I want answers after Wendy’s death. I’ve always been a rational person, but since she died, I’ve had some, uh, mystical experiences. Not nearly as many as I would like, though.
The book is a pretty good microhistory of scientific investigation into the afterlife, though the author’s jokey style is often irritating. She ought to have more confidence in her subject matter and research or, at least, have better jokes.
I just finished a chapter today about electro-magnetic fields and their effect on the brain’s right lobe. Essentially, the right EMF can create hallucinations in some people that feel ghosty.
She points out that the stress of grieving can release hormones that do the same. I have to admit that my heart sank when I read that.
