GLASTONBURY. English businessman and psychical researcher Ross Hemsworth says he is so confident that he will soon prove life after death that he has placed a bet with bookmaker William Hill that could net him £1 million.

But he has only until the end of this year to produce the evidence.

Meanwhile, cynics and sceptics are suggesting that the bet is just a cheap way of getting publicity for 49-year-old Hemsworth’s new book, The Dead ARE Talking. He has had to hand over just £100 to the bookmakers who have given him odds of 10,000 to one on an after-life being proved.

Hemsworth is co-owner of Glastonbury Radio, which launched earlier this year, and one of its presenters, as well as being lecturing on the paranormal. Glastonbury, in England’s West Country, has inspired many myths and legends involving King Arthur, Joseph of Arimathea and the Holy Grail.

A good base, perhaps, for someone interested in the paranormal, but where does he expect to get his evidence for life after death from?

Right now, he’s not saying, apart from telling one newspaper that “a team of scientists and doctors are working around the clock to prove existence of the afterlife”. He added: “With the evidence we have got we are not a million miles away from proving it. The whole point of the project is to prove that there is something there.”

 He added that voice communication, video and photography would be among the evidence he would produce.

There are doctors and scientists exploring different aspects of consciousness and its possible survival after death, but www.ParanormalReview.com knows of none who is expecting to produce proof within the time limitations of Hemsworth’s bet.

He claims to have been a sceptic who has been convinced by the paranormal evidence he has encountered. Hemsworth is also co-founder of The Phantom or Fraud Project which was described on the US radio show Coast To Coast as having grown “to be one of the world’s leading paranormal investigation groups” when he was interviewed four years ago about “his recent investigations into parallel dimensions, ghosts and portals, as well as an alleged portal in New Jersey where they were able to photograph an entity.”

This is almost certainly a reference to a visit paid to Brian Williams (whose “space name” is Sargel18) in New Jersey. Williams (right) claims to be of alien parentage and to be in contact with UFO occupants who give him predictions about major events that are about to happen. All this – and photographic evidence – is said to occur through a vortex between this dimension and another.

The Phantom or Fraud Project – which was apparently associated with a UK TV programme, Ghost Detectives – appears to have diminished as rapidly as it is claimed to have grown: its website is now just a vehicle for advertising.

Perhaps Hemsworth book will tell a different story. As well as his paranormal research, incidentally, it will also cover an affair, a divorce, going bankrupt and contemplating suicide.

Somehow, we don’t think William Hill will be paying out £1 million to Hemsworth in the near future.
