Right every human being that has died since the bloomin' stone age etc,(billions)if there was life after death,ghosts etc.We should be knee deep in them.Strange no one sees cave men ghosts etc,mostly  Victorian types it seems,ladies in long dresses etc..only going back a century or so.

You know, Prom asked at the beginning of the thread if people could share their experiences that would indeed indicate that there was life after death.

Reading through this thread I can see that people are reluctant to but ( like me) just say that they believe.
However those who do not believe are most vociferous in their responses which makes it even less likely that people will respond in the way you wanted.

I would NEVER mock someone for not believing that there is an afterlife. I would NEVER mock someone's faith ( notice I do not say religion).
However in this thread it is open season.

All of you are more than entitled to your beliefs...

But don't knock people who do think there is something else.
Maybe we are deluded, maybe we are fools.
BUT for me, at the moment. the thought someone is looking out for me is what gets me through the day sometimes.

There is 

I don't mock folk that believe, my own cousin is convinced that she is psychic and some of the things she sees and states are very believable. Only last year she stated she "saw" my late mother in our hallway and spoke to her.My mother stated to her,"It's so nice to see children laughing in this house again"(my cousins kids) However I  still have my cynical/science hat on at all times.

However I would love to believe ,but just can't.

And that is fair enough

I do get spooked by her at times,lol.(My cousin)She was told many times by various mediums etc,that she has a very powerful gift.She  can do tarot readings etc,but really stops short of "Chanelling" spirits.She doesn't feel strong enough to cope.She has had problems in her life. Hmm ,Maybe some folk are more open to such things,than us cynics...

The house I live in now has seen  deaths,my family members..My grandad died in the bedroom,(a long illness)my dad died suddenly of a heart attack in the same room.My brother died in the living room,I assume folk have died before we were tennants etc.Every building must have life forces in it.Scientists state that if conditions are right we can have replays  of events etc.LIke videos,cameras  etc   out there in the ether.,.

My mind is not totally closed.

I just deleted a post with offensive language in it, FYI.

Please don't make me do that again.

the gypepperie take on this is that we ARE  all reincarnated all the species on the planet. Thats why there are more and more humans as other species die out

You could come back as a gnat or if your a gnat now with a bit of luck you may come back as a human

Someone once said (prob on C4 GBBF!) there's no point.     People who don't believe won't believe 'proof' and people who do, don't need it.       Me?    I believe there's 'something' but believe a lot of mediums etc are fake.   However... my sister went to one of those 'psychic fairs' once - I told her she was stupid, they were rogues and charlatans etc - and she came back with a tape of a conversation that I listened to with my most cynical head on, and was blown away.    I was listening for the leading questions - none came.     She said very personal things about my Mum's last days and the way she passed, without prompting.    


 could give details - in fact, I have just typed a lot of stuff and deleted it.    Ref my second sentence above.

I'm a dunno, I like the thought that people I've loved are still being themselves somewhere. I don't believe in the heaven and hell thing but I am liking the reincarnation theory.

Each to their own Issy..as stated, I personally do not believe as yet..but would not mock slate or belittle anyone who does! I shouldn't pay any heed to those who do

Those interested in Reincarnation may like to watch the above, I saw it posted in another Forum a few days ago. The man in question is "possibly" the reincarnation of the artist Paul Gauguin. Watch till the end to make up your own mind

It's life - but not as we know it!
