W. T. Stead who drowned in the icy waters of the North Atlantic upon the sinking of the Titanic describes the tragic scene he witnessed upon his passing:

"There were hundreds of bodies floating in the water-dead-hundreds of souls carried through the air, alive; very much alive....The scene on the boat at the time of the sinking was not so pleasant, but it was as nothing compared to the scene among the poor souls newly thrust out of their bodies, all unwillingly. It was both heartbreaking and repellant. And thus we waited, waited until all were collected, until all were ready, and then we moved our scene to a different land." - The Blue Island

Shirley begins her tour of the Spirit World:

"One night after retiring to bed, I asked God to show me the world of Spirit. I had been seeing glimpses of the afterlife for as long as I could remember, but I had a deep desire for a better understanding. I felt it would help give me insight into the plight of the spirits I delivered messages for. Soon after falling asleep I began a tour of the spirit world that would forever impact my perspective on the afterlife." - Just a Thought Away: Communicating With Loved Ones in Spirit
