Chris Carter on the Evidence for Life After Death
In this episode, I sit down with Chris Carter, author of The Case for the Afterlife, to talk about what happens when we die and why the evidence for life beyond death is a lot stronger than mainstream science wants to admit.
What happens after we die? Is consciousness created by the brain, or does it continue beyond physical death?
In this episode of the NVUS Alien Podcast, Heather Woodward speaks with Chris Carter, author of The Case for the Afterlife, about decades of scientific research into survival of consciousness, near-death experiences, mediumship, apparitions, and psychical phenomena.
After a series of personal experiences challenged his skeptical worldview, Carter began studying historical and modern research on life after death, including investigations conducted by the Society for Psychical Research and other organizations dedicated to exploring consciousness beyond the material world.
In this episode
- Chris Carter's journey from skeptic to afterlife researcher
- Scientific investigations into near-death experiences and apparitions
- The phenomenon of terminal lucidity and its implications for consciousness
- Research on evidential mediumship and survival after death
- Historical studies conducted by the Society for Psychical Research
- The famous "cross correspondences" and other notable psychical investigations
- A discussion of the chess game reportedly completed through mediumship
- Why research into consciousness and survival remains controversial within mainstream science
Together, Heather and Chris explore the growing body of evidence that has fueled the debate over whether consciousness can exist independently of the brain. Rather than relying solely on belief, the conversation examines documented cases, historical investigations, and the challenges researchers have faced in bringing this work into the scientific mainstream.
Whether you're interested in life after death, consciousness research, near-death experiences (NDEs), evidential mediumship, psychical research, parapsychology, or the philosophy of mind, this episode offers an in-depth look at one of humanity's oldest and most profound questions.
Chris Carter is an Oxford-trained philosopher and is the author of four highly acclaimed books and several scholarly articles. His latest book is The Case for the Afterlife , which argues that the case for the afterlife can be proven beyond all reasonable doubt, entirely on the basis of evidence.
