Is There an Afterlife? A Comprehensive Overview of the Evidence

David Fontana surveys historical and contemporary evidence offered for survival after physical death, placing modern claims within more than a century of psychical research. The discussion considers how reports of paranormal phenomena have been investigated and assessed over time.

Particular attention is given to mediumship and other evidence concerning consciousness beyond the body, alongside perspectives from parapsychology, transpersonal psychology and spiritual enquiry. Fontana writes as a psychologist and former President of the Society for Psychical Research, presenting the case for an afterlife through documented claims and research rather than treating survival as an established fact. The book reflects the long-running debate between materialist explanations and interpretations that allow for continued consciousness after death.
