“Life after death.” What or who is waiting for us beyond the final line? Is there a “light at the end of the tunnel” or is it just the baseless fantasies of religious fanatics? Many people believe that the soul is capable of reincarnation - rebirth in another form of existence. Others claim that the souls of dead people turn into ghosts, hindering or, conversely, helping those who continue to live. Is there any truth to these statements? In the first chapter we will introduce you to thanatology - the science of death; Let us present photographs to the court as evidence of the existence of ghosts. In the chapter “Reincarnation” we will consider in detail the possibility of transmigration of souls, historical facts that can serve as confirmation that the human soul is capable of again receiving flesh and blood. The chapter “Interview with a Ghost” is devoted to the testimonies of people who met ghosts and even received news from the other world. We will tell you about how shamans establish contacts with the other world, allowing mere mortals to communicate with those who have already passed into oblivion. “The last calm” or do we only dream of peace? Is the churchyard as quiet and serene as it might seem at first glance? Or does it have its own, no less stormy “life”? “Sometimes They Come Back” is the title of one of Stephen King’s most mystical and terrible novels. “They” come into our world as if they were their own, “they” try to influence our lives. What do “they” need from us, the living? Is this connected with the desire to help us live on, or do “they” want us to join “them” as quickly as possible? The issue “Life after Death” is dedicated to these and other equally interesting topics.
