“The After Life Investigations”, directed by Tim Coleman and
featuring Donal MacIntyre, is a somewhat crude documentary (2010) from the UK
describing experiments at “The Scole” and other places (like in Los Angeles) to
contact the dead through séances, particularly trying to capture audio and
photographic evidence.
In some cases, the entities present visages resembling what
they looked like alive. The film claims
that Polaroid film left unopened in a particular field in a séance will form
the images.
Toward the end of the film, there is a sequence where an
entities enters a quartz piece, which dematerializes and then returns.
The film really doesn’t offer much in the way of speculation
on what the afterlife is like.
The documentary mentions the 2005 film "White Noise" (Universal), by Geoffrey Sax, with Michael Keaton playing an architect trying to contact his wife from the hereafter or "afterlife". She holds "the dead hand".

The video (with reduced aspect ratio and rather average
technical quality) can be viewed on Netflix Instant play.
The “short film” for today was pretty interesting. That is “Lost Angel” (2013, 17 min), directed
by Derek Efrain Villanueva. Timo Descamps (“Shane Lyons” in “Judas Kiss”, reviewed
here June 4, 2011) plays Michael, a tourist arrives at LAX from Amsterdam. He loses his wallet and drops his cell phone.
But Carlitos (Villaneuva) takes him to the motel where he lives to put him up,
and tells Mikhael he makes a living as a hustler. A “customer” shows up and Michael has to
hide. When the customer drives to rob
Carlitos, Michael intervenes, chasing the customer and probably saving
Carlitos. A good person finds Michael’s
wallet, and life resumes.
The film comes from “Riot Scene Media”.
