Signs from Loved Ones: a Dragonfly

I recently gave a talk to a group of kids from age 10 to 13 about ghosts and spirits, and how they communicate with the living. There were about 30 kids and they all paid attention - as it turned out, many of them had encounters with Earth-bound ghosts or spirits (who crossed into the light).

  One boy named Dustin had a couple of encounters. When he entered the room I immediately sensed that he has the ability to communicate with those who have passed.
  He told me that his grandfather loved dragonflies, and had many dragonfly things in his home. When his grandfather passed away, Dustin would visit his surviving grandmother, and a dragonfly would follow him around. He said that his grandmother felt the dragonfly was his grandfather. The dragonfly isn't necessarily his grandfather- but is influenced by his grandfather's spirit to come by and visit Dustin. Human souls come back as humans later on (insects are of a different level spirit).
  Typically children can perceive spirits or ghosts and signs from them- that's because their logical minds have not yet developed to a point of an adult. Logical thinking blocks out signals from the dead, by trying to explain them in the physical world.
  It was amazing to talk with the group of kids, and how many are attuned to the spirit world (and yes, most of them watch ghost hunting shows on TV).
