I just read this whole thread so far and it has captivated me! I too believe in spirits, Angels etc....although I have never personally experienced anything, a lot of people I know have. My dad passed away in his sleep in 2002. He had just turned 55. We still don't know what happened to him because they wouldn't do an autopsy on him. I was very close to my dad, as was my 2 sisters and my brother, They all have experienced him being around them but I haven't yet. I am still waiting. I visit his grave all the time and ask him to give me a sign to let me know he is around me. It really breaks my heart that he hasn't been around me yet. Hopefully one day soon!
