Because I have watched the video about thirty times and written to Wayne. I trust him, it’s as simple as that Tim.
That there are others that you think provide veridical content is a bonus. What good has any such content done in persuading sceptics?

Okay, Stan but the number of times you've watched it (and you trust him) has no baring on whether or not it is based on something authentic. Writing to him is good but unless he provided you with something evidential, that doesn't mean much either, sadly.

Well documented reports (in as many ways as possible) are the bed rock of good data, Stan, as I'm sure you are well aware. Many former sceptics have changed their minds, based on it.
Wayne's account might be authentic but then again it might not and I don't want to be duped. So just in case it's not (authentic) I'll pass on it. Just my thoughts Stan, you may think differently of course.
Feel free to post what you want, everyone. I just said I was mostly interested in videos that present a wide array of lines of evidence for survival.
Chris Carter wrote three books - he must have some videos somewhere, like maybe podcast interview ones, where he goes through the evidence.
This short one focuses on a book by Mark Gober that I wasn't aware of:
In Mark’s book "An End to Upside Down Thinking," he summarizes some of the voluminous scientific evidence which suggests that consciousness is not generated by nor confined to the brain. A major focus of this evidential summary is the amazing abundance of scientific studies, dating back more than half a century, into psychic phenomena, such as telepathy, ESP and precognition. A parallel field of investigation is survival of consciousness – that is the study of near-death experiences and even purported communications with the dead by so-called mediums.

I decided to use that one in conjunction with the one with the panel moderated by John Cleese. Since mediumship research isn't covered, I tossed in this recent enough talk by Julie Beischel as well.
