Wow, Thanks Kurt. Hope life is treating you well and things are fine for you. I didn't think orphanages still existed. You sound like you're speaking from the nineteenth century, like a ghost yourself. It must have been creepy there at night. Of course, now we've learned about the afterlife (if it exists) we ought to be able to cast off the idea that these things are creepy. But frights go deep! My hubby has been away again Monday and Tuesday night and have slept really badly and am exhausted as so aware of the dark and quiet, and thinking my son could suddenly appear beside me again, and maybe I'd see his face this time. This is a whole year later, today is the actual anniversary of the "haunting". Don't get me wrong: I was thrilled to bits and still am. Can't deny I can still remember watching "Scooby Doo" cartoons and being disappointed when the spirit was unmasked as an ordinary person.
Anyone Seen An Apparition?

What orphanage was that may I ask?

Brookhaven Youth Ranch, located in West Texas. Its. Billed as a group home for boys but is really just a dumping ground for kids with nowhere to go. Juvenile Delinquents go there as a sort of halfway post before going home and so do foster youth no one wants to adopt. I refused to be adopted so thats where i ended up at. Its a very predatory enviroment when ypu mix two groups of people and one is inherently defenseless while the other is inherently vicious. It sucks the humanity out of you.
A staff murdered a kid in 1999. And still works there. My best friend got murdered there in 2014.. The news story left out some big details.
Not sure how you move on from that, Kurt. You're doing really well.
Yesterday an elderly lady told me that she had briefly left her body and was looking down at herself in a group of others on a tour. I think she said South America, at altitude. Very interesting that this happens to our consciousness. She also told me that after her husband died four months ago for a short period she had no shaking at all in her hands.

For me i focus on my future. As for her? Awww... Thats sweet that she had that kind of resolve and comfort in him going to heaven.
The SA story is interesting. Sometimes i walk around without really thinking about anything. Like i have no conscious.... Complete disconnection.
I wonder if our experiences somehow corellate.
I used to have plenty of OBEs in pubescence.

I don't know if it was an apparition but I saw a black... Thing... Looked like the shadow of maybe a bird flying but it was in mid-air away from any wall or surface...a little black(maybe four inches) puff of shape. And it moved in a direction further away from the wall (it was a couple of feet away from the wall) and towards me to my left and I was wide awake and actually turned my head and watched it as it disappeared. It has happened twice that I can recall, the other time was in a different home. I was 100% awake with the tv on and fiddling with my phone. There wasn't any way for a shadow to be where it was and in any case, it was in mid-air and not against a solid object.
If you think you saw something it was probably there!

Was it sort of a transparent white color?

I have, more than once. Wish I hadn't. As someone once said to me, I can play ostrich and fight any communication till the cows come home, but if the Universe has different plans, all my fighting is/will be useless. As usual, I spent an inordinate amount of time and effort to find a "reasonable" explanation 
Ravensgate, would you be able to answer if it's the same deceased more than one time? Is this ADCs in your view, or unknown ghosts? What were your top contenders for a reasonable explanation? Sorry about all these questions. It's just such an interesting subject and no-one will talk about it.
