The top cases demonstrating the continued existence of the human personality after the demise of the physical body. Only the highest ranking cases, as determined by our objective Evidence Scoring System (ESS), are included here. (Cases scoring within one or two points of each other should be considered essentially equal.) When a new case qualifies to be added, the lowest ranked case on the list is moved to the Honors List. Due to the difficulty of comparing cases based on communications with cases based on recollections, and to make the list easier to grasp, these are divided into two sections: the top 20 spirit-contact cases and the top 20 reincarnation cases.

Click on the case name to see a description of that case. Click on the score to see how that score was determined using the ESS. Click on the source for more information — if it is in a book.
