Most intellectual.. but... 4 out of 5 stars.

After reading Dr. Holzar's book I was most impressed by the intellectual caliber of his writings. Its first class. He also raised and comparatively discussed the religious vs. straight science points of view concerning survival of biological death. He gives good advise on how to be skeptical and ask the right questions, have doubts where you should when dealing with psychic mediums. ( I just found one who was reading me through asking questions, but definately not communicating with the beyond) I was amazed by how many chapters Dr. Holzar devoted to anecdotal stories his respondents had told. I found some of them, especially the spooky ones with faces inside orbs just a bit beyond the pale. Perhaps he should recognize, having a first rank mind and apparently some training in science, that such tales should be treated with the highest of skepticisms. For example he relates one tale of two teenage girls who for some undisclosed reason, decide to bunk in an old house over night. The girls are terrorized by alleged foot steps tramping up stairs. Later on a subsequent evening they get a boy friend to sleep down stairs while they again bunk up. The whole footstep scenario repeats.
Doc Holzar, have you never been a father of a teenager? Do you not know their fascination with such imaginary bumps in the night and hysterical need to tell frightful chilling stories? Not saying it didn't happen, but when folks tell such extraordinary tales, it needs extraordinary proof.
However, this soft spot in the book did not detract from its over all fine quality.
The Doc asks us to be skeptical, but I guess its a case of do as I say, not as I have done.
Editorial Review:
In this carefully researched book, Hans Holzer, one of the world's leading investigators of the supernatural, presents compelling accounts of encounters with the spirit world. Filled with astounding information about what awaits us after the grave, Life Beyond documents true case histories of individuals who have stood at the threshold of another dimension, lived in previous incarnations, or had first-hand experiences with others who have passed over.
