Surviving Death

Kean is an investigative journalist who applied the same method here she used on UFOs: Go to the best-documented cases, interview the researchers, report what holds up. That means young children with detailed verifiable memories of previous lives, work from the University of Virginia division that has collected thousands of such cases, near-death experiences with verified perceptions, and mediums tested under controlled conditions, including sittings she participated in herself. She’s explicit that she started as a skeptic and about which parts she can’t explain and which she can. Some of it will strain you and she doesn’t ask you to swallow it whole.
