I finished the revised edition of the book, Evidence of Animal Afterlife. It’s available on amazon. I put out the original book in May 2021. This revised edition is 2023. In terms of the changes I made, it’s a long list. I rewrote major portions of the book. I added footnotes to each chapter, so interested readers can track down sources. I fixed some typos and mistakes. I rearranged the contents so that they flow better. I excised some bits…
In my book, Evidence of Animal Afterlife, I reported finding 62 specific cases of animals in Near-Death Experiences. I noted that this number was “a vast underestimate of the actual number of NDE animal reports,” for several reasons, one of which was that the largest compendium of NDEs on record, nearly 5000 of them, exists on the nderf.org website, but the website is not searchable for stories specifically involving animals. Reading through 5000 detailed narratives in order to isolate animal…
In working on this blog, I’ve read a lot of books about animal afterlife. I’d like to highlight three of the best. Animals and the Afterlife, by Kim Sheridan. Animals and the Afterlife was clearly a labor of love. It spans about 400 pages and surveys a variety of areas of evidence. I’m grateful to Kim for doing all the work it entailed. Lo 15 years ago, it was the first book I ever read on animal afterlife. I…
I’m happy to say I finished writing Evidence of Animal Afterlife. I substantially rewrote all of the articles, added a bunch of new evidence, and wrote several new chapters. I am biased, but I think it’s a good, concise overview of the evidence for animal afterlife across about a dozen different areas, and it presents a number of good arguments for animal afterlife. It’s self-published, so it’s a humble effort, but I think that people who are interested in the…
To wrap up my survey of the evidence for animal afterlife, I’d like to briefly cover three remaining areas of evidence: physical mediumship, astral travel, and spirit photography. These areas don’t warrant separate articles, because the evidence isn’t as robust as it is elsewhere, but they deserve mention, because they add incrementally to the case for animal afterlife. Physical Mediumship Physical mediumship is a specialized type of mediumship. In it, a medium reportedly channels “ectoplasm,” which shapes itself into something…
There’s a common idea in the afterlife literature on animals, which I want to spend a bit of time taking apart. It is often said that when animals die, they return to Group Souls. The idea first popped up in the channeled literature of the 19th century and has periodically resurfaced since then. It gets passed around without much examination. The basic idea is that when animals die, they get re-absorbed back into a humungous Group Soul, which…
Because I wanted to present evidence and arguments for animal afterlife. If you’d like to get started, look at the menu bar above under “evidence” and “arguments.” If you’d like to know the backstory, keep reading. Why did I start this blog? The short answer is, to help spread the word about evidence for animal afterlife. A lot of people would like to believe, but they aren’t really sure. There is actually plenty of evidence of animal afterlife, but it…
