Rogo was open minded on the question of survival of consciousness after death, he wrote that he was "favourable to the survival notion" he was however skeptical about some of the phenomena involved in psychical research as he believed they could be psychological experiences. He is most well known for his book written with Raymond Bayless titled Phone Calls From The Dead (1979) in which they describe an alleged paranormal phenomenon in which people report that they receive simple, brief, and usually single-occurrence telephone calls from spirits of deceased relatives, friends, or strangers.
In his book The Haunted Universe (1977) Rogo hypothesized that strange phenomena such as flying saucers and Bigfoot are really psychic projections that are produced by the minds of the observers themselves.

Case studies of psychic music experiences. NAD explained as related to OOBE, which is seen as one and the same as the death experience. Rogo makes a hard push at NAD being proof of the survival of death. Clear bias and influence by Raymond Bayless must be noted. Really disappointing Robert Crookall fanboying in the Appendix, which isn't surprising as Crookall was the father of the OOBE texts at the time, which is what got Scott interested in parapsychology in the first place. Still, it comes off as the 1970's parapsychologist's version of aggressive twitter arguments
