This episode was worth the listen, even if only for the quote at the end. I rewound this more than 10 times to hear it. If you don't listen to the episode, at least read the narrator's take on death, as he closed the tale:

"Why couldn't it be that the soul lingers for a while? As long as no one really knows for sure what the soul does when stripped of its body, why not pretend? Why not imagine that it leaves the body gracefully and a little regretfully, pausing to consider what it is losing, before dashing off to see what it is gaining."
