Debbie,
I know what you mean- I tell curious people a lot of what we 'listen' to amounts to "banter" and they always seem shocked (guess for some it has to be "profound and angelic" or the 'other')...Hear certain ones telling newbies to "concentrate" a lot.  I think they are bored, probably accounts somewhat for the desire to communicate with us.  My grandmother remarked, "Nothing is familiar here."

Last week a male voice said that he was 'translating.'  Another said, "I can translate it for you."  And then a woman piped up, "You're already doing it."  (I was a stone's throw from a cemetery) Further in a male voice suggested, "Hold a Benediction."

It's the cemetery spirits that fascinate me...I asked why they remain and was told, "They're waiting for the 'Grand Memorial.'"  (Perhaps a prayer service would suffice?)

Wish we had the 'Day of the Dead' as they do in Mexico and Brazil- people wouldn't be so freaked out about all of this if it were part of our tradition.
