Smiling, I am very interested in what you come up with.  I've always been interested in finding out more about these strange creatures.  Will you post a link to your blog?  I would like to read it.

The one thing that lends cause for concern to me is that the beings are dark.  Many believe that the light is good and dark is evil.  I don't know.  Its just a thought on my part.  Why dark?  

It is uncanny how most everyone that has an experience relates much of the same descriptions.  

Surinder,  often when folks pass, they don't know they are dead or can't find their way.  Then, a prayer, such as you did, or some acknowledgment with the suggestion to move on, seems to go a long ways.  I'm glad he is at peace, now.  And, what you say about thanks is a good thing to do.  Any time one deals with the spiritual realm one should specify to whom they are speaking and to give consideration, as in thanks.  They are always around us and they are a 'pushy' bunch.  LOL  The spirits seem to want to be heard so much that they will slip in whenever they get a chance.  Thus, the purpose in specifying with whom you wish to speak.

And, JLD, the one I saw was formed mainly from the waist up.  Below that, there really wasn't anything.  Mine kind of reminded me of a "genie" when it comes out of the lamp.  When I was first seeing it, I thought it might have been my ex-husband, who had passed recently.    

Thanks, all!  Every visit to the forum is a learning experience for me!

Thank you SURUHA for your responce ............yes thanks or sorry may have become mere words for us common humanbieng    but when we think or try to comunicate with the entities on the other side ...these words have a great power , i personally experience it ......when we ask for forgiveness   or say thanks from the core of our heart ,   it reaches whareever we want it to.   And thank you for that link also ....it has so much information abot the topics i was curious to learn but didnt know where to look for it.

Thank you SMILING for starting this thread , It gave a chance to others like me to learn more about these things.

That Crystalinks.com site has an index, the likes I've never seen before.  They include every topic known to man.  LOL  Well, almost.  If you haven't looked, here it is:

Thank you all for your kind words.  Share this info with another and we'll all be enlightened, eventually.  (smiles)

Yes and thank you also everyone for joining in on this thread.  I 've enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts.  I have such a curious mind so you can be sure that there are plenty more topics to come.

Thank you for asking for a link to my blog, I'm sure it will give you an idea of the many burning questions i have and may even inspire you to new threads on here to.  My last post was on SIGNIFICANT SIGNS FROM SPIRIT and an earlier one was on THE OUIJA BOARD BECAME VERY ADDICTIVE.  I would be thrilled if any of you had any comments to make on any of my posts.

I went to your blog and all I can say is that I'm impressed!  I spent an enjoyable Sunday afternoon, reading an "author" who holds many of the same beliefs as I.  You should put your blog link on your siggy, if that is allowed and possible.  People should read what you write.  It is very good.  I'm getting a personal site together, very similar to what you write about.  Yours is an inspiration for me.  

Peace,

Su
