Dying, Death & The Afterlife
- A lecture on the perspectives of death & afterlife by Dom
Villella.
We will take a look at many possibilities and experiences with the use
of: Parapsychology, Metaphysics & Thanatology observations. Dom
will discuss his own experiences from his kindle book, "Journey to an
Afterlife Time" and also as a paranormal investigator.
~Dom
began his studies in Parapsychology in 1998. Started Paranormal
Investigation of NYC in 2003 and began the NYC paranormal Meetup Group.
Ever since he was a child Dom had a fascination with unanswered
questions. From his first paranormal experience, he felt the need to
research the meaning of life and afterlife. In 2007 Dom began studying
Metaphysics & Thanatology to develop an understanding of the
process of dying. Dom is the author of "A Journey to an Afterlife Time"
available @ amazon.com (kindle addition). An afterlife journey based on
his own dreams, visions & actual experiences.

The Ed Sullivan piece aired last night.
Unfortunately they left out our organization name and any info on the
actual investigation. The skit was funny and we got a kick out of it,
we just wish people would have been able to see what we actually do.
Still it was an experience of a lifetime and CBS treated us great.
We were called: Ghostbusters, Rupert and the ghost hunters, and
Poltergeist hunters. Click the following link to view the video
captured. We ruled out any reflections, lights, laser beams, insects
and anything else possible and we were left with absolutely no
explanation:

Recent Developments - We have recently tried a
process called, "Positive energy transference." At a certain time on a
specified day a group of people will think of one specific person
determined beforehand, who
needs positive energy. Then we will all try and send energy, prayers,
good thoughts, and anything else positive to try
and improve that persons situation. So far 4 out of 4 peoples
situations have improved. This may be caused by positive thinking,
prayer or just a persons urge to improve there life, either way I am
happy that lives are being improved and whatever works we will
try. the woman from the Lower NYC investigations life has gradually
improved, she is in much better spirits than when I first met her and
she seems to be sleeping better.
