Topic: Life After Death.
60-minute edited version of 90 minute broadcast, as syndicated
in New York.
Merv Griffin discusses death with author Raymond A. Moody, the father of the "Near Death Experience" movement, transforming the world and revolutionizing the way people think about death, and what lies beyond. In 1975 he published the book "Life After Life," which details one hundred fifty people who experienced "clinical death" and were revived.
Topics discussed by Raymond Moody include:
-Research based on 150 accounts by individuals experiencing death and returning to life.
-Deaths by accidents, suicide, illness.
-How legally died individuals leave their bodies and view doctors trying to resuscitate them.
Guest Viola Horton recalls her death experience in May 1971.
Guest Dr. George Richie, the man who inspired Raymond Moody to write his own book on the subject, relates his own death experience moment in December 1943.
NOTE: Dr. George Richie's experience was the first contact Raymond Moody had with NDE's (near death experience) during his post-graduate studies and residency in psychiatry at the University of Virginia. This led Moody to investigate the phenomenon of NDE, more, and led him to write
"Life after Life" in 1975, and subsequently two more books on the subject.
Commercials include:
Friskies, TV Guide, Campbell's Soup, Lipton Tea with Don Meredith, ADC Brand Coffee from Maxwell House, Birds Eye.
