At the Hour of Death: A New Look at Evidence for Life After Death Paperback – October 9, 2012
by Erlendur Haraldsson Ph D (Author), Karlis Osis Ph D (Author)
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 59 ratings
We can be certain that the body does not survive death. Once the heart stops circulating blood, the brain is no longer nourished and begins to decay. On the basis of medical evidence it would seem that, within a quarter of an hour, the personality is irreparably destroyed and the individual ceases to exist. But now there is mounting scientific evidence for a life after death. In At the Hour of Death, veteran psychical researchers Karlis Osis, Ph.D and Erlendur Haraldsson, Ph.D collated compelling evidence that suggests we, as conscious beings, do survive physical death. This book is the product of extensive interviews of over 1,000 doctors and nurses who have been present when cases of “post-mortem existence” have occurred. Extensive computer analyses of their observations have been made. The results are reported in this first truly scientific investigation of the experiences of the dying at the hour of death. What these doctors and nurses have witnessed cannot be explained away by medical, psychological, cultural, or other conditioning. Yet it may answer the fundamental question of human existence. “Finally, a book that probes death and dying with modern research techniques. Osis and Haraldsson present compelling evidence that the deathbed is the gateway to another existence. The visions of the dying appear to be not hallucinations but glimpses through the windows of eternity.” -Alan Vaughan, editor of New Realities Magazine “A major contribution to the scientific study of the question of post-mortem existence. -Raymond A. Moody, M.D., author of Life After Life

- siamk5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Study of Death Bed VisionsReviewed in the United States on April 9, 2023Verified PurchaseThis is a detailed scientific study of death bed visions in two cultures (America and India). To my knowledge there is no other study as comprehensive as this one. While not always an easy read the information given is worth plowing through this book.
The study is based on research obtained nearly fifty years ago. While I think a newer study should be conducted until that is done this is the premier study on death bed visions.
HelpfulReport - Patricia C.5.0 out of 5 stars So interesting.Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020Verified PurchaseI love this book. It is so interesting & I can’t put it down. I am glad I bought it.

HelpfulReport - Malcolm A. Lunsford5.0 out of 5 stars Great bookReviewed in the United States on January 24, 2014Verified PurchaseOne of “My Guys” on Indiana’s Death Row wanted to read it. So I bought the book for him. Before sending it I read it myself. Great read.

It just gave about ten …Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2015Verified PurchaseThe book was incomplete. It just gave about ten examples of personal accounts of life after death. The rest of the book was about how they obtained their results and their analysis and opinions. But the book included very few personal anecdotes I do not know if complete chapters were lost when transcribing the words into the kindle or what.

Euphemia5.0 out of 5 stars This book is an excellentReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2016Verified PurchaseIt really is about time we brought all the evidence (gathered over centuries) to understanding Who we are, and the reasons fro coming to this benighted World. Not much to do with religions, and all to do with Spirituality.This book is an excellent compliation
ReportChandratara3.0 out of 5 stars Chandra Tara singhReviewed in India on September 8, 2018Verified PurchaseGood read
ReportIanrah665.0 out of 5 stars I would highly recommend this bookReviewed in the United Kingdom on October 23, 2014Verified PurchaseI would highly recommend this book. It looks at Death from a scientific perspective. The first two chapters are a little slow but it is more than made up by the following chapters and the real life examples. It may change your perspective on things.
ReportPierced organ4.0 out of 5 stars well written bookReviewed in the United Kingdom on September 7, 2013Verified Purchasei liked this book and it kept me reading and going over bits again and again as its a fascinating subject,im more interested in scientific looks at survival of the soul but that by no means means that any other phenomena is not taking place just because we cannot study it in a scientific setting if you get me?? we can only look at this with what we have at this moment in time but things are constantly changing.i recommend this for those going thru someone passing over and for carers and nurse oh and those godlike doctors that doubt doubt doubt……….they should really look at dr eben alexanders book and he is a brain surgeon.
