At some point in our lives, every one of us has wondered what the afterlife is like, assuming there is one. When we inevitably kick that bucket, are we greeted by a heavenly city, a black void of nothingness, or is it just like a dream, only this dream lasts forever?

Then there’s limbo to consider. Is there a chance we’ll get trapped somewhere in the middle when we die, forced to walk the earth as ghosts, haunting our friends and scaring the family pets until our paranormal chicanery inspires more horror films like Paranormal Activity? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not be responsible for that.

There’s no way of knowing, but I suggest you watch this fascinating short by filmmaker Will Mayo just in case you’re one of the unlucky few who has to check that last box. I think you’ll find the tips it offers useful in maximizing the efficacy of your haunting prowess.
