Much as my eyeball muscles ache from all the rolling whenever I read anything from Wortfish, I had a very similar experience when my dog died, several times over several days with decreasing frequency and intensity until it subsided completely.
I hasten to add that in no way do I think it was supernatural in any way, but it was interesting to note.
I'd had the dog for only two years, and he and I had formed a very close bond. When he died after a short illness, it was terrible. I had never known grief like it, or even known that grief could be that bad.
It definitely fucked with my mind. I 'saw' him frequently for a few days after he died, during normal daylight and not under the influence of any substances.
Obviously when I looked again he wasn't there. It was quite a surprise, but even after the first time, I realised what was going on, and sure enough the effect wore off as the intensity of the grief subsided.
The difference between myself and Wortfish in this respect is that I would require much better evidence that my dog somehow lived on, than a few brief hallucinations that had a perfectly simple explanation.
