REUNIONS: Visionary Encounters With the Dead
The second edition of Reunions by Raymond Moody and Paul Perry isn’t just a reprint. It’s a renewed invitation to explore one of the most mysterious and emotionally powerful experiences known to the grieving: the mirror encounter.
In the early 1990s, Dr. Moody began constructing what he called a psychomanteum — a dark, silent chamber inspired by the ancient Greek oracles of the dead. Inside, participants would sit in a contemplative state, gazing into a mirror for extended periods. What many of them saw was astonishing: vivid, emotional visions of loved ones who had died.
Some people saw parents. Others saw siblings or children. Several described a full sense of presence — the feeling that someone was in the room with them. A few even reported physical sensations, such as the touch of a hand, or being hugged.
These weren’t hallucinations. They were consistent, transformative experiences that often brought resolution to years of unresolved grief.
In this expanded second edition of Reunions, Moody and Perry revisit these early breakthroughs and share many new stories from those who have stepped into the mirror chamber and come out changed. They also provide historical background on the practice of mirror gazing, its connection to ancient rituals, and step-by-step instructions for building your own psychomanteum at home.
“Although I was familiar with the research on ‘feeling’ ghosts in the scientific literature,” Moody writes, “I didn’t expect it to happen with the participants of this study. It happened not only to this subject but to others as well.”
The book is not about fantasy. It’s about the human heart — and the possibility that healing can sometimes come from beyond the veil.
