but I believe something happens after you die and we don't know what it is since we aren't dead. I realized this after several "visits" from deceased pets. This is more common than you think. Once you personally experience a strange occurrence your attitude changes. After listening to people from all sorts of religions and cultures all over the world describe their near death experiences I have come to believe there is something that happens after you die and you aren't just dirt. I sort of wish we would just be dirt. Sharon Stone and Elizabeth Taylor described their experiences and they were hesitant since people ridicule you and say you are crazy.

I've had strange things happen to me, my attitude hasn't really changed. Not being able to explain something should elicit an honest, "I don't know," instead of, "Oh, it's supernatural," response.

His/her experience did elicit an initial "I don't know" , but they are now open to possible explanations.
I'm an agnostic and have had similar experiences.

There are a very few people who have won million dollar plus lotteries more than once..They haven't identified as psychics, but if that were the case, it wouldn't be in their interest to do so.
