Fun Fact
Strohm's "Afterlife" offers a fervent, if unconventional, exploration for those deeply invested in the reality of spirit contact. Its strength lies in its relentless collection of alleged true stories and a candid willingness to embrace various communication methods. However, readers seeking strictly scientific validation or critical analysis may find its approach too anecdotal. It firmly establishes itself within the popular paranormal investigation genre, offering comfort and intrigue to believers while challenging skeptics.

📝 Description: Afterlife: What Really Happens on the Other Side: True Stories of Contact and Communication with Spirits

What really happens after death? Follow the soul's journey as the last frontier of learning is investigated: the afterlife. Delve into the mysteries of earthbound ghosts, reincarnation, Heaven, Hell, messages from Spirit Guides, the concept of preordained events, and much more. As the author and a gifted clairvoyant explore afterlife communication via actual words of spirits and guides, find out what those on the other side have to say. Read an extensive historic interview with the spirit of Ulysses S. Grant. Visit the battlefields of Gettysburg to learn about a reincarnation, see spirit soldiers, and discover details of the bloody battle that killed so many. Using the Spirit Board, "Ghost Box," pendulum, and clairvoyant messaging, encounter the spirit of a Confederate soldier who does not realize he has passed and is still fighting the Civil War. Chat with members of the crew from the submarine Thresher that sunk in 1963. See photos of angels, apparitions, ghost animals, fairies, and other paranormal phenomena. Also included is reader instruction for improving supernatural experiences: taking paranormal photos, using equipment, and understanding the investigative process. Become a believer in or better understand the afterlife.

💎 Expert review

“
💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Strohm’s compilation serves as a vibrant anthology for enthusiasts of the occult but may disappoint those seeking rigorous scientific proof or deep metaphysical philosophy. The text relies heavily on anecdotal evidence and subjective spiritual encounters, which might feel unconvincing to hardline rationalists or academic researchers requiring empirical data. While the variety of spirit contact methods offers entertainment and intrigue, the lack of critical analysis means it functions more as a collection of curiosities than a definitive guide. It is best suited for casual readers interested in the sensational aspects of post-mortem communication rather than serious students of comparative religion or psychology who demand structured argumentation over whispered voices.
