Williams, Bryan J. "Can A Person Really Survive After Death? A Look At The Evidence Of Three Types Of Suggestive Phenomena Found In Religious Beliefs." Journal Of Religion & Psychical Research April 22, 1999: 209. Web.

This article explores the different types of after death in certain religions and how these myths and beliefs hold up. Most religions believe that there is a new world or a new state of being after death, and this article goes into detail over the evidence that claims these ideas to be true, and how they came to be. The article addresses hauntings and paranormal phenomenons as experienced from different cultures and religions and how their encounters with these beings have created these beliefs that one is not gone from this earth when they die. The main focus of this article are the three type of anomalous phenomena: near-death and out of body experiences, apparitional and haunting phenomena, and instances that are similar to reincarnation.

As I go about choosing my sources, a different perspective is the most useful for me because it provides various arguments. This author gives us a historical and religious perspective to these phenomenons. He provides insight into what different cultures have seen like Native Americans having one experience and Doggo Tribes of Africa having a completely different, or in some cases similar experience. A long with cultures, he provides examples of religious experiences and encounters that have created these ideas of the after-life and in some cases help further provide evidence for such ideas.
