Topic: George Ritchie

The conversation shifts to the practical observation of spirit attachments and psychic vampirism in everyday life. Bush cites the work of hypnotherapist Edith Fiore and the near-death experience of George Ritchie, who reported seeing spirits vicariously experiencing physical sensations through living humans. Anecdotes from hospice workers regarding white orbs and dark shadow beings are used to suggest that the transition of death is monitored by predatory entities.

Dr. Raymond Moody reflects on his 50-year career, noting how NDEs transitioned from a novelty in the early 1970s to a recognized part of global civilization. He recounts his early academic exposure to the subject at the University of Virginia in 1962 through Plato’s Republic and the teachings of Professor Hammond. Moody also describes the profound impact of meeting Dr. George Ritchie, a psychiatry professor whose personal account of a near-death experience validated the phenomenon for him.
