Welcome to the world of Evelyn Elsaesser

Giving a scientific voice to lived experiences surrounding death

Have you ever felt the presence of a deceased loved one, seen or heard them, or perceived a scent unique to them announcing their presence? Perhaps you have felt their touch or perceived a reassuring message informing you they are alive and well? If so, you have most likely experienced an After-Death Communication (ADC).

An ADC occurs when a person unexpectedly perceives a deceased family member or friend. These contacts are spontaneous, apparently initiated by the deceased, and they are direct, without the involvement of mediums, hypnosis, or an otherwise mediated contact.
Since 2018, we have been conducting an international long-term research project on the phenomenology and impact of ADCs. Discover the results of our research through our publications, which present these comforting and transformative experiences by combining scientific data, testimonies, and analyses.

My books, book chapters, videos, and podcasts allow me to share our work with the public and the scientific community, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of consciousness and its manifestations.

I also provide information on near-death experiences (NDEs) and end-of-life experiences (ELEs), offering complementary perspectives on consciousness in extreme situations, at the intersection of scientific rigor and a deeply human dimension.

Take part in our survey!

If you have experienced a spontaneous contact with a deceased person and would like to share it, you are warmly invited to complete the survey questionnaire.
