Abstract: In after-death communication (ADC), a living person perceives the presence off a physically deceased person or animal. To date, estimates of ADC-related phenomena have been based on single studies or clinical observation. For this study we conducted a systematic review of all quantitative descriptive studies of ADC we could find published through 2010. We found 35 studies, analyzed their methodological quality to rank them from best to worst, and used the methodologically strongest studies to arrive at best-estimates of ADC phenomena. For example, results indicated that, regarding prevalence, 30-35%of people report at least one ADC sometime in their lives and, regarding incidence, 70-80% of bereaved people report one or more ADC experiences within months of a loved one's physical death. We compiled these and other best-estimate results into a one-page fact sheet that healthcare providers, educators, and others can use to educate people who seek empirically-based information about ADC.
