Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death

In this episode I am reading from 'Death Bed Visions' by Sir William Barrett
First published in 1926, Death Bed Visions by Sir William Barrett remains one of the most fascinating early investigations into the possibility that human consciousness survives physical death. Drawing on accounts from doctors, nurses, relatives and others who witnessed the final
Some of the most intriguing cases involve people who appear to recognise deceased friends or relatives, including individuals whose deaths they had not been told about. Barrett was particularly interested in accounts containing details that seemed difficult to explain through ordinary knowledge, coincidence or imagination. Rather than relying on personal beliefs, he sought testimony from those who had directly witnessed these events, preserving their observations for future generations.
Sir William Barrett was a respected physicist and one of the founders of the Society for Psychical Research, an organisation established in 1882 to investigate unusual human experiences through systematic enquiry. His scientific background and interest in psychical research led him to examine subjects that were often dismissed or overlooked by the wider academic community. Death Bed Visions was published shortly after his death and became an important contribution to the early study of survival after death.
A century later, Barrett's work remains surprisingly relevant. Advances in medicine have transformed our understanding of the dying process, yet important questions about the nature of consciousness remain unresolved. His collection of eyewitness accounts provides a valuable historical perspective on experiences that continue to attract the attention of researchers, medical professionals and those interested in the possibility of an afterlife.
As the original book is now in the public domain, I'm able to share this historical work with listeners. Rather than summarising or interpreting the cases, I'll be presenting Barrett's original words, allowing you to hear the evidence as he assembled it and reach your own conclusions.

This week I'm talking to Laura Bruno about her book 'The Astrology of NDEs: What the Sky Reveals about Near-Death Experiences and Those Who Have Them'
Are some people destined to have a near-death experience? Do souls plan ahead for life-changing visits to the other world? The Astrology of NDEs explores how movements in the heavens track with these powerful inner journeys. Uncanny patterns in the stars reveal an intricate dance between consciousness and the cosmos. From luminaries like Eben Alexander, Raymond Moody, and P.M.H. Atwater to never-before-told stories, Laura Bruno weaves a compelling tale of transformation at the highest and deepest levels. This is a groundbreaking work for both astrology and near-death studies.
Bio
Laura Bruno is an astrologer, intuitive life coach, Reiki Master Teacher, and author with a lifetime of precognitive dreams and paranormal experiences. Her veil between worlds has always been thin.
On the verge of beginning a PhD program in English Literature, Laura suffered a 1998 brain injury that dramatically altered the course of her life. Instead of reading books, she began to read people's energy. Four years of near-total disability initiated her into yoga, deep meditation, shamanic journeys, and a world of uncanny synchronicity—shifting her intended life path from professor of English Literature to a very different type of “reader.”
Laura's first novel (2009), "Schizandra and the Gates of Mu," combines her expertise in natural healing, synchronicity, and expanded consciousness, offering deep personal healing in the guise of a fast-paced paranormal novel. In "The Astrology of NDEs" (2026), she profiles famous and unknown near-death experiencers--revealing a complex dance between heaven and earth at the threshold of life and death.

Bio
Since I was just 3 years old, I've had a remarkable sensitivity to spirits. This extraordinary gift allows me to connect with energies that go beyond the physical world, acting as a bridge between the living and the departed. I find fulfilment in offering solace, resolution, and guidance to those trying to reach out to their loved ones. Frequently, I experience glimpses into the intangible realm, receiving vivid images, visions, and symbols that provide deep insights. Through these experiences, I can visualize loved ones and significant moments, which helps me communicate profound messages from the spirits. This unique ability enables me to gather precise, visual information, as spirits often share specific details about their lives or present intricate imagery, like the contents of a person’s wardrobe. I truly value the understanding that every message, no matter how complex, carries significant meaning.

In this episode I'm talking to Tricia Robertson about her book 'More Things you Can do When You’re Dead: What Can You Truly Believe?'
In this eagerly awaited sequel to her successful book, Things You Can Do When You’re Dead, foremost psychical investigator Tricia Robertson digs deeper into her extensive casebook to discuss a wide range of physical and mental phenomena which provide evidence for survival after death. Yet again this book is written with a no-nonsense approach to phenomena and in a knowledgeable, enjoyable, easily understood style.
Book one really fired up people’s appetite for more about paranormal phenomena in general and survival in particular. More Things You Can Do When You’re Dead examines more cases of genuine poltergeist activity, apparitions, mediumship, paranormal healing and reincarnation, but also digs a bit deeper into direct voice mediumship, drop-in communicators, psychic art, near-death experiences, materialised spirit figures, earthbound spirits, automatic writing, inspiration, obsession, possession, genius and informed discussion on what an afterlife may be like. Tricia also discusses science and psi and resistance, in general, to the acceptance of the reality of such clearly demonstrable events.
This book contains a great deal of original material, humourous at times, which is not available anywhere else.
You may love it, you may hate it, but once again you will certainly not be bored.
