at some point in our lives we've certainly heard someone claiming that they have somehow, someway, they have been contacted by a deceased loved one.
while this has never happened to me, the abundance of varied reports cant seem to be denied. there's a fair share of books on the shelves at the bookstores, a fair number of websites dedicated to this, and a good number of people overall claiming they have been contacted
what exactly is going on? im not sure, but I do have to believe that something is happening.
there are a few websites that strike my interest in this:

they seem to deal more specifically with Electronic Voice Phenomenon, and even provide some purported recordings of afterlife communication. If youve never heard one of these audio clips before, it could cause a few tiny hairs on your back to stand up.
Sure, im skeptical, just like you may be.. Could this be a hoax? ...possibly. Are such claims simply faux? Who knows. But why would so many diligently dedicate themselves to this study? I never heard of any Paranormal/Parapsychic billionaires,..i dont think they are in it for the money, but i do believe that within the number of people out there that are honestly dedicating themselves to this study, that there are indeed those slimeballs that do nothing but set up hoaxes.
I hate to delve into religion, but within the context of the bible somewhere, it specifically forbids attempting to make contact with the deceased, basically indicating that all you would achieve as results would be establishing contact with demons.
why would the holy bible even indicate this? (if anyone knows specifically what part of the bible im referring to, please be kind enough to post the section)
Im interested in knowing if any other chefelfers out there believe in ghosts at all, or if youve been contacted by any deceased loved one, or the like.
