These items got into national media in the UK.

I can't enter into the fun-poking jollities of all this, as the media seem to need to.

It's not about caricatures of silly entities with white sheets and slots for eyes with arms akimbo.

I think it's something awfully real and awfully sad.

What's your view? What's your denomination's view? What's the biblical view?

Departed dead, restless, confused, unhappy, rootless?
Or demons?
Or psychology?

I've had a few strange encounters in my life that make me certain that there is something going on, but as to what it is, I don't know enough to give a definitive answer, and have no denomination to give any guidance on the matter.
