Don Bosco often had apparitions of the afterlife. One of his pupils, Joseph Perazzo, said:
My father's death saddened me very much, and I kept wishing to know of his state in the other world. Once, after confession, I asked Don Bosco to pray for my father. "I have seen him," Don Bosco replied. He then proceeded to describe him so minutely and accurately that I exclaimed, "Yes, that's my father; that's the way he used to dress."
"Well," Don Bosco went on, "he’s still in purgatory. Pray for him, and soon he'll be in heaven." The amazing thing is that Don Bosco had never seen or known the boy's father in this life.
But a far more frightening specter appeared to one of Don Bosco's parishioners around All Souls Day in 1865. Its lesson is timeless and he gave a chilling account of the event to his Oratory boys, resulting in one of the most remarkable Good Night Talks in the school's history.
