I do take your point, and accept all that.

Though logic takes over, and tells me there isn't really a nowty owd git sat in the corner of my sitting room.

These hallucinations happen in some people with Parkinson's pre-diagnosis, when there's no drug interference. They did with me.

Another common hallucination is rats/scurrying animals.

I see them very life like rats, but the ones I see have long, finger like claws. Odd.

It does suprise me, logic, being an arty-farty old romantic.

But seeing as I don't believe there's any life after death, I'm going to need to see for myself, something spectacularly unexplainable, to believe it.
