Near-death experiences

The Case for the Afterlife with Chris Carter

New Thinking AllowedAug 28, 2026

Oxford-educated physics teacher Chris Carter joins psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove to argue that science, done properly, does not rule out life after death and may actually support it. Carter lays out five independent lines of evidence, namely deathbed visions, near-death experiences, apparitions, children who remember past lives, and communication through mediums, which he says all point to the survival of consciousness. Highlights include a chess match allegedly played between a living grandmaster and a dead one through a medium, and a dying woman who 'saw' a sister whose death had been kept from her.
