Right, I believe that too. Now, I don't have voices telling me "to do things" that would bother me for sure! When I read about awful things some one has done and they say "voices told them to do it"- it's a scary thing!!! Elvis said he believed demons were on earth, and read scriptures that related to that- and said if people were "open" spiritually and naive and didn't have any knowledge of how to be "safe" or they drank or did harmful drugs etc: like so many were experimenting with in the 60's they could be "possessed" by these evil ones and that many people who were "insane" were the possessed and that they were kept on drugs in hospitals etc: and didn't have anyone who understood what was going on with them mentally. I kind of think he could be right about some cases...but not all.
When my departed from the physical horses have "come" back to visit or whatever they want to do at the time- I first hear their hoof steps, then I feel them and sometimes smell them-they all smell different just like humans and other animals- and I will hear their movements, and then they sometimes have been "visable" right beside me-I see them and have seen them in the field with the other horses who are still here- I think the other's see and communicate with them at these times too.
From their actions and reactions. Such as when we had to put our oldest mare down and she had been gone a few days, I put our younger mare in the oldest one's corral- she didn't want to be there, she cowered in the corner, she weaved and fretted and acted weird when fed- suddenly after seeing her anxiousness, stopped and was watching her, thinking what is the matter with Promia- she turned quickly, stared into my eyes with her head up and a most pleading expression on her pretty horse face- and I suddenly knew- Maxi was still there- in the corral-Promia was afraid of her- Maxi was the "leader" she didn't share well ever either. So I moved Promia back to her corral and she settled right down. It was months before I put any other horse in Maxi's corral- I talked to her, said hello and good night as if she was still there- and then I told her she could go with Mexico, our other horse who had died two years earlier- and she could go with Dejavu the pinto mare we had to put down (she was in her mid 20's and a resuce whe'd had for 8 years) and that she would be with Bourbon, my boy whom we had to put down just a few days before Maxi (that was a bad summer) and that we would see her and all of them soon.
Well, she went- once in a while she comes by, but she doesn't make anyone nervous anymore and Promia likes to go into that pen to be next to our gelding Tor whom she's known since his birth. So there are weird things, but only feel strange if you don't understand or want to know such things- I think it's perfectly normal to have such experiences with animals and with people who have departed the physical bodies and gone onto the freedome of the spiritual. But then, I have been called "certifiable" by some... and nuts by others.... so to each their own. Personally, I try to enjoy these experiences...and feel they are blessings. wjh
