Other than the first Life
After Death Project, that starts with a seemingly innocent
incident and then goes to great length to try and prove paranormal
activity (not very conclusively though), this movie is far less thorough in
trying to actually prove its ghostly phenomena, rather lets people from
all walks of life talk about some occurences that they perceived as
paranormal - and that's it. Mainly it's the usual ghost stories with
people being drawn to "the light" during near death experiences,
people thinking that seeing the deceased in dreams or waking dreams is
proof enough for the beyond, strange noises always have to be attributed
to the next world, and whatever blows away sheets of paper isn't the draft
but ghost hands. Sure, some of the talking heads in this documentary claim
to actually have seen ghosts, but their claims are, if at all, only backed
by people close to them who are actually in the same room with them during
the interview, throwing any kind of objectivity out of the window ... Now
from above synopsis I'm sure you can tell I'm not really a firm believer
in the paranormal, people might even go so far as to call me a cynic who
bluntly refuses to open up to the idea of the paranormal as such - which
might be true, but has nothing to do with my perception of this film,
which doesn't even try to prove its eyewitness accounts, which refuses to
look at alternative explanations for rather trivial phenomena, and which
totally blocks out well-established pscyhological concepts like the
subconscious, like dream theory and the like. Basically, what I'm trying
to say here is, a sceptic like me is very unlikely to find even a hint of
evidence in this here little film - but I don't know, maybe those into the
paranormal will love it for its wealth on otherworldly stories - it's just
not a film bridging (or trying to bridge) the two strands of belief.
