depends if yur open to that type of thing me I believe had a visitaion in my room 2 weeks ago brought me peace

Doris Stokes hasn't sent any messages yet!

I had a visitation too..but it turns out that it was the herby cheese I ate just before i went to bed .......lol..only joking...

well...only a bit...the herby cheese DID give me terrible wind.... :0)

sorry Baz...for lowering the tone...x

Personally,I have an open mind, veering on scepticism, BUT, though being a follower of no religion - SOMETHING's got to happen to all that energy(electrical etc) in our bodies, when we die. This is the nearest I could believe in a 'soul'. A glob of energy.

Having said that, my mum reckons she swa the ghost of my grandad, when she was heavily pregnant with me, and in the bath. She told him to go away as he was embarrassing her!!
My grandfather died 6 weeks before I was born.

Even stranger, my BiL, was living in South Africa. He got to work one day, to be told by his secretary that a man had asked to see him. He gave no name, but said 'Bob' would know him. BiL was only called 'Bob' by his father.
Secretary gave a description of the man. BiL showed him a picture of his dad - yes that was him!
He'd died in England 3 years previously.

I'm always amazed that the majority of ghosts are portrayed as being/wearing outfits from the far & distant past.
If they really exist, there should, purely by statistics,be more 'modern' ones - how many people walking along the pavement each day are really ghosts?

Explain that away, you non-believers! There was a thread on this topic some months ago.

Doris always said to her family and friends that she would send them a message,but she never did.

This topic has and always will be discussed wherever folk are naturally curious.
If you believe fine,if you don't also fine,I'm a doubting Thomas until something happens to make me change my mind.

And how does anyone know or prove that we are not all in the after life right at this moment.......or a ghost even?.........Answer me that.

Well I have just read all the posts and all I can say is that at 65 I most certainly do believe in seeing people who are no longer alive, I have been doing this since a very early age when I could not possible have known that it was considered strange etc.

I could give many examples, such as seeing and talking to a lady who used to live in a house I had nought. Now I saw her in Epping Forest which our cul de sac baked onto. I was taking my baby got a walk at the time. I sat down for a rest and this person came and sat next to me, we chatted. When I got home my next door neighbour asked me in for a coffee and as we talked I told her about this lady giving her name and saying how much the lady misses the house and her friends. The neighbour was very quiet and then said, "but mrs xxxxxx died three years ago". I am not sure who was more shocked, her or me.

Could give many other incidences. Strange but true

I remain open minded....and having read the previous thread without making a comment...I wasn't swayed x

Muggy, I am sure that I would feel the same, if it hadn't happened to me.being openminded is to me the most sensible approach, after allot one time everyone thought that the world was flat, others have claimed that the world was about to die, etc etc.

Susan your thought that we might be in the after life is very similar to some eastern thoughts. All I know is I am here now!

Who's Muggy? lol

That's fair enough for you Spanish Eyes...but I have to work on cold hard fact...and someone elses experiences just don't tick the boxes for me.

I'd love to believe..I really would..I'm a reluctant sceptic...**edited once or twice cos my brain still isn't working properly due to the football..don't ask...grrrrrrr*

i watched a bit of This Morning today. did anyone see?
Tom Conti, saying how when he was staying in a hotel
( where Alfred Lord Tennyson had lived I think) he heard footsteps by his bed, but no one there each time? He seems a down to earth person but obviously encountered something out of the 'ordinary'.

Well in my lifetime I have experienced things for which there is no rational explanation. Those of the Anglican faith will know that in The Creed, we repeat 'I believe in the Holy Ghost'.

One thing I do know is that I always swore if I got to the Gates of Heaven and my mother was there, I would go straight back down! Reckon that is what happened 18 months ago.

Sort of with Muffy on this. I've never, ever experienced anything 'out of the ordinary' but know people who have. I have no reason to disbelieve them, but my reason demands that *I* need to experience something in order to 'believe'. It really doesn't bother me that much - I have no desire for an afterlife and no wish to 'contact' anyone. What I would like to know, in all the so-called 'messages' people have received over the millenia, why has nobody 'told us' what it's like on t'other side?

Quite agree Sheila,

I've never been contacted, no smells or noises or strange movement of furniture etc.
I have often wondered why no one sends a mesage telling us which religion is the right one as it would mke things so much easier.

If heaven is full of all of your relations?

Are the relations as you remember them?

I was five years old when my gt grandmother died so would she know me now as a grumpy old man, fifty years later or as an angelic little boy and what if I live for another fifty years?

"Gone but not forgotten ?? "

They are not gone, they are in your heart.
