It's always curious (and a little amusing) to find people hellbent on disproving the existence of spirits or other people's claims of interactions and encounters. Sometimes they try so hard they remind me of the religious right who keep insisting that allowing gays to marry will harm their own, individual marriage. What's the harm in it, really?
I have had multiple, even ongoing experiences with loved ones and strangers who've left the physical plane. Every time, regardless of how close my relationship was with the person or animal during his/her life, I experience the same flash of hair standing up on my neck. The energy in the room changes. It's a bit unnerving. And I just know I'm not alone. It occurs out of the blue--I'm not consciously thinking of that person or animal. Sometimes, my pets "see" it before I do. When you've got two cats following something across a room that you can't see with your eyes...well...
Can I prove this to be an encounter with a spirit? No. Do I believe it? Yes, absolutely. Too much has happened that I cannot explain. Perhaps science is catching up to the spirit world. In the meantime, I'll still believe.
