"Any man who does not accept the existence of discarnate spirits and the proof of it is either ignorant or a moral coward. I give him short shrift, and do not propose any longer to argue with him on the supposition that he knows anything about the subject."
— Prof. James Hyslop, 1918

Survival Top 40
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.
These are cases [in date order] that once were on the Top 20 lists but were displaced by cases with higher scores. Click on the case name to go to a summary in .pdf format. Clicking on the source will lead you to information on obtaining the source, if it is a book.
