You're listening to the Paranormal UK Radio
Network, the best in paranormal talk radio

2
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:13,480
in the UK and around the world. Welcome to the most fascinating interview of

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,480
after death communication I've run across in
my twenty five years of research into near

4
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:23,239
death and shared death experiences. Oh
and by the way, welcome to the

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,800
Afterlife Files, where we investigate near
death experiences, shared death experiences and how

6
00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:33,960
they affect you. Unlike podcasts that
are just stories, we will give you

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,880
a heads up and what's to look
for in our conversation, and then after

8
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,479
the interviews stick around. We'll help
you make sense of those accounts so you

9
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,240
can incorporate the insights into your life. I think you'll find that once having

10
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:53,000
your most profound questions answered, living
life in the physical is filled with more

11
00:00:53,079 --> 00:01:11,159
peace and joy. You'll see that
coming up. Twenty three years ago,

12
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:15,840
when I first started working for South
Central College in newam, Minnesota, I

13
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,000
shared an office with Rich Bauman.
I was a small business management instructor and

14
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:26,920
Rich was a farm business management instructor
specializing in dairy farms. We became friends

15
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,319
as well as colleagues, and and
I shared dinner in each other's homes,

16
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:36,799
and we attended concerts together, so
we got to know them pretty well.

17
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,799
This summer, Rich was visiting us
in Virginia, and while having a glass

18
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:46,920
of wine on the porch, Rich
hold us an amazing story of how he

19
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,159
met barbed and communicated with his wife
in the hallway of their home six weeks

20
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,719
after she had made her transition.
I've never heard anything like it, so

21
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,200
I knew that you'd want to hear
this story. Two things you should know.

22
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:06,000
First, Rich is a man of
few words, has a huge heart,

23
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:08,919
and we'll do anything for you.
He's an assault of the earth kind

24
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,400
of guy. Second, he is
a man of integrity. What you hear

25
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,120
in his voice is exactly who he
is. So when he tells you his

26
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:23,039
story, listen to both the words
he's speaking and the sincerity in his voice.

27
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:28,960
That will tell you all you need
to know about his credibility. Here's

28
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:36,599
our interview with Rich Bauman and his
extraordinary ADC after death communication with his wife,

29
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:47,919
Barbara. Hey, Rich, really
glad to have you here on the

30
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,639
Afterlife Files. No, Scott,
you are in southern Minnesota, am I

31
00:02:55,759 --> 00:03:02,439
correct? Right outside a new All, Minnesota. All right? And I've

32
00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:09,240
told people about who you are,
and and the fact that we shared an

33
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:17,159
office together, and which it Please
tell us a little bit about Barbe and

34
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:25,240
your relationship. Well, Barbara and
I were married for just over fifty three

35
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:31,759
years. We met when we were
nineteen, we got married when we were

36
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:40,120
twenty, and we had a very
good life together for those fifty three years.

37
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:51,560
And you know it, it was
a good life and an interesting life.

38
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:59,879
I guess she was something special.
Yeah. What made her special?

39
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:09,759
Oh? Just um, she was
such a caring person and excited about our

40
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,479
whole life together, I guess.
I mean, you know, we we

41
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:18,079
both just had a tremendous life together. So what the two of you like

42
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:27,199
to do? Oh, we did
a lot of traveling, and we liked

43
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:38,639
that we have a place in the
country, and we both liked the gardening

44
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:47,120
and lawn care and and uh things
of that. Family. Uh kids and

45
00:04:47,360 --> 00:05:00,319
grandkids and hum a couple great grandkids
and um, just life in jail general.

46
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:09,279
I guess you've described her to me
as your your partner, your best

47
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:14,079
friend. Is that's still true?
Oh? Yeah, yeah, very much.

48
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:20,199
I mean, you know, she
was involved in my work whatever I

49
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,639
was doing my full life, so
I mean, you know, she was

50
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:39,439
a partner that way two and uh, you know, we did almost everything

51
00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:46,720
together our whole lives. So tell
us about the morning of her transition.

52
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:54,519
It was November sixth of twenty twenty
one, just about a year ago right

53
00:05:54,519 --> 00:06:06,160
now. And Barbara was never seriously
sick a day in her life, never

54
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:17,639
had any problems. She would get
up a couple of times at night usually,

55
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,720
and if I woke up when she
was coming back to bed, we

56
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,399
would give each other a kiss always. And I know that it was about

57
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,560
five o'clock that morning she was coming
back to bed, and I did happen

58
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:41,680
to wake up, and so we
did give each other a kiss. When

59
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,360
I got up just after seven,
I thought she was sleeping, which was

60
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:51,079
unusual because she usually got up just
a little bit before me, but once

61
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:58,720
in a while not. And so
I went out to the kitchen for a

62
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:04,439
little bit and came back and shook
her, tried to wake her up,

63
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:14,120
but she was dead. She was
gone, just like that, just I

64
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,040
thought she was sleeping. Yeah,
died in her sleep. What if you

65
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:23,399
get to choose, what a lovely
way to go, the way we'd all

66
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,240
like to go. Well, yeah, it seemed way too soon, especially

67
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,560
since she had it, never had
any health problems, and in fact,

68
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,759
I mean, you know, she
went four or five days a week,

69
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:48,759
went to fitness classes in town and
stuff. Was doing everything right to to

70
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:54,040
live a lot longer life than she
did. So where did that leave you?

71
00:07:54,279 --> 00:08:01,879
Rich Well, for quite a while, it really left me in a

72
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:11,600
bad kind of position, you know, I mean, my whole life.

73
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:18,519
Basically we had lived together, and
all of a sudden I was all alone

74
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:30,600
and a lot of things just weren't
right at all, and I wasn't sleeping

75
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:37,039
nights and a lot of things like
that. Just I mean, you know,

76
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:45,000
life was just totally confused. I
get that. To say that you

77
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,039
missed her terribly is probably an understatement. Yeah, I think that's right.

78
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:56,000
Yeah, and I still do.
But you know, I mean I'm adjusting,

79
00:08:56,159 --> 00:09:03,240
I guess. Yeah, So you
were having a tough time. I

80
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:09,279
was. Yeah, for quite a
while, I was having a pretty tough

81
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:18,639
time really about I don't remember just
when, but about six weeks to two

82
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:30,919
months after she had died, I
had this really unusual experience that really made

83
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:37,639
a difference in my adjustment. I
got up out of bed and walked into

84
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:43,039
the hallway of our house, and
at the other end of the hallway was

85
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:50,720
Barbara walking toward me, and I
said to her, I said, boy,

86
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,960
am I glad to see you.
I said, I've had this awful

87
00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:00,759
dream that you died. And she
said, no, she said I did

88
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:07,720
die, But she said I could
see and they could see that you were

89
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:16,279
having a difficult time, and they
sent me back here to tell you that

90
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,679
I'm okay and you're going to be
okay too. And we gave each other

91
00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:31,320
a hug, and she disappeared just
like that right away. I mean I

92
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:41,639
started sleeping better. I felt that, you know, as she had said

93
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,519
that she was okay and I was
going to be okay. You know,

94
00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:54,360
it was just something that I needed
to adjust to, and that experience really

95
00:10:54,399 --> 00:11:01,480
did help me make that adjustment.
So this happen happened in the middle of

96
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:07,799
the night, right, and so
you physically got up out of bed.

97
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:15,320
This wasn't a dream of you walking
down the hallway. I don't believe it

98
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:22,440
was a dream. I believe it
was real. When you saw her at

99
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,720
the at the end of the hallway, she was like half far away,

100
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:33,240
probably, you know, fifteen feet
more or less, more or less.

101
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:39,200
And do you remember what she was
dressed in. Well, I remember that

102
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:48,919
she had on a red sweater,
and she had a few red sweaters that

103
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:56,919
she really liked to wear her,
And that's what she had on when I

104
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:07,600
saw her, and the two of
you came together, I mean you walked

105
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:15,480
towards each other, right, And
and so did she look real? Did

106
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,879
she look like a ghost? But
you know, she looked like Barbara always

107
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:28,720
looked like, I mean, just
gorgeous, right right, yeah, I

108
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:37,120
mean you know, I was just
so happy to see her. And but

109
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:48,120
yeah, I mean just everything seemed
normal again. And oh that's interesting.

110
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:54,960
It seemed normal again. Yeah.
And she gave you a hug. Yeah,

111
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:00,639
And so it felt like a real
person giving you a hug, yes,

112
00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:05,720
yes, And I mean I hugged
her back, so you could you

113
00:13:05,759 --> 00:13:11,639
could feel her in your arms,
right, yes, I'm just curious.

114
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:16,879
Did you give her a smooch?
Didn't have a chance. She disappeared so

115
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,679
quickly. I mean it was just
a quick hug and she was gone.

116
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:26,840
So like you're embracing her, and
she like disappears right out of your arms,

117
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,200
right, yeah, just all of
a sudden, was gone. Yes.

118
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:39,960
Wow. So she said that they
saw you were having trouble and that

119
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:48,120
they wanted to have her come back
and reassure you worried to that effect.

120
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:54,240
Yeah, who is they? Do
you have a sense of that? Well,

121
00:13:54,879 --> 00:14:07,600
I mean she didn't say specifically.
I assume that it was God or

122
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:13,519
angels or somebody like that. I
mean, you know, we're somebody in

123
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:20,240
authority, right, you know.
I mean I would say we were fairly

124
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:31,759
religious, but not super religious.
But I mean, as of that time,

125
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:39,559
I have no doubts in my mind
that there is an afterlife after this

126
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:46,879
life, and that it's something better
than than what we know here. So

127
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:56,759
your conversation was relatively brief. Was
there was there anything any more interaction than

128
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:01,960
what you described? No, that
was the full extent of it. Um.

129
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,159
Yeah, I mean, you know, it was very short, but

130
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,679
like I said, I mean it
it really helped me to feel better and

131
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:24,720
tom start to get my life back
on track. I think. So what

132
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:31,240
was it about that exchange that I
got you at some place of peace?

133
00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:43,480
Well, I think just hearing from
her that everything was okay for her and

134
00:15:43,639 --> 00:15:52,759
everything would be okay for me,
you know, that was the main part

135
00:15:52,799 --> 00:16:03,639
of it. That kind of reassurance
must have come across in her voice and

136
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:10,080
with her expression, right, yeah, I mean you know she was very

137
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:15,320
confident in what she was saying.
And oh, now that's like Barbara as

138
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:22,360
she was always was right, and
you know, it just meant so much

139
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:29,679
to me. It did change a
number of things in my life at that

140
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:34,919
time. You were blessed with the
time together, and you were blessed by

141
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:44,279
having Barbara in your life. She
was an extraordinary woman. And this is

142
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:48,559
what a terrific story. Thank you, Rich. I really appreciate you sharing

143
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,519
that with us today. Well,
I, like I said, I think

144
00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:02,279
I like to share that story with
other people. I I think it's important

145
00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:11,119
that as many people as possible know
about it. Thank you, Thank you,

146
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:25,200
Scott. My jaw is still on
the floor. Just to be clear,

147
00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:27,759
what you're about to hear are my
viewpoints. But that's why you watch

148
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:33,720
the Afterlife files to gain perspective by
using more than one lens with which to

149
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:37,599
view this rich information. That was
a little pun I hope you appreciate that.

150
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:45,000
Here's the important points that I gleaned
from this interview. First, Rich

151
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,759
was awake and walking in his physical
body down the hall. Second, he

152
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:55,640
heard Barb with his physical ears.
Third, was the quality of her presence.

153
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:02,240
Barbe was walking down the hall.
Now that's about to floating or gliding

154
00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:07,119
that you sometimes hear about. She
looked normal and was wearing her favorite sweater.

155
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:15,119
I'm hoping that it was to impress
Rich. Barbe was physical and could

156
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:22,599
receive and give a hug. Fourth, they were watching over him, sawing

157
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:27,160
he was having trouble and intervened in
his life to give him peace. This

158
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:33,759
reference is a reaffirmation that they are
with us, always lending guidance and support

159
00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:41,119
when needed. We are never alone. Fifth is Rich's reaffirmation that there is

160
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,160
and I quote no doubt in my
mind, there's an afterlife after this life,

161
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,119
something better than what we know here. I do hope that videos such

162
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,519
as this can give you some insight
and what near death and share death experiencers

163
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,200
discover about the afterlife, the nature
of consciousness, and how to live your

00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:06,240
life more fully. If you've not

166
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,319
one that you can see here,
get and receive a hug is a wonderful

167
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:21,680
