedly in the war. The soldiers often had a presentiment of imminent death.
Thus, the former commander of the mortar crew Dmitry Fedorovich Troinin recalled: “I noticed: if at the front
someone yearned for home or for family and shared his longing with one of his comrades, a true omen - not today or tomorrow they will kill him.

It happens that a person drops a seemingly random phrase about death, nevertheless it turns out to be prophetic. As Grigory Doronin from Sergiev Posad said, his wife, who was only 20 years old, came home from work in the evening and casually dropped the phrase: "How tired I am, maybe I will rest in the next world." And the next day we got into a car accident. My wife died, but I survived,”recalls Grigory.
And here is a letter from Inna P. from Samara: “Last summer, my husband and I came to the city where I was born and grew up to live with my parents for some time. Once, standing on the balcony and looking at the landscape overlooking the Volga, he suddenly said: "Will you believe that I will die here?" Of course, I was surprised at this question - my husband was absolutely healthy. But after a few weeks he died suddenly of a heart failure."
Apparently, these people had a presentiment, felt something, and this manifested itself on the verbal level …
"Black mark" in the aura
Can such incidents be explained from the point of view of science? Employees of the experimental laboratory of energy information security at the Russian Academy of Sciences for several years have been studying the energy information field (aura) of people who were seriously injured in various accidents and disasters and then for a long time were on the verge of life and death. The researchers concluded that in the aura of each of the subjects there is a certain energy "mark" associated with the injury. In pictures using the Kirlian method (we are talking about the well-known photographic method of infrared photography, discovered in 1939 by the Kirlian spouses, with the help of which one can supposedly view the energy aura around any living creature), it looks like a dark spot. Therefore, scientists have dubbed it "black mark".
According to one of the leaders of the laboratory, Valery Sokolov, the "black mark" can be a kind of "energy microbe", a living and, possibly, even thinking substance, which, having infiltrated into the human aura, begins to destroy it, just like ordinary microbes destroy our body. This can lead not only to illness, but also to accidents, often fatal.
As for forebodings, we can assume that at a certain stage, the "black mark" is already beginning to be fixed by consciousness and the person realizes that he will soon die.
Preparing for death
American physicians William Green, Stephen Goldstein and
Alex Moss studied thousands of case histories of patients who suddenly died. From the data it followed that most of them had a premonition of death. This was evidenced by their actions shortly before their death - for example, the desire to put things in order.
In addition, it turned out that before death, many experienced depression, which lasted from a week to six months. Doctors suggested that it was caused by hormonal changes, the function of which was to prepare the central nervous system and psyche for death.
Dr. Morton E. Lieberman of the Preitzker School of Medicine has developed a system of tests to help determine if a person is about to die.
The study, which lasted three years, involved 80 men and women aged 65 to 91 years. Within a year of completing the study, half of the subjects died. Then Lieberman compared the test results of those who died and those who survived. According to these data, those who died during life showed poorer cognitive test scores, a lower level of introspection and less activity. They were less aggressive and persistent than those who remained alive, but they showed more submission and dependence. In addition, a year before their death, the first group showed signs of awareness of the approaching death - for example, they interpreted the drawings shown to them as stories about death.
"Several patients told me, 'I won't live a year," says Dr. Lieberman, "and they were right."
It remains only to think about what to do with this information. If we can learn to predict our own death, will it benefit us? The question is rather controversial.
