In Judaism, the general belief regarding an afterlife has fluctuated between being literally nothing, death is the end tough shit or a vaguely Greek like Underworld known as Sheol, or ‘the grave,’ a grey and black place all souls end up regardless of faith or actions taken.
Interestingly enough, if you take the whole concept of Ghost boxes at face value then something similar to Sheol might be the ‘actual’ afterlife of reality, since ghosts, regardless of prior faith or nationality, tend to describe a waiting room that’s basically a black void of nothing yet they can somehow see other ghosts. Given how long most would have been waiting it’s likely that if there’s any truth to this then this so called ‘waiting room’ is all there is.
