Scientists have confirmed what mystics and holistic medicine practitioners have long claimed – all living things emit a ghostly glow before they die. The phenomenon, called ultraweak photon emission (UPE), is too faint to be seen but can be detected using high-sensitivity cameras.
Researchers at the University of Calgary found evidence of UPE in two species of mice and plants, including thale cress flowers and umbrella trees. When the mice were placed in dark chambers and imaged, they emitted photons from their bodies, which stopped once the mice were euthanised.
In contrast, injured plant leaves shone brighter than healthy ones, with some even radiating light when given a local anaesthetic. The study suggests that stress may be a factor in photon production.
While UPE is not the same as a soul or spirit, it’s undeniable proof of this phenomenon. According to Dr Daniel Oblak, lead author of the study, “The fact that ultraweak photon emission is a real thing is undeniable at this point.”
This discovery sheds light on what happens inside living organisms when they die, and may have implications for our understanding of life and death.
