Unveiling Hidden Realities with Christopher Noël (4K Reboot)

Summary

Author and Sasquatch researcher Christopher Noël argues that there is no real veil between the living and the dead, and that spirit and ordinary matter occupy the same space. Drawing on a teenage Ouija board encounter with a ghost named John Waite, he proposes that dark matter may be the long-sought 'spirit stuff', and perhaps the substance of consciousness itself. He uses this idea to explain cold spots, apports, table levitation, and spirit voices as shifts in the ratio between visible and invisible matter.

Key takeaways

• 1At 17, Noël and a friend contacted a spirit named John Waite via Ouija board and automatic writing over three months. Waite claimed he had killed his daughter, and a town historian later confirmed the house was 'the old Waite Place'.
• 2Noël proposes that dark matter, which astrophysicist Vera Rubin's galaxy-rotation work showed is about six times more abundant than ordinary matter, is a strong candidate for spirit substance.
• 3Irving Finkel's book 'The First Ghosts' documents Babylonian cuneiform accounts of spirits, including an incantation for making spirits speak through a skull.
• 4Medium Leslie Flint reportedly produced 'direct voices' from thin air for 61 years, including a recurring spirit guide named Mickey. About 150 seance recordings are available on the Leslie Flint Trust YouTube channel.
• 5Engineer William Crawford (published 1921) weighed medium Kathleen Goligher and reported that as a table grew lighter during levitation, she grew heavier by about the same amount.
• 6In 2010 Barry Colvin analyzed recordings of spirit raps from 20 sites and found their sound pattern builds up in energy, unlike normal knocks that start loud and fade. Noël also cites Stephen Braude's investigations of table-tipping medium Ariel Farias in Argentina.

The veil is sometimes referred to as a thin boundary between this life and an afterlife, yet you suggest that there is no veil. Yeah, I think that there is often the experience of a veil, which is a subjective experience. You know, we've heard of people who, since childhood, are able to see spirits. And I had an experience in my childhood, my late teens, where I felt a spirit touching my head in the context of a long conversation that a friend and I had with the ghosts. ...
