I don't believe in any of this shit. No god, no devil, no spooks, no karma, no spirtual force joining together the universe, nada. It's just the way I'm wired, I guess. I do however like what you said about a ghost being a manifestation of what you're not at peace with. Like my granny, who was just a huge influence in my life, loved bluebirds. She had bluebird houses and bluebird feeders, and bluebird-themed linens and needlepoint thingys, etc. When she died, at the graveside service, my brother stood and related a story about Gran. While he spoke, I saw a bluebird alight on a nearby tree branch. Then he flew down to the ground about ten feet from where my brother stood. And then he hopped toward him, until he was standing not two feet in front of him. The bluebird stayed there the whole time he spoke, staring up at him and cocking his head first one way and then the next. Then, he turned and hopped a few times, and flew away. Very unusual behavior for a bluebird. When I discussed this afterward with a few people, they all said, "Oh, your Gran was there!", which frankly just makes me want to puke, however well-intentioned the sentiment. However, I will say that I am very grateful for the strange coincidence of it, because it did make me feel as if she WAS there for a moment, and I liked that, even if it was entirely my own doing.

I really want to see "Shining City" here in NYC. I saw "The Weir" when I was in London a few years back--it had a similar theme, it sounds like. My husband just saw "The Seafarer" a couple of weeks ago. He said it was amazing...

Nothing ghostly or supernatural has ever happened to me. I'm very jealous of those it HAS happened to (i.e. almost everyone I know). Part of me believes in such things and the other part... well, it's hard to believe in something if you've never experienced it yourself. I guess I HOPE there are cool things like ghosts & psychics.

I believe in ghosts. Particularly, the ghost of my former stage career. Or the ghost of my belief in true love. I kid! Well...only sorta...
