And the person was my late father who was Irish as all hell. I thought he'd never die! Maybe he didn't? He technically died in 1996, or so it seems.

He came to visit me while I was in the hospital when I almost died in 2009 and checked up on me and asked me to assure him that I had no money invested in "That Damned Wall Street" as he called it. I told him, no, I have nothing invested in Wall Street. He said, "Thank God for that!". The next day the economy began to crash (this was in 2008).

Believe what you like but I know what I believe and that is that yes, the dead can come and visit you if they care to.
