Your brain is producing quite a lot of output - maybe you should write the novella.
But the title of your thread is meeting the dead, and this is where people get confounded. Many just don't believe in such tripe. Others do, because they have experienced things they cannot explain. I've had a few things happen to me which are just weird - like the ghost in my house - but I do not wish to take over your thread.
Suffice to say that I have come to believe that there is something in this stuff. I'm not religious either.
