Soon after his passing, a series of mysterious events occurred. Clocks stopped on\u00a0his time of death, Durham heard her husband\u2019s voice, and finally, a powdery hand print appeared on their bathroom mirror on the anniversary of Max\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>Durham was curious, but skeptical. Having spent her career in the heavily scrutinized newspaper industry, she approached these seeming attempts at supernatural communication with caution. To investigate the events that had occurred in her life, Durham began research into the afterlife.<\/p>\n<p>Durham\u2019s research visited upon several scientific fields and interests, ranging from consciousness studies to quantum physics. Her book attempts not only to share her story, but also to use her research to open up a larger conversation into the difficult subject of life after death.<\/p>\n<p>Listen in to our interview with Janis Heaphy Durham to hear all about her adventure in detail.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_1566\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-923-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/crafttheshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Craft_2015-4-22_Heaphy.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/crafttheshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Craft_2015-4-22_Heaphy.mp3\">http:\/\/crafttheshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Craft_2015-4-22_Heaphy.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/crafttheshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Craft_2015-4-22_Heaphy.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.crafttheshow.com\/?powerpress_pinw=923-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/crafttheshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Craft_2015-4-22_Heaphy.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Craft_2015-4-22_Heaphy.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-Tyler Clementi Do you believe in ghosts?
