At The Windbridge Institute in Tucson, Arizona, USA, from 2008, Dr Julie Beischel has been conducting fascinating research with mediums to demonstrate that there is life after death. Basically, she uses three methods to study the phenomenon of mediumship: proof-focused research, involving tests to verify whether the mediums are giving accurate information; process-focused research, which studies the experience of the mediums during their spiritual communications; and applied research, which examines how the information can benefit society in general. The mediums studied by Dr Beischel have given accurate
information about deceased people which was subsequently verified. Dr Beischel’ s results confirm the hypothesis that the spirit survives death. We emailed Dr Julie Beischel in August 2011 to ask more about the scientific method which she applies in these investigations. She said that she uses strict controls to investigate the phenomenon of mediumship through a scientific program that contains a great amount of data:
“ At The Windbridge Institute, we are primarily interested in mediumship, ITC [ instrumental transcommunication ] and haunting-related occurrences.
