Abstract
spirits of the deceased, conducted through the intermediation of mediums. These sessions encompass a wide range of extraordinary occurrences, such as the disclosure of hidden information, spirit manifestation, the movement of objects, and the display of particular skills by mediums without any prior background, among others. The séance has given rise to extensive debates in philosophical, psychological, and empirical domains, and has attracted the attention of researchers from the nineteenth century to the present. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the veracity of this phenomenon and analyzing its implication for the immateriality of the soul and human survival after death. Employing a library-based method and critical analysis, the following text evaluates the empirical evidence as well as the critiques of opponents. The findings of the research indicate that the "séance" can be regarded, at the very least, as an empirical corroboration and supporting evidence for the immateriality of the soul and human survival after death, alongside theoretical and philosophical forms of knowledge. This phenomenon also challenges materialist views of existence and is capable of opening new horizons in studies related to the soul and human survival.
