>I think that dead European scientist making phone calls to living scientists is fake.

Wouldn't his friends and colleagues be in a better position to determine his authenticity than you?

>Why does he give technological advice but not the information we all want to know about the afterlife?

It seems logical to me that the first step to being able to communicate anything else would to improve the lines of communication, period. Then they would be free to discourse on something else they might want to.

In any case, you can't use your own assumptions about what is important as a guide to measuring the authenticity of such a communication. People are people. They had particular interests when they were embodied and, barring the complete loss of their personality, should be expected to maintain many of those even after they are freed of their mortal coil. If a scientist interested in developing this technology before they died wanted to talk about something wholly unrelated, then, perhaps, you should be skeptical.

I see this objection all the time. When mediums get "trivial" information like about how much they love their still-living children and how much they want them to know they are okay, skeptics respond by saying: "Why don't they ever say anything more important, like provide useful technologies?" Here we have an example of just such a bit of information and the underlying skepticism simply shifts targets. I could have linked you to a "channeled" discourse on the afterlife--e.g., Jane Robert's--and you or someone else would have objected that it wasn't about something that was "more" important still....

So there is no good data to support the hypothesis that EMFs are a potential mechanism for the physicality of entities....But one would think that would be easy to test....Right?????

And OK, I get the experiences and I don't doubt there are experiences. "There isn't even a paper anywhere that will outright state any of this as it's flatly a 'connect-the-dots' kind of thing that the few folks willing to dig into Mediaeval and Renaissance manuscripts to look at the documented experiences (journals were well kept on this subject by some of the finest minds of those times). " I would say people are trying to connect the dots.

You might find these interesting....A little more recent and I think you will find that there is good work going on and people are trying to connect the dots. Always good to keep up on the more recent literature.

ABSTRACT. Previous research in electromagnetic and geomagnetic fields (EMF and GMF) and their relationship to paranormal phenomena has been performed under the theoretical assumptions of hallucination due to GMF fields. The current study tests the possibility that nonhallucinatory paranormal phenomena are also associated with EMF/GMF fields. EMF and GMF perturbations were examined in context of collected potential phenomena with data logging equipment at a haunted site with no electricity. Overall results indicate that EMF and GMF fields were significantly greater in both magnitude and variability inside-the-location compared to outside-the-location baseline measurements. Differences in GMF magnitude were small compared to EMF. Through correlation, EMF/GMF fields were demonstrated to change in range and location throughout the duration of the investigation. Results involving individual reviewed phenomena indicate that phenomena are strongly and significantly associated with serial EMF and GMF spikes, that both increases and decreases in EMF/GMF fields are not differentially predictive of phenomena, and that increases in the number (i.e., duration) of serial spikes do not differentially predict phenomena.

EXCELLENT RESOURCE. I highly recommend this book. It covers many of the topics were are discussing here.

Well, what do you mean by "paranormal"?

I'd recommend Chris Carter's trilogy on parapsychology and survival research, found here, here and here. These are jam-packed with evidence and settles the case conclusively. I've yet to see a refutation of these books.

Something quite unrelated might be the evidence for UFOs being aliens, in the form of this, although I'm not very well-versed in how good that is. But that's probably a great place to start.

Stevenson did some very interesting work tracking down the stories of children who remembered previous lives, and there's a more informal account of his work here: http://www.amazon.com/Life-Before-Childrens-Memories-Previous/dp/031237674X

His angle was to collect stories and then try to confirm the details of the stories, finding the specific previous life the child remembered. Working in cultures which accepted reincarnation enabled him to more easily find subjects and check their details. The birth defect study is an off-shoot of that.

Scientific equipment is generally quite expensive. But I think you can make due with:

TriField Meter https://www.amazon.com/Trifield-100XE-EMF-Meter/dp/B00050WQ1G


Sound Level Meter https://www.amazon.com/COLEMETER-Digital-30-130dB-Batteries-included/dp/B01M67N973/ref=sr_1_7?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1506135018&sr=1-7&keywords=sound+meter

But most meters start at slightly above infrasound levels.
