The Characteristics and Impact of After Death Communications

Add Review
In the early works and experience of organisations such as this College and the Society for Psychical Research, it was found that experiences of ghosts and apparitions immediately following the death of a person were highly common experiences. By the 1970s, medical research had begun to acknowledge such experiences for the bereaved, which had a wide-reaching impact on medical research and thanatology. These After Death Communications (ADCs) have been found to be highly beneficial to the bereavement process and are almost exclusively experienced by the bereaved. However, those who have not suffered personal loss have had spontaneous experiences of the deceased, and some people choose to seek out these experiences via sittings with mediums, for example. This presentation will discuss the history, phenomenology, and impact of these experiences and where we find ourselves in the current research. Dr Callum Cooper is a Chartered Psychologist with the BPS and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. He is a PhD candidate at the University of Northampton and has received numerous grants and awards in parapsychology including the Eileen J. Garrett Scholarship (Parapsychology Foundation, 2009), the Alex Tanous Scholarship Award (Alex Tanous Foundation for Scientific Research, numerous, since 2011) and the Gertrude R. Schmeidler Award (Parapsychological Association, 2014).

College of Psychic Studies
HOST:
College of Psychic Studies - The College was founded in 1884 by a group of eminent scholars and scientists. Its purpose was to facilitate formal investigation into the psychic and mediumistic phenomena that were such a topic of debate in the Victorian era. With great courage, this group of distinguished people, some notable in science, others from within the ranks of the Anglican clergy, defied the prevailing canons of respectability in order to proclaim to a world of increasing materialism that human personality survives bodily death and that this is capable of demonstration.
