Victor Zammit's Website and Weekly Afterlife Newsletter
Victor Zammit's Weekly Newsletter was initially one of the most useful resources for me, you can easily sign up for the newsletter here: https://www.victorzammit.com/archives/index.html . Their weekly newsletter includes carefully selected articles and links, making it easier to find reliable content amid the vast resources on the internet. Receiving this newsletter every Friday in my email brings inspiration and provides me with topics to explore further.
Victor Zammit and his wife have shared valuable information on the afterlife, near-death experiences, after-death communication, and more for over 20 years. Victor's website: https://www.victorzammit.com also has a vast range of information about the afterlife and is well worth delving into.

Based in the UK, Zach's House is dedicated to helping the bereaved through their "4 pillars of support" and to further our understanding of consciousness through research using innovative methods. Parents who have children across the veil can join a group meditation every Tuesday evening at 7pm UK time and/or at 7pm EST, and an open chat on a Friday also starting at 7pm UK time both via Zoom. Martin and Krista who run Zach’s house with their son Zack, in spirit, are amazing. They, like me, set out to find their child when he “went home”. They have created a psychomanteum in their house and have a lot of technical equipment capturing physical phenomena. Here is the link to their website https://www.zachshouse.org.uk
Stewart Alexander
I first wrote to Stewart Alexander in 2021 when I read his book, An Extraordinary Journey: The Memoirs of a Physical Medium. I asked if I could sit as a guest in his circle. It was during Covid and it was another two years before his circle started receiving guests again. However, everything was in perfect order as Sally and other group members were visiting from the USA and we all sat in his circle together. It was mind-blowing to witness traditional physical mediumship. We experienced many of the phenomena Stewart writes about in his book first-hand, it was an unforgettable experience. Sally and I continue to keep in contact with Stewart and we are very appreciative of his interest in Sally's mediumship and what she is doing.
Here is the introduction to his book from Amazon: "In the little known and controversial world of physical mediumship, Stewart Alexander is probably the least controversial and most respected among his peers and skeptics alike. His abilities - including extraordinary physical phenomena, evidence from loved ones, and book tests - have been experienced and put to the test by countless people for more than forty years. What started out as a curiosity through reading and study more than fifty years ago became his life's work - a life of patience, perseverance and service to the living and to the Spirit world, as he gradually overcame his own doubt and developed the ability to join the two worlds together. An Extraordinary Journey is personal and moving - yet it's more than a memoir - it's a spiritual guide, a history of Spiritualism that includes a plethora of sitter's first hand experiences - often wondrous, sometimes deeply emotional, but never dull."
Here is the link to Stewart's website https://stewartalexandermedium.com and a link to his book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1786771373/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1786771373&linkCode=as2&t
Sally Stacey
Sally Stacey has an extraordinary form of mediumship. On her website, https://sallystacey.com, and YouTube site, https://www.youtube.com/@sallystacey6758, you will find hundreds of examples of objective spirit communication and physical phenomena. This is compelling evidence of the greater reality that life continues beyond this lifetime.
The Live Conversations I have had with Ellie through Sally's mediumship have profoundly impacted my grief. They feel like a two-way conversation with her. (see my journey for more on this). However, Live interactive conversations with those across the veil are a small part of the amazing tangible evidence that Sally has recorded.
Here is a link to an example of voice coming through in Zoom meetings. It is Ellie and it is her vocal tone! I sent Sally a small clip of Ellie’s voice recorded whilst she was here to compare with the recorded voice. It is from the beginning of a song Ellie wrote, and it says “that dark oblivion that we call sleep”. The similarity of this to that recorded during our meditation just blows me away. https://youtu.be/HLEkGiAAvv0
Here is a link to the first time I heard voice from spirit whilst conducting a connection session with a client, physical evidence of the presence of spirit. This was, of course, amazing, and I am very grateful to Sally for her ability to hear what is being said and to her team in spirit, Symphony, who are helping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGr98EZdwio
Sally's son Tommy is in spirit, and she has a Facebook community called The Heart Smiles Circle, which is specifically for parents who have children in spirit. Here you can join meditations with Sally, have a Loving Heart Connections 1:1 session with me, join our twice monthly meetings to practice your connection to your loved one and if you live in Eastern time zones you can access Zach's house meditations. Here is the link to request access to this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/916182745754142
Anyone is welcome to follow her public Facebook page to keep up-to-date developments in phenomena: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553911658342
Sally has playlists for the evidence she has recorded. There are hundreds of videos documenting experiences including:
Voice messages in text threads
Live conversations
Voice heard in videos
Voice heard during Zoom meetings
Three-way phone calls
Listen to what I hear
Car number plate signs
Supermarket Conversations
Channelled Orbs …and the list continues. If you seek tangible evidence life of life, this is the place to go.
I now work in a small team of people who assist Sally. We are currently editing a book which contains the experiences of over twenty parents through her mediumship. It will be published early 2025 and I will post a link when it is complete. It will be a groundbreaking book that will help many people in their journey here on earth.
I know how hard Sally works and how she is dedicated to recording the evidence bring proof of the greater reality. Sally's team, across the veil, is called Symphony, a collective of people in spirit working through her mediumship. Her mediumship is continually evolving. It is a privilege to be able to work with her and I have experienced many phenomena first hand. It is a fascinating journey for which I am immensely grateful.
The Windbridge Research Centre
The mission of the Windbridge Research Center https://www.windbridge.org is to ease suffering around dying, death, and what comes next by performing rigorous scientific research and sharing the results and other customised content with the general public, clinicians (like medical and mental health professionals), scientists (like researchers and philosophers), and practitioners (like mediums). It was a nice option to "Pick your Path" in the drop downs, which can help you navigate the site.
Scientific research has been conducted to explore whether the connection mental mediums have to those in the afterlife is authentic. Mental mediums connect to the deceased with their minds and relay the communication from the loved one across the veil to the sitter.
They may hear a voice in their mind, they interpret for the sitter. Dr. Julie Beischel, co-founder of the Windbridge Institute, is one of the leading researchers studying the capabilities of mental mediums through rigorous scientific methods. Her work examines whether these mediums can accurately convey information about the deceased without prior knowledge or sensory cues. Through double- and triple-blind studies, Dr. Beischel has found evidence suggesting that certain mediums can relay specific, accurate information about deceased individuals at a statistically significant level, beyond chance or general statements.
Here is a short video where Dr Beischel explains the scientific evidence for life after death through the accuracy and experiences of mediums https://www.windbridge.org/education/afterlife2021/
Finding an Accredited Medium
I found it very helpful to watch mediums giving gallery readings on the Helping Parents Heal YouTube site https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEQ8b1v4dudVfKneKBEELng It gave me confidence early on that Ellie, our daughter, was still there. It was even better to attend these sessions live on Zoom and I have had a few gallery readings all of which were excellent. Watching the recorded sessions on YouTube will also give you a feel for different mediums, and if you are thinking of having a reading, you might find one which resonates with you. All mediums in HPH sessions are accredited by the organisation and have satisfied their testing process.
Mark Ireland Certified Mediums
He states "It has been established that evidential readings, or sittings as they are also called, can provide a therapeutic benefit to bereaved persons. Conversely, poor-quality readings with lesser mediums or fraudulent persons can derail the healing process for the bereaved". He explains more about the accreditation process and has a list of accredited mediums here: https://www.findacertifiedmedium.com/about/ If you page down you will find some who are based in the UK.

UVA Division of Perceptual Studies - Life after Death - moderated by John Cleese https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RGizqsLumo
The University of Virginia’s Division of Perceptual Studies research portfolio includes investigating children who have memories of past lives; the nature of consciousness and the mind-body relationship; neuro-imaging studies of psi events; and individuals who report experiencing near-death experiences(NDEs). In this panel, the legendary actor, writer, and comedian, John Cleese, convenes DOPS research faculty to present an overview of the research to which they have dedicated their academic careers.
Aerospace entrepreneur Robert T. Bigelow founded the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS) in April 2020 to support research into both the survival of human consciousness after physical death and, based on data from such studies, the nature of the afterlife. For decades, Robert Bigelow has supported serious investigations into consciousness and manifestations of unusual phenomena that are not yet understood by science.
What was Unique About the BICS Challenge?
Unlike the majority of research on the survival of human consciousness after death in the past 150 years, BICS decided to use an innovative approach. BICS boldly built on the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt obtained during the 2021 BICS Essay Contest and assumed (i) that the afterlife was real and (ii) that mediums could obtain valid information from the afterlife about the success or failure of acquiring an increase in spirituality since 1857. Based upon this data from the BICS Essay Competition, BICS was not interested in “testing” mediums. Rather, BICS focused on wisdom acquisition, in the form of querying the afterlife through sixty-seven mediums from six international teams on four foundational, interlinked, existential questions.
The three top essays were written by Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove, Dr. Pim van Lommel and Dr. Leo Ruickbie. These are definitely worth reading and there is a lot of interesting material in many of the other essays.
