Why do spirits have to appear in recognizable human form? What about all the other unexplained phenomena that don’t look anything like us? There are mists and orbs, rods and shadows, black masses, blobs - all kinds of stuff, but unless it looks exactly like a person, it is often dismissed. My experience suggests it’s more likely a spirit would appear as one of these than in human form. I think many of us are totally missing a number of great opportunities for contact and communication by refusing to look beyond our own image. All EVP can’t sound like Sean Connery. Some apparitions look a lot like the Pillsbury Doughboy. Go figure.
