  My opinion?

  I don't believe in angels, demons, ghosts, wandering souls, or near death, out of body experiences. All such purported phenomena can be explained by more common place natural events. These explainations are less exciting and "spooky", but more believable.

  ooopps sorry, got sidetracked there.

  back to the point. this doohicky did the usual. you ask to hear from freinds, relatives.
  you record the background noise of the room.

  then by removing you voices, you get the odd word from "beyond".

  it was mostly "hello from dad" stuff, but sometimes people said, "theyre recording us"

  weird stuff.

  I've watched the John Edwards show and it all seems like a crock to me. It's all so easy to fake.

  John Edward's show is carefully edited to make him look good. He also has production assistants planted throughout the audience to gather clues. On live talk shows he runs about 30%, which is about what anyone could do guessing. He's very good at what he does. He puts on a really good show.

  Check out his website; he schedules appointments a YEAR in advance and it costs big $$$$ to get a private reading. He and his wife also offer fabulous island getaways where they claim to be able to teach YOU to talk to your dead by taking their 'seminars'...and it ain't cheap! As most of us know too well, it's pretty easy to manipulate a willing person, thus cult membership of all kinds; the vacation seminar thing is near-genius in its use of psychological control techniques in a closed setting.

  If I had a year to do some basic research, I could give you an astoundingly accurate reading, too! I could take you to a fabulous relaxing fun place and convince you of something you want to believe anyway. Anyone with a basic grasp of behavior modification techniques and sideshow psychic tricks could do what Edward does. The thing that sets him apart is his ability to convince even himself that what he's doing is somehow 'supernatural'.

  Edward is a student of Sylvia Brown, another fabulously pricey psychic prostitute.

  Beware, beware of those who want to SELL you their 'ability to communicate with the dead'.

  Two equally true statements follow:

  When the dead talk, they talk to John Edward.

  The dead don't talk.

  Caveat emptor,

  Hey you don't need to apologise for talking to me joseafish lots of peeple do it. lol.

  So you're brother's dating a sandgroper eh? Those west australians are so far away from the rest of us they keep talking about succeding into a separate country .. they even search us at the border and steal our fruit.

  OK I better say something about life after you're dead and talking to dead people. Well, apart from the fact that I am talking to you even though i was dead once I have little confidence in what anyone else tells me on the subject. This is an area you need to go research personally. Attend some seances, go to a wiccan covern, spend nights in haunted places then think long and hard about your experiences and what they mean.

  I have related some of my ghost experiences on the nett but it's hard to retell the reality of these things without just being there. Every personal experience in this field opens more questions and i figure if you want to learn more about it you'd best resign yourself to enjoying the ride and relish the open minded enquirey.

  Is it polite or even safe to ask a ghost why he/she/it never says anything of deep interest to us (like the nature of God or wether it's possible to power a vehicle by cold nuclear fussion or why Scotsmen have such hairy ears and noses? ;)

  cheers, unclebruce

  I have no problem with people talking to the dead. It's when the dead start answering back

  Dammit, Sharkey Farkey, you beat me to it! LOL

  they sounded semi-plausable.

  Joe, me bucko, I recommend that you pay close attention to what your subconscious is trying to tell you here. Look at what you wrote. Look closely at it. Think about what it means.
