Free Do Dead People Watch You Shower? by Concetta Bertoldi

I think it is in a very simple form. It would be telepathic, as we communicate with other human souls, but maybe the ideas we expressed would have to be more simple, not sophisticated. For instance, I don’t think you’d suddenly be having a philosophical discourse with your Irish Setter, but maybe with your Siamese.

Is it true that cats are psychic and can see the dead? If so, are they the only animals that can do this, or do all animals see ghosts?
     
    Cats aren’t the only ones. All animals have a sixth sense. One of my friends lost her boyfriend and her dog kept seeing him. She’d hear her dog barking and go into the bedroom and the smell of cigar smoke would be really strong. Her boyfriend always used to smoke cigars so she knew it was him, but her dog would always be the one to alert her first.

Do the dead go to ball games?
     
    Yes, sure. But their way of being a spectator is different from ours. They may watch a loved one playing baseball. Or they may watch a loved one watching a game. But they are watching because we belong to them. I don’t think they’re watching to see who wins or loses—they’re not betting on the Subway Series!

Even if the dead don’t bet on ball games, weren’t there a lot of happy Red Sox fans in heaven in 2004?
     
    Truthfully, I don’t really think, from what I know about the Other Side, that anyone was really waving foam fingers around. I think they knew why the Sox won that year, and why they hadn’t won in other years. But what I can say is that anyone over there, who had a Sox-loving loved one still here, would have been happy for their loved one, even if they also appreciated that in the scheme of things winning a ball game or even a series is not that big a deal. They do appreciate it when we are happy.

Do the dead go to bars?
     
    There are many dimensions of God, but I don’t really think that a bar scene is one of them—even though there may be plenty of spirits in a bar. The dead don’t drink so I’m thinking that there are not bar crawls on the Other Side. A Sex on the Beach or a Fuzzy Navel would no longer hold any meaning for them.

Do the dead listen to music?
     
    Well, there is a Hall of Records on the Other Side, but it’s not what it sounds like. It’s not some big CD collection. And the angels are not jamming or hip-hopping up there. But there is definitely music. In fact, the Other Side is the source of music, they channel it to us, to those on this side who we think of as composers—they really are just receiving a channel. I am honestly not sure how it works. Obviously, it comes from God, it doesn’t originate with a particular soul on the Other Side as opposed to a soul on this side. But I don’t know what the mechanism is. What I can tell you is that, believe it or not, all music is intended for healing. What can I say? You may hate opera, or rap, or reggae. You may grimace at jazz, or tango music, or rock and roll. Classical music may leave you utterly cold or disco might make you gag. But all souls vibrate with a different frequency; we’re not all tuned to the same station, and with music it truly is a case of different strokes for different folks. What makes one person insane will be music to the ears and healing to the spirit of another. Music has the power to both calm and invigorate us and we don’t need to translate it to any other language—it can be appreciated universally. It’s magical medicine and all of it comes from over there. Mozart was a child when he began composing, Beethoven was both blind and deaf and still wrote music that has lasted through the ages. Their compositions were channeled to them, from God, as all other music has been channeled through all other musicians in this world.

Do the dead keep a schedule?
     
    No. The word does not even exist on the Other Side. Often when I’m doing a reading and I get a prediction from someone over there, my client will ask, “When is that going to happen?” Well,
