This is a subject I find quite interesting.
I think there have been too many instances of ghosts, afterlife or whatever for it to be discounted as not possible or none existent.
I don’t believe I have seen a ghost myself, but years ago I did try the Ouija Board and the glass was most definitely moving around without any of the participants influence. :)
Over here on TV we have Long Island Medium, where the woman connects with ‘spirits’, sometimes as one on one with somebody, or just randomly out in the public domain. Either the production research prior is so detailed and extensive (and secretive), or there is something to this.
Many years ago back in the early sixties, my aunt was driving along a country road, heading home from a night out, when an old woman walked out in front of her and there was impact. She went back to where the woman would be, but there was no body there. No woman and no damage to the car.........and no, she wasn’t pissed. There is a caravan park close by and a number of people over the years inquired as to who the old lady was in the distant field collecting what looked like wood. In reality there was no old lady, certainly no local resident that would fit that description.
More recently my daughter in law visited a medium. She didn’t give her any prior information apart from her name. This medium told her that her father had recently deceased and that he was now getting along well with her grandfather. She told her that he regrets many things in his life, especially his drinking (he had been an alcoholic for many years). She mentioned the nickname her father called her, he mentioned her 2 year old daughter and how he felt about her. The ‘discussion’ went onto the martial details between her mother and father and how he wished things had been different and he hadn’t had the drinking issue.
This medium named two of his best friends and the nickname of one.........all told to her by the father. She went on to tell her that her sister is a troubled soul and that her father says her sisters husband is not good enough for her and a bad influence. They are both drug addicts/dealers and have recently had their children removed from the home and are being cared for by my daughter in laws mother.
There was much more, but the main point is, these were very personal and private details, so how did she know this? How was this ‘spirit’, who was her father in the room with them, yet she couldn’t see or sense him? The information was so accurate and personal that Googling wouldn’t have given anybody the answers?
Why can’t there be an energy that continues to exist outside of our physical body after death?
