I find it hard to believe that souls exist as souls after we die. I believe our souls, our minds, exist in our bodies, and as our bodies become part of the earth we are buried in, our souls become part of the some part of earth we know nothing about because it is so diffused. So, long story short, I find it easier to believe you were (are?) interacting with the living old lady rather than with the dead. Maybe I'll get convinced that its possible to communicate with the dead if I read more of your work. We'll see. By the way, the is very well written.
