WTF Just Happened?!: All about the afterlife. No woo.

Elizabeth Rea uses psychic abilities to advise CEOs and founders on high-stakes decisions, and previously worked with US federal agents solving cold murder cases. She's the founder of Insightful, where she provides expanded intelligence to help leaders make clearer decisions in complex business environments. Her work spans solving unsolved murders and guiding executives toward better outcomes.
Rea had a near-death experience at 16 in a McDonald's bathroom. During the incident, she watched from outside her body as a nurse checked her pulse on a white Timex watch. She could hear people's thoughts and feel their emotions. That experience revealed to her that consciousness exists independently of the physical body.
Her ability to access this expanded intelligence later helped solve a cold murder case in a Napa Valley tavern that had been unsolved for 20 years. She saw a man with dirty blonde hair and a white T-shirt, and visualized an old Cadillac with a tail fin. Thirty days after sharing these details, DNA evidence identified the murderer serving time in a Colorado prison. He had stolen the exact white Cadillac she described.
Now Rea works confidentially with ethical founders, CEOs, and investors worldwide. Her clients seek her out for clarity, sharper decision-making, and understanding the forces at play in complex situations. She discusses how the CIA has infiltrated psychic programs and why government agencies continue using psychic abilities despite public denial.

Professor Callum E. Cooper, PhD has spent two decades researching parapsychology and haunting cases with scientific rigor. His research covers out-of-body experiences, phone calls from the dead, mediumship cases, and death bed apparitions. Unlike the dismissal of paranormal research as woo, his work is grounded in psychology, statistics, and field investigation. He holds PhDs in social sciences, serves on the council of the Society for Psychical Research, and has written multiple books providing evidence that challenges conventional explanations.
Cooper studied classic haunting cases like the Cheltenham Ghost, where an apparition appeared repeatedly and could be tracked through a house. Researchers could experiment with it, follow it, and document its behavior over time. The apparition cast shadows, was seen from windows, and left questions that remain unexplained even today. He investigated Dr. Alex Tanous, who was tested for 20 years for out-of-body experiences. During experiments, strain gages were activated when Tannis performed well on remote viewing tasks. He achieved remarkable statistical outcomes describing objects in distant rooms through optical illusion devices.
Cooper's work includes phone calls from the deceased and the living, mediumship cases with verified details, and Gansfeld experiments showing statistically significant results in extrasensory perception research. Even skeptics acknowledge the statistical outcomes from Gansfeld studies are more replicated than expected in psychology. His approach separates genuine unexplained phenomena from hoaxes and hallucinations through rigorous analysis.
Liz and Professor Cooper discuss his most compelling cases, what remains unexplained in parapsychology research, how logical thinking supports rather than dismisses paranormal evidence, and what his research reveals about consciousness, death, and afterlife.

Vincent (Vinney) Tolman died in 2003 in a Dairy Queen bathroom after taking an accidental overdose of a supplement. Clinically dead, he was bagged and transported to a medical examiner. A rookie medic broke protocol and resuscitated him. What makes his case compelling: while clinically dead, Vinney had verifiable experiences that challenge our understanding of consciousness  and what happens when we die.
 
While his body lay dead in a bathroom, Vinney's consciousness watched from outside his body. He observed paramedics attempting resuscitation, watched his body being bagged, saw the ambulance, and witnessed specific medical procedures including defibrillation shocks. He watched his arm being strapped down in the ICU. When he reconnected with his body, he could verify details he had no way of knowing while unconscious.
He also had some remarkable and transformational experiences in a non physical dimension. Including some people and beings he met there, which later provided shocking evidence that something very real was going on.  
Vinney's case included observable elements that corroborate his account. He describes what he saw while dead, what was verifiable, and what this suggests about consciousness continuing after brain death. This is a documented case of someone who experienced verifiable events while clinically dead, providing evidence that consciousness may exist independently of brain function.

Dr. Debra Lynne Katz uses remote viewing to find missing people, predict future outcomes, and locate lost objects. She's founder of the International School of Clairvoyance and former president of the International Remote Viewing Association, a practicing clairvoyant, medium, and parapsychological researcher.
Remote viewing isn't what you think. Clients hire Dr. Katz to predict crypto and stock movements, find missing jewelry and pets, hunt buried treasure, and locate missing people. She worked with police on a case where a two-year-old boy went missing in Oregon. She described the location matching where his body was found in the river.
Dr. Katz discovered her psychic abilities at 27 after realizing she and her identical twin sister had lifelong synchronicities. What started as personal practice became a mission teaching others that psychic abilities aren't rare. Everyone can develop them.
But here's what's surprising: even the most celebrated remote viewers sometimes hit and sometimes miss. Dr. Katz spent years researching why performance varies. Her studies reveal consistency problems nobody talks about. When she had judges re-score hundreds of sessions, ratings ranged from 3 to 6.5 on the same session. This led her to explore AI judging for reliability humans can't achieve.
Liz and Dr. Katz discuss retrocausality, the theory that future events impact the present, why remote viewing becomes addictive, and her groundbreaking research on remote viewing viruses and using AI to analyze psychic data.
