Line 36:
* This troper read a book about a kid who was murdered, but his ghost didn't realize it. He went through an entire school day wondering why nobody could see him or hear him, and then he found out about his murder. The rest of the book was spent with him observing the investigation of his murder and how those he knew reacted to his death. It took place in Canada, this troper thinks. Anybody know what this troper's talking about?
* In ''[[Discworld/Moving Pictures|Moving Pictures]]'', Gaspode is having one when rescued.
== Live Action TV ==
* An entire episode of ''[[
* ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'' manages to kill off its [[Narrator]] at the start of the first episode. She continues narrating, giving us glimpses into the personal lives of her still-living friends that they don't get to see in each other. She actually appears to Lynnette in one episode.
* [[MacGyver]] spends an episode in spiritual limbo after the bad guys first put him into a coma, and then try to poison his bed-ridden body. He escapes through the aid of a recently-deceased relative.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* Subverted in an episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'': as various doctors are around a man's body (masking it from view) and finally saying that they lost him, a man walks up and begins to talk about how seeing himself die like that was strange. He even starts giving a speech about death itself...until J.D. comes up and angrily reminds him that he's not dead, just insane.
** However, there is also an episode that plays it straight: J.D. gets sick and has to undergo surgery where he has an out-of-body experience looking over Turk's shoulder as he's operating. Turk asks him (though "the ghost" isn't seen) to go away because he can't concentrate.
* The season two episode "Epiphanies" gave ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]''{{'}}s on-the-brink-of-death Laura Roslin the chance to remember [[The End of the World as We Know It]]. It was the day she got told she had terminal breast cancer, got dumped ''and'' fired by the former President, stopped a union crisis, listened as the Cylons nuked her homeworld, got sworn in as the new President, and left a whole bunch of people in the hands of the Cylons. Oh, and she figured out Gaius Baltar betrayed everyone because he was making out with a known Cylon. 'Cept she can't prove it. {{spoiler|Luckily, she said [[Screw Destiny]] and woke the heck up due to some hybrid blood from the extra-special baby Sharon was carrying.}}
* Dean of ''[[Supernatural]]'' did this while in a coma in the season 2 premiere, and his brother used a Ouija board to communicate with him.
* In ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', episode "Meridian", Dr. Jackson lies dying of radiation poisoning. While the other characters take turns sitting at his bedside, he is in deep conversation with [[Energy Beings|Oma Desala]] about whether he is satisfied with the life he led or not. Eventually, he makes himself visible to Jack to tell him to let him die. Then he walks through the active Stargate and [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|ascends.]]
