After-Death Communications Project
The ADC Project was created
by Bill and Judith Guggenhiem in May, 1988 to conduct the first in-depth research of After-Death Communications. They
interviewed 2,000 people who live in all 50 American states and the 10 Canadian provinces. They collected more than 3,300 firsthand accounts from people who believe they have been contacted by a
deceased loved one.
Afterlife Experiments
In stringently monitored experiments, leading mediums attempted to contact dead friends and relatives of "sitters" who were masked from view and never spoke, depriving the mediums of any cues. The messages that came through stunned sitters and researchers alike.
Prof. Schwartz was forced by the overwhelmingly positive data to abandon his scepticism, reaching some startling conclusions.
