What happens after death? Hungry Souls brings to light remarkable testimonies and historical relics that reveal a lesser-known dimension of the Christian journey — the reality of the Holy Souls in purgatory. In this gripping and contemplative volume, psychologist and researcher Gerard van den Aardweg investigates verified accounts of visitations, messages, and miraculous signs pointing to the suffering, longing, and intercession of the departed.

You’ll encounter stories such as a spirit leaving a burn imprint on clothing, a disbelieving Protestant minister confronted by ghosts pleading for prayers, and relics from Rome’s famed Museo del Purgatorio (Museum of Purgatory), where objects bear unexplained marks left by supernatural visits.

Van den Aardweg combines sober research, Church tradition, and theological insight. He frames each account carefully, distinguishing authentic supernatural phenomena from possible impostors or deceits, and emphasizes the urgency of prayers, Masses, and sacrifices for those still undergoing purification.

With over 40 full-color photographs and illustrations, Hungry Souls makes the unseen real — compelling Christians to live with greater awareness of eternity, compassion for the suffering souls, and motivation to offer spiritual aid through prayer.
