Welcome to Our Paranormal Afterlife.

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

At Our Paranormal Afterlife, my mission is to explore evidence that we continue beyond physical

death. These episodes encompass reincarnation, near-death experiences, spirit communication,

deathbed visions and other extraordinary phenomena. And there is an Our Paranormal Afterlife

Facebook group. If you'd like to join, you'd be very welcome. You can enjoy the extended

He is authored and published 30 peer-reviewed law journal articles and six books.
