I once stole flowers off a grave just to see if the ghosts would follow me home and haunt me. True story!
Shame on you!
But I wanted to see if ghosts are really real. Then I would feel better about dying.
I recommend you read "
life after life" by Dr. Raymond Moody.
then try reading "
return from tomorrow" by Dr. George Ritchie MD. [both were shrinks, btw]
They sound interesting. Imagine if we could die over and over again and learn from our mistakes and use that knowledge to try and make the world better? I think I do have an obsession with death and dying which might be a little disturbing. When my best friend passed away years ago I was devastated and it dawned on me that we really are all doomed to die one day and the worst part about it is not knowing how we are going to die or what actually happens to us after death (do we continue existing as a spirit or do we simply stop existing and rot away?) I often sit in my room all night thinking about what my actual death will be like and what exactly I would be feeling and thinking before I lost consciousness. I personally think that the best way for me to die is to have somebody else kill me like shooting me or executing me because it would be quicker than dying a slow death of disease or old age and at least I would see my fate coming. And I don't want to believe that my friend or anybody else I really care about is actually gone forever when they die.
I know my parents still exist in a higher [astral plane] real because they communicated with me in unmistakable ways- the morning of my dad's death [in a hospice unit at the Seattle VA], while mom and me were both asleep, we heard a loud knock at the same time, waking both of us up at the same time, followed by his voice called both my name [which only I could hear] and my mom's name [actually, he called her "honey"] which only she could hear, at the same time. we compared notes afterwards which is how I know this. another book I highly recommend, which I give to people who have had loved ones pass away, is "
Hello from Heaven." that is a compendium of anecdotes from people who report that their loved ones, after their deaths, communicated with them in various ways.
