The Blue Island: Experiences of a New Arrival Beyond the Veil

About this book

After journalist W. T. Stead died aboard the Titanic, messages were later published claiming to describe his arrival in the next world. He speaks of surroundings, people and the bewildering first moments after death.

Recorded through Spiritualist channels, the account describes buildings, activities and forms of communication on a place called the Blue Island. Arthur Conan Doyle contributes a letter to the historical volume. There is no independent evidence that Stead sent the messages. The account remains tied to his death on the Titanic and the Spiritualist effort to make sense of that loss.
