Published: March 20, 2024, 1:24 p.m.

Stephen Berkley is a Writer/Director/Producer and Filmmaker whose PBS feature film, titled LIFE WITH GHOSTS, is a Best Documentary Film Festival winner. The documentary, which was inspired when Stephen\u2019s father transitioned and his mother began reporting interactions with his father\u2019s ghost, is the culmination of a seven-year investigation into the nature of love, loss, and ghosts. Be sure to tune in to hear Irene and Stephen discuss this enlightening documentary, which features three survivor\u2019s quests for answers to questions such as \u201cAre ghosts a real phenomenon or are they merely symptomatic of profound grief?\u201d, Induced After-Death Communication, also known as IADC, which is a welcome alternative to traditional talk therapy and prescription drug use for the chronically bereaved, and more!

  • How automatic writing helped Stephen\u2019s mother connect with his dad.
  • The testing of Induced-After-Death Communication (IADC) at the University of North Texas, and the jaw-dropping results.
  • How IADC helps people suffering from prolonged grief disorder. 
  • Stephen\u2019s three reasons for putting \u201cghosts\u201d in his documentary title.


SOME QUESTIONS IRENE ASKS STEPHEN:
