There are many instances of brief
contact been established from beyond the moment of death. The problem of course is that all such
contact has been one on one and impossible to independently confirm. This is a typical example with the modern
twist of been able to use the computer to do the actual messaging.
It is noteworthy that the sender
does use a unique point of shared experience to confirm his identity. This is again a common thread in such reports
that make you sit up and take notice. Of
course, it does not rule out a subconscious rendering by the witness who
necessarily is part of the equation.
I am still waiting for truly new
information been passed on. That would
be a real test that would get my attention but there are also plenty of good
reasons for that to be way too difficult.
On the other hand, I have
experienced precognition that was useful and implausible to rationalize. I have also briefly visited what can only be
described as the afterlife of my long deceased mother and attended at her
abode. What made it convincing was the
new information that I received during the visit and the fact that I was not
necessarily close to my mother.
Thus we need to take these
reports seriously as they also encourage an active interest in the spiritual
journey however blind the majority are to the subject. I find amusing recent work on ‘luminous
dreaming’ in which the researcher is struggling to present an objective
interpretation not connected in any way with spiritual ideas. Yet he is describing a highly repeatable set
of circumstances that have been subjected to serious testing that pretty well
meet the sniff test far better than we get in this item.
Emails from dead man’s account helping family and friends find closure
By Eric

When Jack Froese, 32, died of a heart arrhythmia in June 2011, he left
behind a number of grieving friends and family members. But the BBC reports that
several mysterious posthumous emails from Froese's account have brought some
happiness and closure to those who were closest to him.
Last November, five months after Froese's death, his childhood best
friend Tim Art received an email from Froese's account.
"One night in November, I was sitting on my couch, going through
my emails on my phone and it popped up, 'sender: Jack Froese.' I turned ghost
white when I read it," Hart told the BBC. "It was very quick and
short but to a point that only Jack and I could relate on."
The email had the subject heading, "I'm Watching." While the
text of the message itself read, "Did you hear me? I'm at your house.
Clean your f***ing attic!!!"
Hart says that shortly before Froese's death, the two had a private conversation
in Hart's attic, during which Froese teased him over the attic's messy state.
"Just he and I up there. That's it," Hart said.
Froese's cousin Jimmy McGraw also claims to have received a posthumous
email from Froese, warning him about an ankle injury that occurred after his
cousin's death.
"I'd like to say Jack sent it, just because I look at it as he's
gone, but he's still trying to connect with me. Trying to tell me to move
along, to feel better," McGraw said.
For now, the source of the emails remains a mystery. But that's OK with
Hart, who says that even if the emails are coming from a cruel prankster who
has hacked Froese's account, he doesn't mind. "If somebody's joking
around, I don't care because I take it whatever way I want," he said.
What's interesting and unique about this case is that the emails all
had a personal touch. There have been several reported cases of emails sent
from a deceased person's account, but those usually can be easily traced back
to spam accounts that have accessed the deceased person's information.
Facebook has had somewhat similar
problems for several years, with the social networking site sending
automated notifications encouraging users to "reconnect" with the
accounts of users who have died. Under normal circumstance, the feature is
meant to help connect users who travel in similar social circles. In an 2010
New York Times story, Facebook said it was actively addressing how best to
handle accounts belonging to users who have died.
And there are even options for those who would intentionally like to
send emails from beyond the grave. The website Dead Man's Switch, lets you write
email drafts that will be sent to a group of preselected recipients after your
death. The site explains exactly how they're able to know when to send the
emails:
"The emails are sent at certain intervals. By default, the switch
will email you 30, 45, and 52 days after you last showed signs of life. If you
don't respond to any of those emails, all your messages will be sent 60 days
after your last check-in."
And if you're simply looking for advice on preparing for your Web-based
afterlife, the site Digital
Beyond offers ongoing tips about preparing your online identity for after
your death.
