I swear this one is true, on my life this, I'm not saying it was a ghost or whatever, but it's 100% true.
Exactly one year to the hour after my Dad died, I was out in the field in front of our house in cyprus. He started his death there, got stung by a bee which set off the heart attack. Anyway, I was out there on my own. Ma', Uncle Tone (dad's bro), Debs (Dad's nice) and Norma (Family BFF) were in the house, chilling out, doing a bit of cooking, this that and the other. And I hear my uncle shout "Paul, come on in, dinner's ready" and I yelled back "I'll be 2 minutes". I turn around and I see these hummingbirds, about 20 of them. They're very rare and hard to spot, they're darting around the tree. So I spend about 30 minutes photographing them darting in and out of the flowers, got some really good shots. I'd never seen them before. When I was done, I go back into the flat, Tone had been asleep for a good hour or soo. He never shouted out my name.... but then it clicked, Tone has the same voice as my Dad. I heard it enough in order for me to shout back.

I donno what that was, but to me it was quite profound, I heard the voice enough to reply to it, and if it wans't Tone, then maybe possibly it was Dad.

And this was before or after you started taking opiates on a regular basis?

I didn't mean it in a negative way Gonz
But, if I'm honest, it makes you a less credible witness in sketchy areas like this.

The japanese have an expresion "S/he lies like an eye whitness", because if you ask 5 people who saw 1 event, they'll all give different stories.

Very true, eywitness testimony is some of the worst evidence you can get apparently.
and yet it's the most listened to.

Interestingly most of the most 'solid' evidence for ghosts is eyewitness testimony.
