Greetings,

When I used to drive by an old nearby cemetery, I'd unknowingly pick-up 'hitch-hikers' who were spirits that would then follow me home.  I got alot of practice in sending them on to the afterlife, so much that I decided to avoid the roads near their not-so-final resting place. 

So I was surprised several evenings ago when our dog started visually tracking something around the ceiling like he did with the earlier spirits and then jumped like he'd been pinched. (Too cold here for insects.) Soon I was feeling a light buffeting, as though someone were slapping me lightly with a piece of cloth. Mentally I told it to stop and it didn't until eventually we were mentally communicating.

He was sort of annoying so I have to admit I never sent him much PUL, but I was interested in his situation and wanted to help if I could. We determined he'd died 23 years ago, but he wouldn't say how. He accepted that the afterlife Reception Center might be an interesting trip. The only person he knew that he would like to meet there was his grandmother, but she was young enough to still be living. Anyway, he was willing to look for the Light, and soon easily lifted off with Helpers (sensed).

I put both his and his grandmother's names into a websearch, along with 'NC' and 'genealogy.' One find has both surnames in a nearby county, and two other sites have his grandmother's full name showing 'her' still involved in activities in that area. I think that's promising! 

Last night I meant to try to return to first meeting him (time is irrelevant in afterlife contacts) but I fell asleep. I'm going to write out some questions for him and try again.  I hope his answers will cut short the need for more web genealogy research, although it's seemingly a good place to start.

Even though it's not completed, I'm posting this because it shows several ways C1 consciousness can be involved in retrievals.  The retriever doesn't have to go out of body  at all; just a meditative state will do it

Hi Bets
I realize this is a few months old but I think it is interesting and wonder if there is any more follow-up.
I also wonder if this happens to you after you visit a hospital (hitch hikers). Lots of people die in the hospital and yet we have more ..mythology..associated with cemeteries than with hospitals. Yet it makes as much sense to me that a spirit would stick around where the body was last inhabitited as that it would stick around where the embalmed body is planted.

Just the other day I was browsing thourgh something perhaps a news magazine as opposed to on-line, and came across a pisture of many bodies wrapped in white cloth...swaddled...and ready for burial. I think it was from last Feb and had to do with something like a car bombing in wherever that happened at that time; it was not Haiti where bodies were not wrapped, but from around the time of the earthquake.

So what do you think it means? A little different from a hospital unless there is an epidemic going on.
