The American Paranormal
In November 2022, Dr. Stephen Dietrich-Kolokouris died. Not metaphorically. His heart stopped - pulseless ventricular tachycardia, three defibrillations, five minutes of clinical death - and his attending physicians documented what followed as a near-death experience.
What he encountered in those minutes could not be explained by the frameworks he had spent a career constructing. So he went looking for answers.
The American Paranormal is the result: a rigorous, historically grounded investigation spanning 150 years of American consciousness research. From the Fox Sisters and the birth of Spiritualism, to the wartime s ances of the Victorian scientific establishment, to modern laboratory research into mediumship, ITC, and anomalous cognition - this is not New Age speculation. It is documented history, examined with the methods of a trained historian and the questions of someone who has been to the edge and back.
Drawing on primary sources, firsthand case investigations, and the work of researchers at the Society for Psychical Research, the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and beyond, Dr. Dietrich-Kolokouris asks the question that science keeps deferring: what actually happens when we die?
The evidence may be more disturbing than the mystery.
