Just a bit more:
1) Some folks say that the remnants after death (called husks)
just decay away, and may or may not be a food source for other
forms of life.
2) Some folks say the above, plus they claim that these 'husks'
can be worn like clothing by some 'beings', to emulate the dead
person.
3) Some folks claim that 'black magicians' sometimes try to keep
their 'husks' 'alive' by siphoning off other energy sources.
4) and of course, there's the speculation that other lifeforms live
in this same ecosystems (the 'fae', etc).
Now.
That's why old books about the 'Fae' always tell stories about the
'fae' needing human souls, and living in the land of the dead with
human remains.
You can read Joshua Cutchin's book on the topic, which reference
credible historical references.. its' not 'new age twaddle'.
(It's old mythological twaddle ;-) )
Now.. the $64,000 dollar question is whether I believe the above
and/or promote it.
All I can tell you, is that the 'angry dwarf' seemed to be a 'husk'
(my own from dying) and I suspect the 'gray alien' I saw in 1982
(the 'familiar' / 'parasite' of the black magician I've written about)
was probably also a 'husk'.
You'll note my words... 'seemed to be'.
Was my 'husk' from dying being 'worn' by something else, in order to
link to me more intimately?
I can't say for certain.
In fact all this might just be wrong.
But I must take it quite seriously as a hypothesis, which I seem to have
experienced up close and person twice in my life so far.
i also suspect that if this 'husk phenomenon' is actually true.. i suspect
that 'weak people' in terms of how vibrantly they think/feel and explore
life, might not generate much of a husk. Occultists or "holy men" might
have powerful ones.. you know.. like the Diamond Body of a Tibetian
Buddhist Monk Adept.
It's nothing to be proud of really.. to leave a powerful 'spiritual corpse'
that will take longer to decay, is hardly something to be proud of.
I do not LIKE that my 30 years of research, in PART includes these theories
and observations. i don't like it one tiny bit.
But I promised myself to face reality, no matter how ugly it got.
