THE QUESTION MARK OVER GHOSTS - THE SIGHTING OF GHOST OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Are Ghosts real ? Or are they just a figment of our imagination ? We hear a lot of stories about them being all around us but is there any conclusive confirmation ? What is their domain and what is their purpose in appearing before a chosen set of people and making startling revelations as regards their mutual relationships or past occurences in their previous lives ? These are the questions that remain to be answered thus keeping the issue mystified.

But first of all,let us understand the meaning of the word ghost.A Ghost may be referred to as the spirit of a dead person especially,one believed to appear in bodily likeness to living persons or to haunt former habitats.

One startling revelation came from a woman - Willowdean Vance who along with some friends claimed to have witnessed the spirit of one of the Founding Fathers of U.S.A. - BENJAMIN FRANKLIN while attending a metaphysical meeting in Santa Monica.

She recounts that as they sat listening to Rev. Don Cooper explain (AFTERLIGHT) by candlelight when suddenly the ceiling of the room lit up with a large silver and pink cloud that whirled around the ceiling with great energy.When it cleared they were pleasantly surprised to have a vision of the great Benjamin Franklin.

Willowdean was stunned when the spirit approached her and enquired sadly if she forgot her old friend.On being replied in the affirmative,he made a startling revelation about her past life.

He informed her that in previous life her name was Catherine Ray and she was his favourite correspondent.He also informed her that her letters to him were on file at the University of Pennsylvania.

He further informed her of his indebtness to her for adopting his young sister,JANE MEKOM,in Massachusetts during the revolution thereby saving her from being captured by keeping her as a relative in her family home at Long Island.He also informed her that later on he returned the favour by boarding her son Ray, in his Philadelphia home to attend school with his grandson,Temple.He also informed her of their family relationship that lasted long years.

Is there any plausible explanation for this ? Furthur Willowdean startles us by mentioning that from her very childhood she felt a very strong presence of Benjamin Franklin around her.
