Some believe in a spiritual part of our being, an invisible compass point on our anatomy that directs us with visible strength, evident when faced with adversity. Some vehemently do not believe in ghosts. Yet there is the inexplicable, which gives rise to questions: is it really 'them', can they return? If it all originates in our heads, why does the mind play games with us by making use of the dead in the midst of life to frighten us or help us through?
