reincarnation!
According to Hinduism life and death is cycle. There is life after death & death after life. This theory in Hinduism is called Reincarnation (punarjanma).
Hinduism, just like the other eastern religions, believes in the Law of Karma. The Law of Karma states - as you sow, so shall you reap. So Hinduism believes that when we die, our Karmas are not settled. The Karmas don't belong to the body but to the one who was alive which we think is the Mind and Ego, the ME. So Hinduism believes that while the body dies, the ME is reborn in a new body based on Karma and that is what is our afterlife. Hinduism, just like Buddhism, believes that this cycle of death and rebirth continues and we go on experiencing afterlife based on our Karma. What is the way out of this? It is called Nirvana or Moksha, it is Liberation or Salvation. This is attained when we realize the Truth that we are not the body, we are not even the mind and ego that we appear to be, we are the Divine Spirit, we are the Soul. If we realize this then we are liberated and united with God.

afterlife
People are afraid of death. And of the afterlife. The horror genre attempts to capitalize on that fear.
Egyptians viewed the afterlife as a test, that if you passed you would continue into paradise. Summerians viewed death/afterlife as a dark deep cave.
Unfortunately it is somewhat divided.On one side the camp: You have the mainstream religions whose flock believes in an 'afterlife' after death; even though some of their scholars recognize that the Bible doesn't teach such. This brings us to . . .The other side of the camp. Some scholars agree with Jehovah's Witnesses as Christians who do NOT believe in an 'afterlife'. Instead they believe in a resurection 'on the last day'. In the meantime, they believe that when you die, your are actually dead.
They go to afterlife. Life after death.
