Happily I'm still compos mentis enough (yet) to know what I think I can see, is just the result of a combination of the chemical imbalance in my brain which causes Parkinson's disease, and the drugs I take to help with the symptoms.
I think you'd have to believe in life after death, to accept the existance of spirits, and I don't.
Perhaps if I ever saw something I couldn't explain I'd change my mind.
Though it hasn't happened in the last forty odd years, so the chances seem slim.

Consider for a moment that maybe the drugs you take for Parkinsons are reactivating the 6th sense which humans lost, so enabling you to see what most people cannot, but which has always been there.
In a similar fashion, shamans take Ayahuasca, in order to meet with the ancestors during an 'altered state of conciousness'. Ayahuasca produces DMT in the brain - a chemical which is naturally produced in the brain but in minute quantities in normal circumstances.
