We Emit a Visible Light That Vanishes When We Die, Says Surprising New Study

Do humans really have an aura and emit light? New study might shock you

Is there really such thing as an aura — a light that humans give off while they are alive?

Living Things ‘Glow’ With an Invisible Light, Calgary Researchers Find

Humans may be luminous beings—literally—according to researchers at the University of Calgary who authored a new study. Examining mice and plants, the researchers in a cross-disciplinary study found tiny amounts of light are being emitted from living specimens as part of their metabolism. The study suggests all lifeforms, including human beings, have a similar “glow” that seems to diminish upon death. Daniel Oblak, an associate professor at the …

Humans 'emit mysterious light that disappears when we die,' say scientists

HUMANS do actually glow with health, according to scientists, as a new study suggests our bodies emit an extremely faint light that goes out when we die. It’s not just humans either – but seemingly all life. J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 2025Contrast in biophoton emissions in four mice, when alive (top) and dead (bottom)[/caption] J. Phys. Chem.

Humans give off a ghostly glow that vanishes when we die

The light is too dim for humans to see (Picture: Getty) All living things – from humans to mice and plants – emit a ghostly glow up until they die. Mystics and holistic medicine practitioners have long claimed to see a mysterious aura around people. But for what might be the first time, scientists say they have seen this glow, too. This glow, a new study found, is too faint to be seen and goes off once creatures die. Researchers say that the fai…

Scientists have found that living organisms – at least mice and plants – glow. Death disappears again. Is this the power of life, or maybe just a biochemical reaction? That's what it's all about. We glow! At least a bit. And when we die, this glow goes out. That's the amazing discovery of a research team from Canada. Researchers at Calgary University have placed mice in a stock-dark chamber and observed with super-sensitive cameras. The mice act…

Humans give off visible light that vanishes when we die, new study shows

It turns out the idea that humans glow might not just be poetic. A new study from the University of Calgary and the National Research Council of Canada has captured physical evidence showing that living organisms, including mice and plants, emit a faint visible light that vanishes upon death. This barely-there glow, known as ultraweak photon emission (UPE), is produced by chemical reactions inside cells. While these biophotons are far too dim fo…
