Welcome to Our Paranormal Afterlife.

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

These classic episodes are 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 week I'm talking to David Ditchfield about his book Shine On.

David had a near-death experience when he had an accident that involved him being pulled under a train.

Since his near-death experience,

David has had profound life changes. He now paints incredible pictures and has composed a symphony that was performed by an orchestra. If you want to see his paintings and hear his music,

you can go to his website, shine on the story.com.

During the interview, we talk about the paintings,

so if you're in a position to look at his website while listening to this podcast,

that will give you a much better idea of what we're talking about.

Hi, David, thanks a lot for coming onto the podcast.

It's great to be able to talk to you.

Oh, pleasure. Thanks for having me along.

Your book was really fascinating, and it's not just a book that talks about specifically

the near-death experience, but it talks about all sorts of other things in your life.

And you start the book off with a visit to a medium that tells you something's sort of going to happen.

That's right, yeah.

So what happened there, and why did you choose to start the book there?

Well, basically, I mean, I figured that, well, I've gone to see that medium,

and that wasn't at the point of my life where spirituality had even entered my thought pattern at all.

So I guess I thought that was a good place to start
