The "Afterlife": Fact or fiction?

I am definately on the fact side of things, I think that as kids we all are open to seeing ghosts more, and that when a little kid has an imaginary friend, it is actually the ghost of another child that they are playing with, but as adults we usually teach them therre is no such things as ghosts, and so by the time we grow up most of us pass these things off as the wind, or coincidence or a glitch in the camera. I firmly believe in ghosts, and afterlife situations, I believe that the more we are open to it, the more likely we are to have the experiences. Just talk to anyone who has encountered a ghost, that never believed, wasn't going through a stressful time in life, but still had the experience and is now a believer.

i have no personal experience of this, but i like to think this is fact. surely this isn't all there is, otherwise, what is the point of all this? plus i would really like to meet my children i have lost through various stages of the pregnancy one day when i eventually pass over to the other side.

I believe the body holds the essence of true life, so when the body is too old, injured or ill to live, the energy/essence juts leaves it, but still loves and goes somewhere else to continue to learn! I believe in an afterlife.
