ABSTRACT: The phantom leaf effect seen in Kirlian photography may help
researchers better understand near-death and out-of-body experiences. While the process responsible for the phantom leaf effect is unknown, variations of Rupert Sheldrake’s morphogenetic field theory offer three explanations for this phenomenon. Each of these variations has different implications for near death and out-of-body experiences.
The phantom leaf phenomenon of electrical or Kirlian photography
may provide an important clue to the interpretation of both near-death
and out-of-body experiences (NDEs and OBEs). In this paper, we ex
plain the phantom leaf effect, explore a possible relationship to hu
mans, and examine this effect’s importance for NDEs and OBEs. We
describe three processes potentially responsible for the phantom leaf
effect and the implications for NDEs and OBEs of each process.
