After her father died, Liz Entin assumed the afterlife was fantasy - as realistic as the tooth fairy. Then she found university research that changed everything.
Liz Entin is a logical skeptic who set out to disprove the afterlife and ended up proving it exists. She's conducted 80+ medium readings (with hidden identity and fake names), studied children with verifiable past life memories, and discovered research so compelling that even Carl Sagan said it was "worthy of serious investigation."
She's also the woman who testified in the Harvey Weinstein trial - and whose Chihuahua famously chased him around her apartment.

The evidence that convinced her:
- Children with Past Life Memories:
- University of Virginia researchers Dr. Jim Tucker and Dr. Ian Stevenson have documented thousands of cases
- Kids under 5 remember specific details: names, locations, how they died
- James Leininger: Remembered dying in WWII plane crash, knew aircraft details only experts would know, identified three men from his squadron by hair color
- Civil War case: Child knew soldier's name, wife's name, specific battle where he died
- Carl Sagan endorsed this research as valid and worthy of serious study
Her conclusion: "There's a preponderance of evidence - probably beyond a reasonable doubt at this point."
Liz testified in the Harvey Weinstein trial. Her 12-pound Chihuahua, Peanut, chased Harvey around her apartment and he was terrified. The story went viral worldwide. She says without doubt he is guilty.
On grief and hope:
"I'm much more scared of permanent obliteration than any other form of consciousness. Finding this evidence brought joy combined with the worst I've ever felt."
