Did I Really See My Uncle Harry's Ghost?

Speculation on did I really see his Spirit or was it something else?

Please note that the title is a question mark. That is because even at the present I can not be absolutely certain that I really did observe my Uncle Harry's Spirit.

I will hopefully be able to explain what I mean by my great uncertainty. The experience happened over fifteen years ago, yet many aspects of it I can recall as if it happened just recently.

The details I am definite about. It's the cause that is a mystery to me. First of all there was nothing, spooky, frightening, alarming to me. In fact the whole time this, what ever it was was occurring there was a strong sense of deep appreciation, love, peacefulness. My feelings were ones of love and peace.

My Uncle Harry had recently passed to the other side via liver cancer. I remember when he was on this earth I happened to be in downtown, Philadelphia, PA where he worked as as an investment broker for "Hopper, Soliday and Sheridan". He was across the street. I didn't say hello for two reasons. My voice I didn't believe would carry that far and the fact that he was deaf.

He worked his way through the University of Pennsylvania majoring in Electrical Engineering, as a boxer and another fighter punched him in his left ear, destroying his ear drum. How he became an investment broker from majoring in electrical engineering is a rather long story.

Little did I know that about a month later he would succumb to a fatal disease. I thought that at the time I could always say hello another time. Now I know that not to wait. For if you wait you might not get another chance. To use the old but oh so true clich�. Strike while the iron is hot.

Well a couple weeks later I saw my him in my bedroom. He was three dimensional. He spoke in his regular voice. I instantly knew it was my relative when I told one of his terribly corny jokes. The kind where the recommended hand position is tightly over your ears.

I do vividly remember that thinking that if it was a dream, than absolutely nothing at all from my bedroom was in any way different. I also thought I might have been in a hypnologic state. This is a state that is somewhat between a sleep and wake state. I can not rule out this possibility. I do know that what ever it was there is a deep appreciation that I experienced it.
