Welcome to Our Paranormal Afterlife.

This is an Our Paranormal Afterlife classic episode, and I'm your host Simon Bown.

I've been thinking about a few standout episodes from the early days of the podcast.

They're full of great information, and I thought it would be a good idea to share them again

for listeners who may have missed them the first time around.

This particular episode dates back to 2018.

My guest is Robert Snow, and I'm talking to him about his book, Portrait of a Past Life Skeptic,

the true story of a police detective's reincarnation.

Robert, thank you very much for coming onto the Past Lives podcast.

It's very kind of you to give us your time.

I appreciate you ask it.

First of all, could you tell us about your career in the police and how

that started? Well, yeah, I actually became a police officer by accident. I really never had any

intention growing up or anything to be a police officer. I was in the military during the Vietnam

war, and after I was discharged, I got home, I was just looking for a job.

Well, my brother was a police officer at the Nass Police Department, and of course, this is during,

I got out in 1968, and the war were still, I did my four years, but the war were still going on,

so there weren't a whole lot of young men available to serve in the police department, so they

were really looking for people.

My brother suggested, well, come on down, they're hiring, and I needed a job, and I just went down and stayed there for 38 years. It was just one of those things I just think I got dispelled into and turned it to be a great, because the only thing I'd ever really want to be in my life was a writer. I never wanted to be anything else.

My earliest memories, all I wanted to be as a writer.

But being in police work, I was right. The thing I ever really wanted to be in my life was a writer. I never wanted to be anything else.
