Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death

This week I'm talking to Jenn Scott Pickett about her book 'Reincarnation Explained without Religion: What Happens After Death, Why Some Children Remember Past Lives, and How Reincarnation Really Works'

Reincarnation Explained without Religion explores one of humanity’s oldest questions in a grounded, non-religious way: What happens after we die... and is it possible we live more than once?

Drawing from past-life research, documented case studies, near-death experience accounts, and the work of both modern investigators and influential spiritual teachers, this book offers a clear, accessible introduction to how reincarnation is understood outside of formal religious tradition. It examines why some children remember past lives, how researchers have studied these cases, what near-death experiences may reveal about consciousness, and how experiential and intuitive perspectives have also shaped the modern conversation.

Rather than promoting a belief system, this book focuses on explanation. It weaves together decades of research, historical patterns, therapeutic observations, and spiritual explorations to show why reincarnation continues to be seriously examined across scientific, clinical, and consciousness-based communities.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• how reincarnation is studied outside of religion

• why some children report detailed memories of previous lives

• what both research and experiential traditions suggest about identity and memory

• how population growth does not challenge reincarnation

• what near-death experiences may reveal about consciousness

• how past-life regression, intuitive accounts, and spiritual teachings fit into the broader picture

• what a multi-lifetime perspective can mean for how we live now

Written in a clear, conversational style, this book is designed for readers who are curious about past lives, consciousness, and life after death but who want an approach that is thoughtful, grounded, and free from doctrine.

Whether you’re drawn to reincarnation through science, spiritual inquiry, or simple curiosity, Reincarnation Explained without Religion offers a calm, accessible starting point for exploring one of the deepest questions of human existence.

In this episode, I look at the Bangs sisters, two of the most famous spirit mediums working in Chicago in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Lizzie and May Bangs became especially well known for their “precipitated” spirit portraits: images said to appear on prepared canvases during sittings, rather than being painted in the ordinary way before the audience’s eyes.

The episode focuses on who the sisters were, how their portrait sittings were described, and why the paintings became such an important part of American Spiritualist culture. I examine the methods later associated with their work, including the use of framed canvases, window light, and controlled viewing conditions, and I discuss why these portraits were treated as something more than séance curiosities. They were framed, preserved, displayed, and compared with photographs of the dead, which gave them a lasting place in Spiritualist collections.

I also spend time on the pictures themselves as physical objects. Did they look like ordinary oil paintings? The historical descriptions suggest something more unusual. Later writers and museum accounts often describe the Bangs portraits as smooth in finish, with little or no visible brushwork, rich color, and an appearance closer to softly blended portraiture than to heavily worked oil paint. Some accounts compared the effect to airbrushing.

The episode also covers specific surviving examples, including portraits linked to Queen Victoria and to Emily and Rose Carson in the Camp Chesterfield collection. Just as important, I look at reports from sitters who said the finished image resembled the deceased closely, sometimes down to details such as beard style, jewelry, or coloring.

This is an episode about mediumship, mourning, portraiture, and the question of what people believed they were seeing when a face from the dead appeared on canvas.

In this episode I am talking to Barbara Banner about mediumship and the afterlife.

A Calling from the Other Side. It all started with mysterious happenings—objects flying off shelves, fans turning on with lights flickering in rooms (even one without a bulb!), and glowing orbs dancing through my videos. The universe was sending a message, and I had no choice but to listen. Little did I know, this was a family secret spanning generations! What I thought was beginner’s luck was actually a destiny waiting to unfold.

Since then, I have trained with some of the world’s most renowned Psychic, Mediumship, and Trance mentors, deepening my connection to the spirit world. The messages I receive are profound — answers to your lingering questions, guidance when you need it most, and heartfelt connections to those who have passed but are still watching over you. Some profess their love, some seek forgiveness, and all want to remind you: they are never truly gone.

With 35 years of experience supporting individuals in crisis — whether on crisis hotlines, in hospital ERs, or with the city's Crisis Response Team to help at the scene of a passing — I’ve seen firsthand the depth of emotions we carry. Spirit understands this, too. Readings can be deeply healing, joyful, even life-changing. And yes — many times, they can be surprisingly fun!

Looking back, it’s clear that every step of my journey has led me here. If you feel the pull to connect, to seek guidance, or simply to find peace, I would be honored to be your bridge to the other side.

In this episode I'm talking to Carol Bowman about her research into children with past life memories.

What if you could see a loved one who has died, not in a future spiritual realm, but here and now, in this lifetime?

It is possible, says Carol Bowman, author of Children’s Past Lives and a pioneer in reincarnation studies. Based on in-depth research and direct observation of very young children, she shows in this groundbreaking book how common it is for beloved relatives to reincarnate into the same family. Typical families share how their children -- some as young as two and still in diapers -- speak spontaneously of intimate details from the lives of a family member they never knew. These true stories shed new light on age-old questions of family relationships: Do we choose our parents? What relationships survive death? What happens to the soul after a miscarriage or abortion? Bowman offers hope for anyone who has lost a beloved relative and longs to be reunited again.

Bio

Carol Bowman, M.S. is an internationally known author, lecturer, counselor, past life regression therapist, and pioneer in reincarnation studies.  Her books, Children’s Past Lives (Bantam, 1997) and Return from Heaven (HarperCollins, 2001) are now classics in the reincarnation field, and have been published and read around the world in 22 foreign editions.

Carol has been a practicing past life regression therapist for adults for more than 35 years.  She is a graduate of Simmons College in Boston.  She studied with the pioneers in the field of past life regression, and holds an M.S. in Counseling from Villanova University.

Carol has been a leading spokesperson for children’s past lives since the publication of her first book in 1997.  She is often invited to be a guest on TV and radio, and has appeared as a reincarnation expert on Oprah, Good Morning America, The Katie Show, Unsolved Mysteries, A&E, Discovery Channel, ABC Primetime, the BBC in England,  on The Art Bell Show, and on Coast to Coast with George Noory.  She has lectured in Brazil, Norway, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, Canada, the Netherlands, and at the Omega Institute and the Edgar Cayce Foundation.

Children’s Past Lives is the first non-academic book to explore the phenomenon of children’s spontaneous past life memories.  It tells Carol’s story of how her own children’s past life memories led her to do research.  It also includes a guidebook for parents, to teach them how to recognize and respond when their children have these memories.  Her research presents reincarnation as a practical reality in our lives and within our families.

Return from Heaven expands the research to cases of reincarnation within the same family. The true stories are emotionally charged because they document families as they discovered that a deceased family member has returned in a new body as a child in the family. It is a truly miraculous discovery for them.
