E.Y., there's a thing getting more common called Ghost Hunting. If you want to invest some actual time in getting self assurance in the after-life, that's probably the thing to do. It's nutty and kind of stupid, but hey, such is life!
I'm too lazy, but have read a little. Don't expect to see shit the vast majority of the time.
Someone posted a quote from some porn whore on this board recently where some porn whore is doing it.
There are a few fake reality shows on TV going right now about it. But, you get an idea of what's involved if you watch.
I don't think that I could ever get into that. The notion is interesting enough, and it isn't any more of a waste of time than catch-and-release fishing I would guess (without the the nice view of a good lake). I am quite sure there are exceptions to the rule, but the people who tend to go in for that sort of thing seem to be people who would consider a silent fart in the middle of the night to be proof positive that a ghost was present. My mind doesn't function that way, I wish it did--life would be soooo much easier.
The goofy machines they use are enough to put me off. As a former repair electrician with pretty extensive (formal not self taught) supplemental training in electronics during my misspent youth, those assinine contraptions they tend to carry around are enough to make my head explode.
As I said, it isn't the idea of it that puts me off, and I don't look down my nose at people who are into that like many skeptics. I think of it as an interesting fishing expedition type hobby for people who already believe.
