Who wouldn’t prefer a universe where there was some evidence of life after death? I have tried to be open to such things, but have always been disappointed.
I used to spend time in a cave, late at night , at the bottom of a 100 meter vertical shaft deep inside the cave. I had been doing archeological work there, but liked to explore alone at night. There were no other people within miles. The cave had been used by paleolithic humans, who had left art and artifacts there. The Spanish had used the cave in the 17th century for a massacre of hundreds rebellious islanders. During WW2, the cave was used to hide civilians and Japanese military during the American invasion. Towards the end, it was used as a Japanese field hospital. The Americans ended up driving tanks up to the cave entrance to shell those inside, and using flame throwers. Many hundreds of people had died there, under horrible circumstances. Their bones and artifacts remain. I spent quite a bit of time there, open to supernatural experiences. The way I see it, there are not many places more likely to be haunted. I have spent a lot of time in such places, but I never got so much as a shiver. Either I am just not sensitive enough, or there just is not anything there. I keep hoping.
