Green Orbs, and a Luminous Cloud at Death

 On pages 89-91 of the book A Cavalcade of the Supernatural by Harold H. U. Cross, PhD, we have the following claims:

"At the Sydney circle, previously mentioned, there were always many manifestation of these wonderful lights, and the writer would describe them as balls of dull green fire, of various dimensions....The author, when on medical duty for the French Government at Tahiti during the terrible epidemic of Spanish influenza, watched at the bedside of a dying missionary and beheld a luminous cloud which enveloped the head and thorax of the patient. This was visible by candle light, and lasted about two hours; all who were near and the whole night staff saw the phenomenon. The author placed his hand in the cloud, and it became obscured as by a fog....As life departed the cloud gradually disappeared. Death was due to double pneumonia. At a distance from the man's bed, the cloud roughly resembled the conventional 'astral body.' "
