Proof of Life After Death Part 3 Mysterious voice in Utah rescue

Allow me to begin by saying that I've heard or reported on a number of "mysterious voices" that came from nowhere to save lives in my books "Flipside" and "It's a Wonderful Afterlife."

One in particular was Harvard/Yale PhD Gary Schwartz's own experience where a "mysterious voice" told him to put on his seatbelt moments before it saved his life in a crash. I cite the example of Chris Elliot, comedian, who heard a voice say "Wake up skylark!" just prior to watching his niece tumble off the end of a table, where he caught her. I pointed out to Chris the origin of the term "skylark." In my own life, I clearly heard my father speak to me after his passing, giving me a list of people he said he was presently with - the names were of friends of his who died in WWII whom I had never heard of, but my mom confirmed were his pals.

So I'm convinced, based on my research, beyond a shadow of doubt that the afterlife exists. And beyond that, there's a between lives realm where we all return "home" and work out our next incarnation.

Be that as it may.

Some years ago I was called upon as an expert witness in a trial where the key piece of evidence was from a security camera that I was asked to examine. I blew up the footage, slowed it down, pieced it together and showed clearly what had happened in the video - which from a taped perspective was about a quarter mile away. But by zooming and slowing down, and highlighting the various parts of the tape, I was able to demonstrate what happened. I was certified as an expert witness in the case.

So I have some experience examining filmed "evidence."

So I examined closely the "mysterious voice" heard during the rescue of this baby Lily in Utah. (I've also contributed a small amount to her recovery, I encourage everyone reading this to do so, it's on the gofundme.com website - Jennifer and Lily.)

In my opinion, what the policemen heard is not what's indicated on the tape.

I learned something from Gary Schwartz, who is a scientist first and foremost. And he's repeated it a number of times to me. "It's data. Put it on the table." We can't hope that data shows us an outcome, we can only hope that data will show us to an outcome. And in this case, I think the policemen, heroes all, may have misheard what they thought they heard. My two cents.

Again - if it's research that shows there's an afterlife, it's worth examining. If it showed the opposite I'd report that as well. I think there's quite a bit of it out there if people have an open mind about it. And that's how I approached this account as well - with an open mind. Hope you do as well!

Proof of Life After Death Part 2

Being a film maker, sometimes I'm asked to use my equipment to enhance video or sound for a particular reason. A few years back, I was sent footage from a crime scene and asked to examine it with my forensic tools - which I zoomed in, slowed down and blew up so the court could hear and see more clearly what happened. I was officially deemed an "expert witness" in the case.

Here's the CNN clip:

So I've downloaded this film, and I am in the process of examining it. I'm sending it to a forensic audio unit which can examine audio on a variety of levels and settings to see if they can locate the source of this voice on the audio track.

It happens around the 1:50 mark, after the officer calls for "Meadows" - there's a sound, and he responds to it.

But you can clearly hear "something." To my trained ears it does not sound like it's coming from inside the car. I say that because I've listened to a lot of audio tracks, trying to synch lips to lost sound track or trying to match sound to lips, and it's important to "recreate" what it sounds like outside.

However, the police officer responds to the voice that he hears, as if the voice is coming from the car. The only way to triangulate this audio would be to get the audio from another policeman's uniform and examine it as well.

But did the policeman hear a voice? Yes. Can the voice be heard on this audio? Well it's not clear that it is a voice - but there is some kind of sound that can be heard the comes just prior to the policeman saying "We're coming!"

There's a show on National Geographic channel called "Brain Games" where they took an audio file and scrambled it so it was unintelligible. And they surveyed a group of people who could not understand a word from it. And then, they played the tape unadulterated, so you could hear what had originally been said. Then they played the "scrambled" tape again, and the audience, and everyone in the survey could clearly understand the sentence, even though only moments earlier it had been entirely unintelligible.

In fact, you can't "unhear" the audio after your brain has unscrambled it. It's as if the dots have been connected in your brain, and they can't be disconnected upon further review. So I'm going to examine this audio with my equipment, with the equipment from a forensic expert (I wish CNN would do the same) and report back what I can discern. And let's see if we can't verify that this voice is coming from the "Flipside."

Won't that be fun?

Proof of Life After Death

You want proof of life after death?

It doesn't get any more dramatic than this:

The point is: this is "new information" that could not have been in the minds of these three men. The voice clearly saying "HELP US."

This is not hard to understand or explain if you just take a look at the research. I recommend a number of science reports, peer reviewed studies, along with interviews with scientists in "It's a Wonderful Afterlife." If you really want to understand how it can be that life continues on, these are first person accounts of either people who've studied it, people who've experienced it, or people who are on the Flipside and are speaking to us.

It's the least we can do to listen to them.

Jennifer Groesbeck, 25, died in a car accident Friday night in Spanish Fork, Utah. Her 18-month-old daughter Lily was found 14 hours later and is listed in critical condition.

The officers who rescued a Utah toddler from death’s doorstep in a submerged car on Sunday said their adrenaline-fueled heroics were triggered by a mysterious plea.

“We could see a person in the front seat and then we heard a voice saying, ‘Help me, we’re in here.’ It was clear as day,” said Officer Tyler Beddoes of the Spanish Fork Police Department, one of four men who pulled an unconscious 18-month-old from a car — which had been submerged in near-freezing water for 14 hours — as her mother lay dead in the driver’s seat.

Beddoes and his fellow first responders braved the chilly waters long enough to turn the red Dodge sedan, which was upside down, and pull little Lily Groesbeck out of her car seat, in which she had been suspended since her mother Jennifer Groesbeck apparently lost control of the car the previous evening.

“We could see her eyes fluttering so there was some life but as far as movements or consciousness there was nothing that we could see,” Beddoes told the Daily News on Monday.

The four officers and three firefighters formed an assembly line and transported the child back to shore. The first responders started performing CPR, and Lily later regained consciousness in a Salt Lake City hospital. Her condition was upgraded to stable on Monday.

Spanish Fork police officer Tyler Beddoes, center, was one of the first people to respond to the scene. He and his fellow officers said they heard a female voice call for help as they approached the vehicle.

Jennifer Groesbeck, 25, was driving to her home in Springville, but when crossing a bridge in Spanish Fork, the single mom hit a cement barrier and drove off the roadway, police said.

The vehicle crashed into the river around 10:30 p.m., according to a witness who told police he heard the accident. The car was not visible from the roadway, and was not discovered until 14 hours later, when a fisherman spotted it at 12:24 p.m. Saturday and called police.

That’s when Beddoes and his partners arrived. The witness told them that he could see an arm through the window, and the four men plunged into the freezing rapids to see if they could find any survivors.

Then, suddenly, they started hearing the distinct sound of a woman’s voice, calling to them to help.

We heard a voice saying 'help me, we're in here.' It was clear as day. We replied back 'hang in there, we're trying what we can.'

“We replied back ‘hang in there, we’re trying what we can.’ ”

The voice motivated them to push harder because they believed there may be someone inside who was still alive. With their adrenaline pumping they pulled the heavy, water-filled car onto its side and discovered the driver was dead.

The officers had no explanation for the mysterious voice that appeared to come from inside the car. Beddoes said he said he wouldn’t believe it really happened had not the other officers heard it, as well.

“I don’t know what I thought I heard,” he said. “I’m not a typically religious guy. It’s hard to explain — it was definitely something. Where and why it came from, I’m not sure.”

The little girl was hanging upside down, but her head was not touching the water. The responders did not even see her, initially, but when they got the car turned over they spotted her and raced to get her out.

Groesbeck, the youngest of five children, was enrolled at Provo College and hoped to become a medical assistant, her sister Jill Sanderson told KSL TV in Salt Lake City.

“She was very compassionate and a very loving person and always willing to bend over backwards for her loved ones,” she told the station. “Her baby was the love of her life. She was an amazing mother.”

The family set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for her funeral expenses and Lily’s medical treatment.

Her baby was the love of her life. She was an amazing mother.

The child was being treated at Primary Children’s Hospital, where a her condition was “stable and improving,” a spokeswoman said Monday.

“She is doing remarkably well considering the circumstance. The doctors have been hopeful so far,” Sanderson told reporters. “We would like to express our appreciation to the Spanish Fork rescue team for saving the baby’s life.”

Beddoes, who spent at least 20 minutes in the frigid waters, said he and his colleagues were so focused on the rescue they didn’t realize the impact it was having on their bodies. The 6-foot-tall officer said the water level was often at his neck, sometimes higher.

“I didn’t feel the cold — I wasn’t paying attention to myself,” he said. “After several minutes in the water I started to feel the effects.”
