I am posting this to find out what everyone thinks about afterlife. I believe that when we die we are all "earthbound" which means we our spirit stays on earth and we can communicate with the living and go anywhere we like and learn anything we want to learn and as we progress though "afterlife" we can advance to higher plains of existense. There are 7 to be exact and the last being a godlike state. The only reason why there are hauntings and other things like that is that most people don't know they are dead and stay earthbound for many years. Anyways, I would like to hear other peoples views on the subject.

Incream,
Are you offering this thread as a collection of imaginative fictions or as hypotheses that have some basis?
Your idea sounds interesting but is not unusual. What would be more interesting is if you and others could show your/their reasoning behind the ideas.
For example what is meant by a spirit and where does it reside and how does it survive. If it is immaterial as is a common idea then how does it communicate with the material world?
Do you know that hauntings actually occur, and if so how do you know.
So far all scientific studies into the paranormal either show fraudulent claims or no grounds or the phenomenons are unexplaianable.
So how would you explain and justify your claims?
All clinical studies indicate that when the brain begins to decay, i.e. death, then all memories and brain patterns are irretrievably lost. If a spirit is somehow able to retain this information then how is that possible?

I have read many books on the subject which explore many ideas of what the afterlife is like. All of them come back to what i stated. With testimony for near death experiences, meduims, and other clairvoyent and clairaudient people. I have witnessed a few hauntings and I am a member of the Southeastern Michigan Ghost Hunters Society. I have taked many unexplainable pictures. I have posted this thread, not for fiction, but for beliefs and hypotheses with backing evidence. If you would like I could give you the name of some books and give you the definitions of many different kind of ghosts.
Increan,
Personally, I believe we are worm food. Thats it. Nothing else, save our memories in those we knew that are still living.
If you have evidence or reason that contradicts my belief...please post it! I completely respect your belief..but skeptics (such as cris and myself) have no reason to believe in an afterlife or ghosts...
Can you post some of these pictures?
