"Jesus was seen and heard by multiple people at different times, as well as at the same time. Jesus was the victim of violence. His presence instilled fear and doubt in some participants. He spoke fairly briefly and offered comfort before disappearing. He gave guidance, made requests, and issued commands. He seemed quite real and solid. He appeared and disappeared in unusual ways, such as walking through doors. His presence was not perceived as unusual at the beginning of His apparition, such as during the Emmaus walk. His appearance was so convincing that it resulted in the percipient’s change of conviction. And He was seen less as time passed. These are all things that have been reported by people in the aforementioned studies. There is nothing unusual about them when compared to other appearances of deceased ones."
