Afterlife

[Nadis]

What makes one dead person a ghost and another a spirit guide?

[Nadis]

Maybe one day RATTER15 something will happen and those departed will speak to you.

Thank you naomi24 for your answers.
I like the pretty window Avatar.

Ratter, I'm convinced because I honestly have no choice, but if I were you I'd be reluctant to wish for the same experiences. I'd far rather they hadn't happened to me.

Nadis, //I'm sure there must be atheists or people who don't believe in god ...... that have had experiences they were unable to fathom out//

Yes, me for one, but I don't think God comes into the equation. Additionally I don't believe it's wise to seek out mediums. Most of them are clever charlatans who make a very good living from preying on the unhappy and vulnerable.

Thank you for your kind words - and you're most welcome.

Well Naomi, The people that I have spoken to about their visitations by ghosts/spirits claim very positive experiences, I would love my departed family members to come and visit, they were such gentle loving people that I would have no worries or issues with them. I really would love to believe in all this, I know my Brother would do all he could to visit me as he would want to explain why!!

RATTER15. I found it better to go on peoples personal experiences of mediums rather than just find one in the yellow pages or local paper.
If people you trust have been to see one then that could be helpful to you.
As naomi24 said, "there are fakes out there," but there are some with a gift.

Ratter, the real problems arise when you strongly suspect that the visitors AREN'T family members. Oo-er! ;o)

[RATTER15]

Not family members!!!! OK I'm to get some garlic and one of those cross thingies with the little man on it :)

[Nadis]

Only if they look like their the type to bite your neck:0)

[naomi24]

Ratter, 'one of those cross thingies with a little man on it'. Love it!! :o)

Nadis, Fortunately I've never encountered a neck biter - well at least not a dead one!! ;o)

[Nadis]

Well there's always a first time Naomi24 or hopefully Not!!!

I don't believe for a moment that anything like that exists, but that doesn't stop vampire films scaring the wits out of me! :o/
