After-Death Communications (ADCs)
Thanks to a generous grant from a foundation, an ambitious multilingual project entitled 'Investigation of the phenomenology and impact of spontaneous and direct After-Death Communications (ADCs)' was conducted from February 2018 to January 2020. The second phase of the project started in July 2021 and will be completed in June 2024.
By collecting information about how ADCs occur and unfold, and by analyzing their impact on individuals’ lives, we aim to make these results accessible to people who face the death of a loved one, as well as to anyone sensitized to the finite nature of human existence.
ADCs
Project
During the first phase of this multilingual survey, we collected a large amount of data on the characteristics, unfolding and circumstances of the occurrence of ADCs, as well as on their impact on the experients, including on their grieving process.
