The June 29 "Iron Ranger's View" column, "Friend's ghost sent message about beliefs, the afterlife," seemed like nothing more than a tongue-in-cheek embellishment of the writer's overactive imagination.
Do not all myths, faiths, ghost stories, fairy tales and moments of paranormal preposterousness have such unproven beginnings? Did the writer truly think a logical person would swallow such a tale?
Stating he and his deceased friend (the supposed ghost) both believed after-death appearances and all paranormal incidences were solely the products of people's overactive imaginations, and that human existence ends with the last heartbeat, followed by blackness, evidently didn't supplant a good ghost story.
