“Skip Atwater was the gentleman who established the Stargate unit of the army intelligence that used psychics (Remote Viewers) during the Cold War to spy on the Russians in Eastern Bloc countries. And you know that I think some congressmen found out about it and I thought, you know, they almost went crazy, but apparently it actually worked.”
Stephen Hawley Martin (Steve) is a best-selling author and writer of many books, including ones that examine the evidence of life after death, a fascination of his. Among his books are "Life After Death, Powerful Evidence You Will Never Die," "Life After Death, Powerful Evidence You Will Never Die," "ESP: How I Developed My Sixth Sense and So Can You," among others on this type of inexplicable phenomena. While Steve had owned an advertising agency and has written best-selling books, both fiction and non-fiction, on many other topics such as novels and business management books, afterlife evidence has always been a main topic of curiosity for him. Raised in a science-minded materialist family, he was astounded when had an OBE (Out of Body Experience,) possibly an NDE (Near Death Experience) one night when he was twenty-five. This experience, along with some books he discovered around this time opened up a whole new world to him. He also hosted a podcast in the early days of podcasting, where he talked with people such as Dr. Jim Tucker and Dr Julie Beischel. His books discuss the same people - serious science-minded afterlife researchers from places such as DOPS - Division of Perceptual Studies at University of Virginia.
