So I agree. I'm sort of on the fence with it.

I can't say if the woo I experienced is just coincidence or not. I mean it seems to have happened too many times for it to be coincidence or for it not to mean something.

The problem is, there's nothing absolutely concrete. So I guess I remain open-minded.
Cruithne and MQ, you are both correct because it is not really woo. It is real.

I think we were both being slightly tongue in cheek there.


I once read somewhere that practically nobody, even the most die hard skeptic, gets through life without experiencing something unexplained related to someones passing. Certainly I have had several such experiences, as have several die hard skeptics in my family.

In this case, some kind of unexplained incident relating to the passing of a loved one.

Most people think that after they die, they turn into orange slime, and ease into the Earth's magma by way of pipes, sewage drains, and aquifers.

Kind of a derogatory term used by some to describe claims of unexplainable or otherworldly encounters.

From the caroonish image of a Casper-type ghost waving its arms and saying "woo-woo".

Those of us who give a nod to the possibility of woo or think we have experienced it embrace the term.

I've officiated at quite a few funerals. Never heard of one incident.
