My brother had an interesting experience, about a month or two after my father's passing. My brother (Whom I will call Bill) had gone into a diner to order some breakfast for carry out. He noticed a man sitting at a table in the rear of the diner, wearing a hat very similar to the kind my father liked to wear (Dad was born in Texas and always wore one of those ten gallon hats.) As he stared, he realized that it was my father, and that he did not look pleased. He continued to glower at my brother the whole time he was in the diner, and just before leaving, Bill glanced back once, and the man had vanished. Bill had another visitation a month later, while waiting for a train in the subway station, and noticed my father standing in the crowd on the platform, looking angrily at him. It was later discovered that my father had not made a will, so there had been some money in his bank account when he died. Probate court rules were that all surviving siblings had to sign an affidavit and then the funds would be divided equally among us. Bill lied in probate court, claiming himself to be the only offspring of my father, and had been awarded with all the money. I guess Dad wasn't too happy with him!
