Hello Hollywood & Media Writers! - Check this out!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Soul to Soulmate comes at a time when the world desperately needs more love.  This book tells you how to find your soulmate or if you already have a mate, this book tells you how to transform the relationship into one of ultimate love and respect.  As with all relationships, nothing is simple.  There are three portions in the book to understand the basis of human consciousness and behavior, the psychology of relationships and love, and then how to find your soulmate.  The chapter that I was most excited about was the study of soulmates.  In the beginning, I didn’t put a lot of credence to the “love at first sight” and thought it was really “lust at first sight.”  Just as research on this generally accepted concept proved me wrong – there are many other discoveries waiting for you to learn in Soul to Soulmates!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Evidence of The Afterlife

NEWS ALERT: Evidence of the Afterlife became a New York Times bestseller eight days after its release!  There are only 16 books on the bestseller list.  This is the book that is already changing the world! 

Order your copy today!

Dr. Jeffrey Long, Jody Long, and Paul Perry have teamed up to write this blockbuster book that became an instant Amazon bestseller after Dr. Long's appearance on NBC's Today Show.  You can see Dr. Long's interview by clicking here.

"Evidence of the Afterlife" is by far the largest scientific study of NDE ever presented, and is based on researching over 1300 NDEs shared with NDERF. This book is scientific in content, yet easy and a delight to read.  The people whose stories are presented span all age groups, races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the world, yet the similarities in their experiences are as awe-inspiring as they are inexplicable.  Using this treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence fails to explain these reports and why there is only one plausible explanation—that people have survived death and traveled to another dimension.

"Evidence of the Afterlife" is so compelling that it will either validate your existing knowledge or it will heartily challenge your current belief system with nine lines of irrefutable evidence of the afterlife.  There are no explanations, medical or otherwise, that one can reasonably conclude after reading this book except that there is an afterlife!

4-26-11 Hello, it is finally time!  

After 10 years of research and sharing astounding experiences, Experience Research Foundation (ERF) goes to the next level.  In about 4 weeks, we launch the new websites that moves you from reading about spirituality, to compassion in action.  As I wrote about in my book From Soul to Soulmates, the lessons of the NDE are using those choices that bring more love into the world.  We start as individuals, then form soulmate relationships and ultimately, these foundations allow those of like spiritual mind to come together to heal the world. Soul2soulmate.org is a spiritual meeting place and relationship research website.  WebPeace.org is the website where volunteers from around the world can create and choose dynamic and inspirational projects, enjoy community, and share in whatever project they are interested in that helps others and the earth.  There will be newsletters, a bulletin board, and an annual conference.  So, stay tuned!

RESEARCH:

 “The Exclusive, Universal, and Multiple Experiences of ADC” By James A. Houck, Ph.D. 10/09/04  “Please don’t think I’m crazy, but…” is how most conversations typically begin around the subject of After Death Communication (ADC).  Most of the research in this area has been done from a qualitative (e.g., structured interviews) approach, which is an excellent way for people to begin telling their stories and comparing similar experiences with other bereft people.  Yet, are there others ways to statistically measure the frequency and uniqueness of such experiences?  In other words, are ADC’s random or purposeful to specific types of populations or bereavement groups? 
INTERESTING FAQ:

We analyzed 238 contributions to our ADC website form exploring the relationship between the deceased and the person reporting the ADC. We found that 46 (19%)of the contacts occurred within 24 hours or less. Interestingly, 35 (76%) of the 46 contacts occurred between blood relatives. Only 5 (14%) occurred between significant others. 
A BIG THANKS goes out to those who submitted their experiences on the website so that we can gain important insights into the ADC phenomena!

 


 
IMPORTANT FAQ:

COLLEEN S:  So does the "research" show that other people have these dreams?  What other thoughts do you have on these death dream scenarios?

JODY:  I, personally, think that being in an altered state of consciousness (the dream) makes it easier for loved ones who have passed to communicate with us on earth.  Far from being non-evidential, I would argue to the contrary.  The way that we process our reality is that before our subconscious will alert our conscious mind, the input must pass a threshold test.  If it is important then the subconscious will allow the input to move into our rational, or conscious level of mind.  In the dream state, this threshold may well be less since we do not have the waking overload of input from the 5 senses.  Therefore, communication that may normally be able to occur in a dream or drowsy state, would reach us easier than in the waking state of consciousness.

 

 

BELOVED PETS:  Some of you may have clients, friends, or colleagues who have lost a dog, cat, horse, bird, or other animal companion--or who are facing end of life choices for a pet.  Some of you may know such experiences first-hand.  The resources include free phone hot lines; bulletin boards; discussion groups; email support lists; help with decisions about euthanasia; information about creating a pet hospice at home; recommended readings; information for adults, children, and families who are losing or have lost a pet; information for veterinarians; ways to memorialize a pet; FAQs; peer support; online articles (e.g., Pet Loss Myths," "Coping with Pet Loss," "If Your Pet Has a Terminal Disease");  and and so on.

Here are our newest experiences: 

Ron M ADC 5/14/12  "Don't mind the way I jump my thoughts around ,because it is all new to me.".  "I can walk and talk and think, but I can't see just yet, I am not worried about it because I know it will happen".  "I am very happy and content, I missed chewy tube for a while. I couldn't bring stuff with me. What I do have are beautiful memories and thoughts."  "I had so much love and gentleness during my life and could tell who was with me most of the time".  "Sometimes I would get very frustrated but didn't know what it was all about". Some of my love and happiness I tried to pass on to Sarah, I hope it works". " I have no form as such, I know I  can walk and talk and run if I want to, but all I have to do is think of somewhere --------and there I am".  "My bath, now that was one of my best times, it was comfy".  "Wind in my face, especially if there was some rain in it, that was exciting, It's amazing how much I understood but couldn't do anything about, now all I want to do is talk and talk".  "I used to get a great kick out of you granddad, when I did a huge pooh---the relief was great and you used to say "you little devil you.  It used to crack me up--it was brilliant."  "My memory of all the love and care that I got was lovely I will treasure it always".

Kathleen S Shared Death Experience 5/14/12  In July 2009 her quality of life had deteriorated and we decided it was no longer fair to prolong her life. We called our vet and she came over to our house to put her down. I sat on the floor with Nelly and stroked her and let her know how much I loved her. The vet had given her a relaxing drug and when Nelly was relaxed enough our vet would give her the injection to stop her heart. When this injection was given to her, while sitting on the floor with Nelly, I heard a very loud whoosh noise and I could actually feel that Nelly was no longer in her body. I remember looking at her body and thinking that was all that was left. It changed my life forever and I know I will be with her again someday. We all are just shells for the soul within them.

Cheryl M ADC 5/14/12 Touch lamp in my bedroom would turn on. At first I noticed when I came home from work that it was on, so I turned it off.  I never used it.  It got to the point that I would wake up in the morning and it was on.  I would turn it off, go downstairs and when I came back to my bedroom, it was on.  It happened 10 times before it hit me that maybe it was Bobby letting me know he was ok.  It gave me comfort and sometimes I would say "Good Night, God Bless, sweet dreams & I love you when I went to bed…  After a week of the lamp being off, I was feeling down.  I was in my room getting ready for bed and I said, Bobby, I know that you are probably visiting your friends or helping someone, but please come back to me when you're done.  I sat down on the bed and that lamp turned on...  I just cried.  I was sure his spirit was with me.
ADC from deceased son.

Kristin B ADC 5/14/12 I was talking to her and asked her if she could, to give me a sign- that she was okay, that she could hear me, that she knew I loved her and missed her. About 3 days after I asked that, I was at work. I was outside at lunch standing next to my car having a cigarette. All of a sudden I saw something flying near me, and moved away because I thought it was a bug. Right after I moved it came back- it was a beautiful black and orange butterfly. It then landed on me. I have been to many places with butterflies all around, where they land on everyone else, and have never in my life have one land on me, so that was special in and of itself. Immediately upon the butterfly landing on me, a thought came into my head that I haven't thought of in such a long time- my mother used to tell me and write on my cards- "Be a butterfly- be free". I instantly knew that this was the sign that I had asked for- my mom was telling me that now she was free, and she would always be with me.

Marisa D Probable ADC 5/5/12 I went to my boyfriends house to take care of his dog. I called him to update him and told him about the news and the overly friendly cat....the lights started flickering. When I went back home, it was waiting for me on my deck. I went to bed creeped out.  The next morning it was on my deck. It watched me make coffee, and breakfast from my sliding glass doors. It stood there...watching… She was a loving but persistent redhead with green eyes. Was she saying goodbye??  Did her spirit send the kitty as a gift? I don't know... She was a redhead with green eyes who had the same qualities. She was always there, loving persistent and aggressive.
Probable ADC from deceased friend as a cat.

Alisa A ADC 5/1/12  The response came back, you wouldn't cry for me if you knew where I was.  I looked around and then I saw it. There was a ball of light floating just above the door. It was brighter than any light I had ever seen, it was not too large, it seemed more like a ball of energy that gave off light, maybe. The light was intensely bright but did not hurt my eyes it was shimmering in a way I have never seen, vaporous?  Then the voice said, here I am going to let you see where I am and then you won't be sad for me. As soon as I heard/felt those words, the ball of light formed into a doorway shape with beams shooting out of the side of it and it opened ever so slightly. As it opened and I looked at it, I was flooded with, with EVERYTHING! The answer to every question I ever had was right there, I felt no doubt anymore only certainty, there was no pain, or fear or sadness, an enormous sense of relief and peace and love came over me it was the best feeling I have ever had and was so full and then WHAM the door shut and turned back into a ball and the voice said, Now do you understand why you shouldn't be sad for me? In just a moment I had known, I had glimpsed what I knew had to be heaven.

Cliff C ADC 5/1/12  Second experience was double rainbows,,  single rainbows day after day,, no rain in sight...  right out the dining room window where he sat for years and years,
ADCs from father in law.

Lois S ADC 5/1/12  Suddenly a feeling that is so hard to describe began to wash over me. It felt like intense love, like an all encompassing embrace. There seemed to be communication with out words, a knowing that Joy was present and was saying "guess what, momma". This experience lasted for almost an hour that seemed to pass rapidly. Then the intense feeling dissipated, leaving me astounded and wondrous. I was sure that if anyone had walked into the room at the time, they would have seen me glowing.
ADCs from deceased daughter.

Rimi M ADC 5/1/12 From India.  It was a winters morning in London, eleven months after the sudden death of my Mother in India and I was travelling the next week to perform the final prayer ceremony for her to end the one year mourning period we observe as Hindus for our parents. The blinds were shut and I woke up. A picture of my Mother which is at the foot of my bed had a bright, blinding beam of light, so bright that it was hard to look at and it shone exactly on my Mother's face. There were other pictures but this beam was only on my Mother's picture.. I took many pictures of it and it appeared to be the side profile of a girl with long hair. It then disappeared within seconds but the sun was still shining… I have photographic evidence and as the blinds were shut no light could have entered at that angle on to the picture. It defies the laws of physics and light refraction.

 Michele ADCs 5/1/12  As I opened my eyes, she was laying next to me in bed, watching me sleep. She wasn't the age that she passed at (77); she was much younger, probably in her 50's, but I still recognized her right away. When my eyes opened, she smiled her usual happy closed mouth smile, and then faded away… I decided to lay down and take a nap (which was unusual for me at the time). I hadn't been asleep but for maybe thirty minutes when I heard my uncles voice say to me, "Goodbye. I love you." After this happened, I sat straight up and opened my eyes and told my brother that Uncle Ricky had passed. Just as soon as the words left my mouth, my dad called and broke the news to us. But I already knew.

Marg M ADC 4/22/12 From Canada.  I was fully awake when I heard a "snapping" at the end of my bed and sat up.  There was nothing but a blank wall in front of me.  Suddenly, an image, approximately 3 feet off the floor began to emerge quite quickly on this blank wall. It was a circle that grew to approx. 2 feet in circumference.  Within this circle, it looked like a snarl of elastic bands, snapping and filling the circle. i believe these "bands" were slightly moving among themselves. I don't recall seeing any color but tend to think it was a neutral shade - beige, maybe. The outside of the circle appeared to be black, almost a void.  I stared at the circle for a minute or so, listening to the snapping, then told it to go away. It shrank into itself and went away and the last I saw of it was a black dot which disappeared.  I have never experienced anything of this nature since, nor before her death.  I was not frightened, but instead just curious.

Lucy C ADC 4/15/12 "In my dream" I got lost in a forest rapidly it became dark and could not find my way back home. I kept walking until I found myself in a forest clearing and OMG  there in front of me there was this huge wall that extended to right & left for miles !!  Right  in front of my eyes the was this TALL, TALL IRON GATE.  On the other side of the gate there were lots of people, they were very happy and celebrating.  The light " on the other side " was amazing, but not blinding.  I climbed the iron gate because I wanted to SEE & talk to my dad, I NEW  HE WAS THERE.  I did not see him or anybody... they were invisible but  THEIR  ESSENCE WAS THERE.  MY DAD  TALKED TO  ME and told me  I could not enter the gate, ONLY DEAD PEOPLE were allowed  inside. I insisted that I want to be with him even if I have to die.....another  person took my hands  OFF  the  gate and told me  that I'll be there sometime but  for now i should go back  to  where I came from, I should GO back to my mother and my sister.

Cheri B ADC 4/15/12  He just held me for awhile.  Perhaps he spoke to me then, but I no longer remember.  But presently he began to walk slowly towards a swimming pool, which was nearby.  But the pool area wasn't bright like the white expanse.  It had some light, but it was much dimmer with more of a shadowy expanse around it.  My dad walked straight into the pool, carrying me gently through the warm water.  He spoke to me softly then, telling me something that I have never been able to recall--something about which I've always felt a keen disappointment.  As he spoke to me, he continued to walk through the water, until I saw my husband waiting motionless at the other end.  When my dad approached him, he gently transferred me into my husband's arms, and my husband held me close.  I knew then that our visit was at an end and that my dad was once more--and for the last time--"giving me away," as he had at my wedding… , I understood that he was indicating that my husband needed to take my dad's place as my protector and provider and primary source of love.  It was like a reminder that my dad's role was done and that this was really goodbye until I should die, myself.

Paula C ADC 4/15/12 I laid down and went to sleep and ended up in this room that was all white with other people sitting on benches as I then realized I was sitting on a bench also.  I was looking around turned to my right and realized there was a basket sitting next to me.  I looked in and saw my son.  He opened his eyes and smiled that beautiful smile he had.  He was always a very happy boy.  I reached in and picked him up.  He was a very healthy boy so he was heavy.  I  sat with him and he talked with me our lips did not move it was only with thought back and forth.  He told me he was okay and he loved me. We sat for a long time and then he said it was time to go. I gave him a hug and kiss told him I loved him and placed him carefully back in the basket.  Rees said "Please don't cry mommy" and then the baskets were all gone.  I realized the other people around me were there to say goodbye to their kids.

Trish Shared Death Experience 4/15/12  All of a sudden we both heard very loud, as though it was just outside on the street, a Naval whistle that military Naval ships blow they call "piping onboard." It's the long 3 notes they sound during different times, as when dignitaries or such are coming on board the ship. My sister and I both looked up at each other and found out we both heard it as it was pretty loud. I ran to the door and looked outside and no one was there. I checked to make sure no TV's or radios were on and none were. It was just as quiet as before the whistle sounded. My dad that evening quietly passed away. We both believe that maybe my dad's buddies came to get him. I guess that sounds crazy but I have never heard any whistles or any such noises such as that before or after that day and I have lived here for 11 years. Plus, those men and that ship meant a lot to him.

Sandy L ADC 4/8/12  The last time I was in a bad car wreck I shouldn't have walked away from. After I got hit head on my SUV started spinning around my Roby was over my right shoulder saying your not coming with me it's not your time then the SUV stopped. After realizing what happened and what he said I was so pissed off he wasn't coming to get me but had left me again.
ADC during auto accident from Roby, her fiancé.

Angie D ADCs 4/8/12 The strangest experiences is having people who are deceased that I never knew contacting me to give messages to people who are alive (and sometimes not all that close to me).  However, the messages were well-received and very significant to the receivers.  Interesting, if I choose to ignore it the deceased keeps visiting until I pay attention and give the message.  Then they never come again (you would think a thank you would be appropriate, eh?)… in all cases, it was true, helpful and I knew nothing about it prior.  For example, my brother Bob came to me and told me to tell his son Jimmy that he should "go for it-Ohio"  I had no idea what it meant.  When I told Jimmy he explained that he got accepted to 3 medical schools (I didn't even know he had applied).  One of them was Ohio and he had no idea which one to attend.  He went to Ohio as a result of his Dad's advice from the grave and he has done well.

Natylie B ADC 4/8/12 The third experience started (as usual) when I had retired to bed for the night and was trying to go to sleep.  I was tired from everything that had been going on since my father's death but had not quite fallen asleep yet.  Suddenly, I had a popping sensation in my ears, similar to when your ears pop while riding in a car or airplane.  After the popping sensation, it felt like my hearing was sealed from outside sounds and I began to hear a soft male voice like I had heard the other two times.  The voice was not like a regular voice heard externally.  It was more like it was communicating to me in an internal way.  This is the part that is somewhat hard to explain.  It said or communicated to me: "It's okay.  I'm sorry.  I love you." This time it also said, "Keep writing.  You will have a family."
ADC with information from recently deceased father.

Lynne J ADC 4/8/12 I had recently returned home from my great niece's funeral.  She was only 4 and died of a brain tumor 7 months after being diagnosed.  My father had died 3 months before Sophie.  I was in terrible pain over Sophie's death and while working in my garden began asking my dad to show me a sign that he was with me, and that he was taking care of Sophie and that they were "ok".  I begged him for a sign and all at once a little butterfly started flying around my head as I knelt in my garden.  I told dad, "thank you sooo much!"  But then I thought, I'd know for sure that it was him, and that Sophie was ok, if it was a monarch butterfly( because that's the kind of butterfly that we always had in our yard when I was growing up and monarchs meant something special to him and I. Well....the thought wasn't even totally out of my head when a monarch butterfly began flying around my head WITH the smaller butterfly!!!  I was filled with thankfulness and wonder!  And I KNEW that dad was with me and that Sophie was "ok".

Claire T ADC 3/31/12  When I went to bed, I was not upset or even thinking about Steve at the moment. Sometime during my sleep, I became completely aware. I was in another place, or rather, my SOUL was in another place. I was with Steve and we were floating in a red ambience. The red ambience is very difficult to describe. There was no sense of direction or gravity. It was similar to a cloudy haze, but totally otherworldly. Steve and I held each other, both so glad to have this time together. There was no talking at all, everything was mentally communicated. We were both aware that this was a special gift and that I couldn't stay there, we knew that when my body started to wake up, my soul had to go back. SO this was a very bittersweet meeting. I could feel him and see him and it was as real as anything. I clung to him. He let me now that he loved me and he wanted me to be happy and strong, and that this was the way things were meant to be. As I began to wake up, it ended abruptly. I sat up in bed fully awake and cried, so thankful for my short time with Steve but sad I had to wake up, and I couldn't stay there with him. But this answered my questions, was Steve okay, where was he, was he happy? I was able to go on and be strong for my kids, knowing there is a purpose for everything and nothing is senseless.

Kerrie H ADC 3/31/12 From New Zealand.  At a quick pace over the 25 meters my mind ran through possibilities of what could be emitting this noise. I found the never before activated, smoke alarm sounding. I removed it from the ceiling near my bedroom where it had been placed over ten years before, taking notice of it only when I replaced the battery. Disconnecting the battery gave relief of the noise. There was no hint of anything to set it off. I tested it by replacing the battery and it sounded, taking it outside to try again, it sounded. After a few hours of it sitting on my dining table without a battery I tried it again to find it was in perfect working order. This is when the thought came to me.....I couldn't remember saying good morning to Muffin. Although I remain at a loss without her I feel she found this mysterious way to let me know she is still here with me.

Mariette ADC 3/24/12 From Belgium.  Original in Dutch, translated to English by Dorine.  MY GODFATHER WAS VERY ILL AT THE HOSPITAL THE NIGHT HE DIED, AT THAT MOMENT I WAS ASLEEP AT HOME, ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS IN HIS HOSPITAL ROOM AND SAW HIM LAYING IN HIS BED. SUDDENLY A RADIANT LIGHT APPEARED AND I FELT THE PRESENCE OF JESUS. THE LIGHT WAS TOTALLY PURE AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. I FELT COMPLETELY ACCEPTED FOR WHO I WAS AND FELL TO MY KNEES IN GRATITUDE. AT A CERTAIN POINT THE EXPERIENCE WAS TOO INTENSE FOR ME AND I WAS SENT BACK TO MY BODY. I WOKE UP AND KNEW THAT MY GODFATHER HAD DIED THAT NIGHT AND I NOTICED THE TIME ON THE CLOCK. IN THE MORNING I CALLED MY MOTHER AND TOLD HER THAT HE DIED BUT SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME AND TOLD ME THAT I MUST HAVE BEEN DREAMING. WHEN I CAME HOME AT NIGHT MY MOTHER TOLD ME I WAS RIGHT HE DID DIE THAT NIGHT AND AT THE EXACT TIME I SAW ON MY CLOCK. 
Shared death experience that started while she was asleep. 

Lynne J ADC 3/24/12  During a period of sleep, I dreamed that I was saying goodbye to an old boyfriend, Richard.  I was very emotional, overcome with sadness, and very very cold.  The sadness I felt was overpowering.  I woke up and proceeded to tell my boyfriend, John, what I had dreamed and how sad I felt… And he read me the article that stated Richard had been boating two days before and had run his boat aground on a rock jetty off the Island of Nantucket.  He and his friend waited until dawn and then Richard got onto the rocks to push his boat free.  He fell into the cold water (it was Oct.) and the fast current carried him away and he drowned.

Dorothy W Experience 3/24/12  Mike was a skeptic, but two weeks before he died, and he could understand me, I asked him to let me know, if there were any way, that he was still living, though his body was gone. I believe these alarms, and the clock were his way of letting me know he is definitely still a living being.  He confirmed that to me when, 3 weeks later, on March 13, 2013, he set one of the alarms off again for about 10-15 seconds. I believe he used the alarms because of his career as a city firefighter, something he loved.

Margaret E Experience 3/22/12 I was asleep in Norfolk England when I met up with a friend, who lives in Jamaica, in a dream.  There were thousands and thousands of people standing outside (what I thought was) a hospital and I was one of those people.  It was a huge brightly lit area with only a door and no windows.  Then my friend Abey came walking along a bright shining path towards that door.  I called to him and he stopped.  With him were (what I thought) two doctors, dressed in bright shining white clothes and with impassive faces, one on either side.  I had visited Jamaica the previous year and despite phoning Abey he had not come up from Kingston to visit me and my husband on the North Coast.  I asked him in my dream to promise to come and see us the next time we were there and he laughed.  It was as if he knew what the joke was and no-one else around did.  He told me "Sure" still laughing and walked with the doctors into the door and vanished from my sight.  This troubled me greatly and I awoke from sleep sitting bolt upright and told my husband that I had seen Abey going into a hospital and perhaps I should phone his mother.  My husband pointed out that me having a dream in England about a friend in Jamaica and phoning his mother in Florida was not exactly going to make me look normal.  He said that if Abey was in the hospital they would phone the mother.  Two days later I got the phone call.  At exactly the time I had the dream Abey had been murdered.  He did not make it to hospital as he had been shot to death in a mall. I did not see a hospital and he was not with doctors.  I had just assumed in my dream that big white buildings and people in white clothes constituted a hospital experience.  I don't entirely understand what happened but I must have seen my friend and spoken with him after his death.
Short ADC with friend.

Kimberly J Experience 3/7/12  All four of us were sitting at our kitchen table.  The two boys were playing a game and Tara and I were talking about Jake and watching a memorial video of  the Breedlove boy who died this last Christmas.  We were crying and talking about the possibility of life after death when our Tiffany lamp over our heads at the table got really bright and blew out!!  I tried turning it back on to no avail.  My friend Tara and her son witnessed the first ADC with us and she and her son totally believed it was Jake sending us another sign that he loved us and he was ok.  All night the light would not turn on (all other can lights around it on the ceiling were FINE).  The next morning when I turned on the kitchen lights the Tiffany light was working again(2 of the 3 bulbs were blown out)!
ADCs from son who died at 6 years old.

Tina Experience 2088 3/7/12 It was a few days after my brother had passed away and I was pacing  my Mother's driveway just after  midnight mourning my brother and asking God to send me a sign that he was okay. I felt confident that he would as while my brothers friends had gathered that evening and we began to talk about him the living room light flashed a few times. After everyone left I was pacing the driveway speaking to God, mourning and praying. I looked into the sky and a light came down almost like a firework, through the tree across the street with shimmering sparkles and was there briefly it came very close to me and then pulled back up into the sky. It was very real so real I asked my friend/now husband if he had just seen what I saw and he said yes that was not of this world as sad as I was I believe I had just received the answer I was looking for.
ADC from brother.  Remarkable visual ADC witnessed by others.

Leslee B Experience 7/5/07 & 3/11/12  I had been spending most of my time in bed, about a month. My family was getting worried that I was giving up on life, and I was. This was my twin, my best friend, and the love of my life. As I sat up in bed crying with my head face down in my pillow, I felt a comfort come over my body. As I pulled my head away from pillow I saw my Twin sister Roslee standing in front of me, SOOO beautiful, wearing a white gown, with a beautiful light around her. She smiled at me and said, "I love you very much and you must go on, you are not finished here there are things that you will need to complete. Then when you pass on from this world, I will be here to take your hand." She then said "I Love You.", and she and the light faded away. I believe that she new that I was giving up and that she needed to let me know she would be back for me.
ADC from deceased twin sister.

Mary A Experience 3/4/12 Bob was there! I ran up to him and he hugged me real tight. I remember telling him " I miss you so much" and he said "I miss you too" and we just stayed hugging for what seemed like minutes and we just kept telling each other we miss each other and that's when his hug gave me what I would describe as a feeling of relief like I felt chills or a sensation like that thru my body. It almost felt like thru the hug, I was getting rid of the tension inside of me. That's the last I remember of the dream, it just seemed like we never stopped hugging. When I woke up it seemed SO real! I have had dreams many times with relatives who have died but they were more like things from the past. The thing that really made this feel so real is that it was in "the present". There wasn't a time when he was alive where we would have been apart long enough to miss each other so intensely. And Bob was a typical guy who wouldn't have expressed it so intensely either.
ADC dream from friend who died of suicide.

Rosemary H Experience 3/4/12 When I was 3 years old my grandmother who died when my mother was 7 years old asked me to tell my mother she never left her. that is the very first one I can remember.  In recent years there have been so many.  About two years ago I began keeping a record of the communication I receive, see, experience.  I believe my messages, my insight has helped ease the suffering of many.  My brother Paul was killed in Vietnam in 1969.  At my son-in-law's fourteenth birthday party, I saw him standing behind my son.  My son was sitting in a chair across the room from me.  He was magnificent. Tall.  Statuesque. He told me he was with my son protecting him always.
ADCs from the age of 3.  She is currently 68 years old.

Lora Experience 3/4/12 My dad came to visit me and my sister. First he spent some time with us together and we had a great time. Then he spent time with my sister. Then he spent time with me. I greatly enjoyed my time with him. After some time with me, he then said, I have to go. I started to cry and asked him, cant you come back (to earth) and be with me? Cant you go back to the day of the accident and redo that day and stay here? (this is odd b/c he died of a rare blood clot disease, three weeks in hospital, not in a sudden accident so I am not sure why I asked him this question?) He said no I am happy where I am. I began to cry a lot and grabbed at his shirt as he drifted away, upwards towards heaven. He gently removed my hand and released it so I wasn't holding on to his shirt anymore. He then said again, I am really happy where I am. I lowered my head, sobbing, and nodded b/c I understood that he was truly happy where he was and that was more important than coming back to be with me. Right then I suddenly woke up.
Dream ADC from father.

Jessica C Experience 2/25/12 Then at that minute, the intense sadness and inability to stop crying that had been constant all that day, stopped. It just stopped. I noticed the dog looking in the kitchen and I then saw my cat playing in the doorway, rubbing her face on the doorframe and messing with the door jamb and rolling around as per her usual (pre sickness) antics. She messed with a part of my daughters toy pony that was on the floor, and had it in her mouth and had looked like she was about to run off with it. She was constantly stealing my daughters toys and the ponies were her favorite. I think I either had to yell at her to drop them, or chase her down to get them back at least 5 times a day. When she picked it up this time, I was about to yell, but I stopped because I was certain I was going nuts and was not about to alert the house to that fact. She kept playing then moved on to the kitchen and was gone.
Multiple ADCs from beloved pet cat.

Debbie G Experience 2/25/12 It was much more real than a dream. He stepped out from behind a stand of pine trees dressed in a white robe and appeared to be in his 20-30's and very healthy - not in the cancer-riddled state I'd just left him in hours earlier. He said 'Don't worry sweetheart, everything is going to be ok. I love you.' Then he stepped behind the trees. I sat up calling out 'Dad, come back.' My husband woke up and I shared what'd happened. Three days later on the day of the funeral, I followed the procession to the cemetery and we took our seats under the tent. I looked over to my right and saw the exact stand of pine trees... The best way to describe it was my father and son's soul spoke to my soul. It was so deep inside of my head and body.
ADCs from father and son.

Sandra J Experience 2/25/12 We were sitting at the kitchen table discussing whatever and alone as the kids were playing in the yard.  All of a sudden I felt a hard poke three times on my right shoulder and jumped from the kitchen chair.  The neighbor asked me what was wrong and I told her Geez, it felt like someone just punched my shoulder.  We just stared at each other in amazement as no one was in the room but she and I.  I sat back down and dismissed the incident and we shrugged it off when not five minutes later the phone rang.  I got up and answered it and it was my aunt in Michigan telling me my grandmother had just passed away… There is no way the experience wasn't real. I jumped a foot after being poked.
ADC shortly after death of grandmother.  Shared 44 years later.

Andre F's Mother's Experience 2/25/12 From The Netherlands.  She told us her cell phone rang while she was resting on her bed and reading a book. When she looked on the phone display it said "ENGELENZENDER". This is Dutch for ANGEL SENDER or ANGEL BROADCASTER. Now this is very weird, to get a message in Dutch on the display of the cell phone while residing in Southern Italy. No telephone company with that name is known in The Netherlands, Italy or even Europe. None of her contacts stored in the cell phone have this nickname. Also, we don't know anybody with that nickname. Later we found out that my mother's other son (my brother) tried to call her from the Dutch Caribbean Island of Saint Martin at the time point her phone displayed "ENGELENZENDER"… Telephone call was made by my brother. But if he calls, just his name shows up on the display and certainly not ANGEL BROADCASTER. Could it be a higher power interfered?
ADC from contributor’s mother. 

Ainsley Experience 2/19/12 The following morning, the stalk had grown about a foot  and was covered in beautiful, pink flowers.  I was shocked beyond words.  I showed it to my coworker, and she said that it had absolutely no resemblance to the cactus plant that had inhabited the pot.  Every morning, when I would arrive in the office, it grew in height and width, and became an enormous bush, covered in the most unique pink flowers… I took a photo and emailed it to my sister, who had lived with my mother her entire life.  She immediately called to tell me that this bush grew in their backyard, and was my mother's prized plant.  I eventually had to repot it as it was now 3 ft high, and about 2 ft wide, and in constant bloom.  I brought a clipping to my sister, and she too now has the same plant in her home.  I cannot explain how a pot of dry, unattended soil created this beautiful plant, but I can say without any doubt in my mind, that my mother had everything to do with it.
ADC from mother in form of her favorite flower inexplicably growing in a pot of soil.

Faye M Experience 2/19/12 I laid in bed for a second, still wrapped up in that beautiful feeling. My body literally felt different, as if I had been in heaven or something.  Then, in my head I heard my brother say to me "Faye, you know that feeling you felt when Dad was hugging you?"  And I was shocked to realize that was my father who had died when I was 2 and I had not recognized him because there are very very few pictures of him. My brother went on to say "Well, that feeling you felt for a moment is how I feel every moment now"  "Don't worry about me, and let me go, I finally get to play ball with my dad".
ADC from brother.

Renee R Experience 2/19/12 My cat, Dexter, had a sudden, tragic injury and had to be put to sleep.  I was devastated and stayed in bed grieving him through the second day of his passing, not able to get past the suffering he endured and losing him that way.  Some time that evening, before my husband came to bed I was lying there and felt Dexter jump on my bed and then curl up against my legs like he always used to do.  I was shocked and started to sit up.  At that moment I got the message in my head, "Everything is okay.  It will all be okay." and it came from him somehow. I instantly felt a peace and relief I hadn't since he died, and I laid back down and went to sleep feeling him against my legs… The communication is hard to describe.  I felt the words and their meaning as plain as if they were spoken, but they weren't.
ADC from deceased cat.

Lakshmi Experience 2/19/12 My dream is as follows :I was at work and I called home, surprisingly I hear my father speak, I am very aware in the dream that he is no more and I hear him speak. He told me 3 things, the one I remember is that He loves me very much and then I see this big number 509. This number is not my phone number or house number or any special days. Earlier I had experienced a strong pull of energy or force on the top of my head. It was so strong as if something was being pulled out of my head. It happened on the 10th day of his demise and once when I was sleeping. I also had a dream as if he was travelling and feeling very very cold as in frigid temp and I thought maybe it was his way of telling me to donate bedding to the needy.
ADC dream of deceased father.  Contributor is Hindu from India, living in USA.

Andy Experiences 2/19/12 A husband and a wife who were relatives to me were sick and both needed to be stay in bed due to sickness. They were married for a very long time, I would say 50 years or so. They were always together . They even got sick together, but husband decided to go to hospital and the wife stayed at home.. Long story short- he was rescued by treatment while she died at home.  While he was in the hospital, exactly the time she died he witnessed two shadows and a third one above him that hugged him. He felt at peace. The shadows turned from black to white and went away…
One day, an hour before work I was in my kitchen and felt like electricity go into my head and out. It was not just unusual. It was something I could not understand.  You know  when something is wrong with you or your hearth is running too fast ? My feeling was I am 100% OK, but something like electricity went in from one side and got out from another side of my head.  Anyways, an hour later I found out at work that she just died from hearth attack.
Second-person ADC where husband had experience at time wife died, and ADC at moment of death of co-worker.

Sharon M Experiences 2/11/12 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY CLOSE TO HOME, JUST ROUNDING A CURVE ON THE ROAD AND I SAW HER FACE WITH WHITE ALL AROUND IT.  AS I CAME UP THE ROAD A BLACK SUV PULLED RIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF ME.  I HAD NO TIME TO STOP OR MOVE WHATSOEVER.  I HIT THE SUV WITH SEVERE IMPACT AND WALKED AWAY FROM THE ACCIDENT WITH NO INJURIES WHATSOEVER… I THINK SOME HOW SHE SAVED ME FROM GETTING HURT.  THE POLICE SAID THAT THE PERSON WHO WAS IN THE CHEVY ON THE HIGHWAY SHOULD NOT BE ALIVE AND THERE I WAS SITTING ON A CURB ALIVE AND WELL.
ADCs from deceased mother.  Her mother may have helped keep her from injury in a severe auto accident.

Robyn Experience 2/11/12 I woke up to find something on the end of my bed. it was a blue plasma (gassy)  outline...very detailed outline. the message was that my dad was sick. I wasn't scared. it was my brother. I don't remember a voice...more like an understanding without talking this happened around 3am. I called my dad on the phone after it was no more and he reported to me that my brother had just delivered him the same message. my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer a few months later. my partner at the time did not question that it happened.
ADC delivered to Robyn and her father with information that her father was sick.  Father was diagnosed with colon cancer a few months later.

Steve C Second Person Experience 2/11/12 My mother-in-law passed away last week. One of the other woman musketeers was also very sick. Her son came to my mother-in-laws wake and my wife asked if he had told his mother that her mother passed. He informed her that he had not that she was very ill and did not want to stress her out any. He went on to tell us that his mother just yesterday was telling him that my mother-in-law had visited with her and that everything was going to be all-right. She passed away 1 week later.
Second-person ADC from deceased individual that they were not aware had died.

Jeffrey J Experience 2/2/12  Approximately ten years ago my life was changed immeasurably by my experience. I was laid in bed after finishing a night shift, suddenly I was in a dark place and all I could see in front of me was the outline shape, of an old lady. She was very frustrated and she was pushing against what appeared to be an invisible barrier. I consoled her and informed the lady that if she wanted to get through this barrier she would have to believe that it was possible to pass through it. In a space of time that I could not measure a beam of light shone down from what seemed to be above us, but to be honest the perspective of this I am unsure of. I could see a person within the light and the lady appeared to know who it was because she greeted him by name. I followed them both and to my amazement was in a room that was flooded with light . And  when I looked around the room around the perimeter I could distinguish the shapes of people that all wore the same clothing, and this was like a monks robe and all of them wore white with their hoods up.  For some unknown reason I approached one of these beings and asked through my mind if my Mother was ok ( she had died many years before). Before I could ask or say anything else a huge book suddenly appeared before my eyes and opened at a page. This page had many photographs on it but only one was clear. This photograph was one of my Mother sat beside a river laughing with other people. Just as suddenly the book shut and disappeared. I had this awful feeling that I shouldn't be in that place and felt like a naughty child. Just as quickly a became aware that I was back in my bed again but a much changed  person for having this experience. Just to make things clear if this was a dream I had never dreamt of my Mother before this experience and have never had a dream about her since. She passed twenty four years ago.  Short ADC.  No link because this is all there is.

Melissa Experience 1/29/12 When he died I wrote him a letter with my feelings, telling him how sad I was we would never get to have a relationship. I also told him how I wanted to be there with him because I was so sad I wanted to kill myself.  I told him many things I wanted to say and I ask God and him to please give me a sign that he read the letter.  I folded the letter up and put in in my jewelry box in the top of my closet.  I forgot about it. Then about 2 years later I remembered it when I was with a friend and wanted to show this friend the letter.  So, I got the letter out and there was a star burned out in the middle of the letter.  I wondered if someone had found it and lit it on fire and then blew it out, but I have no idea why anyone would do that. I had never touched the letter or told anyone about it before then.  I believe it was God or my Dad telling me he got the message.  I still have the letter today.
ADC from father who committed suicide when she was 13 years old.

Molly M Experience 1/29/12 I was taking a nap in the living room of their house 2 days after her passing and I woke up to tomato sauce cooking. I quickly asked my father if he was cooking and he said no. I actually had to get up, go in the kitchen and even outside to see where the smell was coming from. It was her sauce. No doubt.  The 2nd experience was on the 3rd day after her passing. My brother had set up a memorial on a coffee table which had 4  candles. He was to light them all and leave them for 30 days lit. I woke up and one was lit and no one had lighted it.
ADCs from deceased mother.

Gert L Experience 1/29/12 My Mother told me that a ex-teacher at the high school I had went to had passed away. He hadn't been my teacher and I didn't really know him, but I decided to look up his obituary online a couple weeks later. He had lived in a small town about 20 minutes from where I live. I found the local paper for that town and began looking through the short list of obituaries... before I reached the obituary of the ex teacher, I stumbled upon one for a coworker I hadn't seen in 20 years. Randy had died one week before I found his obituary. The day he had died a bird began perching on my porch light every evening. The bird didn't fly off when anyone opened the door... I thought it was unusual and by the third day I knew the bird was a harbinger or messenger and that someone had died. I never saw the bird again after finding Randy's death notice.
ADCs from friend/coworker she knew decades before.

 Deborah B Experience 1/29/12 I was counseling a cancer patient in his last stages.  He had a fear of leaving his family and death.  We talked about death and used hypnosis to help with his pain control. Spoke about options. After 3 weeks of working with him, I woke up about 1:30 am and looked at the bedroom door.  There he was standing there, glowing, happy; I got the sense he was telling me everything is okay now.  I called the hospital the next morning about 10:00 am and the nurse told me he passed in the night, perhaps about 1:00 am
ADC from cancer patient that she was counseling at or shortly after time of death.

Kieve S Experience 1/29/12 It didn't take long for me to fall asleep. But I remember suddenly being JOLTED out of my sleep! It was like an electric shock hit me in my sleep! Its like I popped up and laid right back down to sleep! Like toast in a toaster! I didn't think anything of it at, the time.  I just figured I had dozed off and jumped in my sleep, like so many of us do.  By the next day, my thoughts had changed. I would start to believe that the jolt in my sleep, was the time my mother shot herself in the head… She asked me if I was feeling ok. I said," Loren, My Mom is going to kill herself today!" I said it so matter-of-factly! It just rolled off my tongue, almost before I even formed it as a thought.
ADC involving mother who committed suicide.

MKF Experience 1/29/12 From Switzerland I don't see him in my dream, it's not a visual experience. It's a physical one. I can feel him hugging me through the blankets. The last time I said to him "hold me" and he did it. I said again "hold me tight" and I could feel his arms trying to push harder through the blankets. It felt like a very "familiar" touch, I simply knew it was him! And then I wake up and the feeling of physical contact immediately vanishes. The first three of four times I thought it was just my imagination, but since the last time, about 10 days ago,  I'm not so sure that it is only a dream or a kind of hallucination. If it was a dream why should I feel the pressure through the blankets? I would probably feel the contact of his hand directly on my skin, but it was so clear that the blankets were an obstacle. This detail made the experience so real!
ADCs from deceased husband.

Cindy J Experience 1/29/12 My mom passed away unexpectedly on Oct. 24, 2011. She suffered a cardiac arrest at night with my dad present and they were able to revive her briefly, and took her to the hospital where she was pronounced and my dad found out she was deceased. This was mid morning, maybe 300am or 330am. At this time, my husband and I were staying in a hotel in New Hampshire, traveling back from a trip. I was not aware of my mom passing. At about 4am, I was getting ready to get up to use the bathroom, this object, brightly lit and about 10 inches long hovered above my bed. It was moving in all directions, up down, sideways, and I hid my face briefly under the sheet. I than looked up again and it was flying around more quickly. I put my left hand out, and it seemed to land on my extended finger. I did not feel anything but a great joy and calmness and peacefulness. I called out to my husband to look at the angel in the room, and it began to hover over him and than disappeared into the wall. The room was than again dark. There was no actual figure noted. Only some outlines that contained a continuous light. I didn't see a face or what looked like wings, but there was definitely something moving in both sides of it keeping it afloat. I felt so good, and eventually awoke my husband. We left for our home that day and when we were almost home, I was called and told that mom had passed. My dad had tried to call me earlier that morning, about 730-800 am and left a message for me to call him. I didn't see that on my phone.
