One woman’s story of life beyond death

Janis Heaphy Durham was not the kind of person who believed in after-death communication, until her husband, Max, died. And that, Durham says, is when things started getting weird: Lights in her Sacramento home would flicker; clocks would stop at the moment Max died. And then the mysterious handprint appeared on her bathroom mirror. Tracy Smith reports on the paranormal activity at the heart of a new book, “The Hand on the Mirror.”
