The Survival Files: The Most Convincing Evidence Yet Compiled for the Survival of Your Soul, written by my guest, Miles Edward Allen,  prompted his creation of the Evidence Scoring System (ESS), the first objective process for determining which cases most convincingly demonstrate the continuing existence of the human personality beyond the demise of the physical body. Using this system he has developed a list — The Survival Top 40 — of the 20 most convincing spirit-contact cases and the 20 most persuasive reincarnation cases. Allen is also the author of The Afterlife Confirmed: Even More Convincing Evidence from the Survival Files; Defending Bridey's Honor: The Reality of Reincarnation; and Astral Intimacy: Fifty Spirits Speak About Life, Love, and Sex After Death. Allen is a member of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) and serves on the Board of Directors of the Academy for Spiritual and Consciousness Studies and as its Librarian. He received his B.S. from the Journalism School at the University of Maryland, and worked as a writer, editor, and manager for various private and federal offices over three decades. Since his retirement, he has been keeping "busier than ever" with his writing, websites, and a greeting- and note-card company called FunOccasions.com. He enjoys solving cryptic crosswords, assembling jigsaw puzzles, designing games, and dabbling in chess.  One of the amazing stories Miles shares in this episode is about reincarnation and the boy James Leininger.
