Writer and filmmaker Paul Davids has documented over 100 after death communications with Forrest Ackerman.

To paraphrase an old saying, “some of us go seeking after-death communication, other have after-death communication thrust upon us.” That’s the experience of today’s guest, Paul Davids who’s had an amazing string of after-death communication experiences with a long-time friend and Hollywood monster movie legend Forrest Ackerman. Paul goes about trying to unravel this mystery by taking a scientific approach and carefully eliminating every possible explanation before concluding this is a case of genuine after-death communication. But as you’ll hear in this interview, Paul’s work also demonstrates the limits of the kind of research:

Alex Tsakiris: You can keep your iPhone and all of that, as long as you accept the fact that your dead relatives might be listening in to your conversations and your iPhone might pop-up with a weird message from angels. That is a very different kind of science than we’ve come to accept. If anything, it’s really more of a magical worldview.

Paul Davids: That magic that you’re talking about had never happened to me until these incidents started happening after Forry (Forrest Ackerman) died. For those who haven’t read An Atheist in Heaven, the first incident happened during the week of Forry’s tribute. There have been over 100 since then.

Read Excerpts From Interview:

Alex Tsakiris: Among the various evidence that you compile and present, which was really pretty remarkable, especially the sum-total of it, but the two Canadian filmmakers is really one of the hardest ones to shake. For anyone who’s technically inclined, I love the part where the guy goes to post something on Facebook and we’re all familiar with the CAPTCHA that comes up where you have to verify you’re a human and enter in something. We know those are just a random collection of letters and numbers. Up on the screen pops Ackerman with a capital A-zero-zero-zero. This is not to be believed and yet it’s verified by his colleague who has his own unexplainable [incident].

Paul Davids: Immediately. A message came out of his computer. A voice. When they began to question whether Forry was really dead, a voice out of his computer said, “Oh my gosh! No way!” And it was an animated emoticon that you can find on YouTube but he wasn’t logged on to YouTube and it wasn’t in his hard drive. As he and Johnston, he was the guy who had that computer, he said, my computer had no business talking to me. So that started things out. For me, I know you’re very interested in science, Alex. You’ve got a book [titled] Why Science is Wrong About Almost Everything. I don’t know if I would agree with the ‘almost everything’ part of it but I do agree that science has gotten so many things wrong in the past. Of course, science has tended to correct itself over the years. We do have aviation. We can fly. Rockets can go to the moon…all of these things. Views have changed. The Earth isn’t flat. But science has gotten it wrong and enforced its beliefs; really enforced certain attitudes and philosophies on whole populations of people, and put you in a position where you’re ridiculed if you don’t go along with the norm.
