Happy (Ghost) Feet

Episode 25 - Happy (Ghost) Feet (Based on a True Story) 

If you ever spoke to a dead person, would you know it? Would anyone else be able to see the dead person and witness the conversation, or would it look like you're talking to yourself? I'm trying to steer clear of a "Sixth Sense" scenario here, but I've heard many stories where the dead return for a final farewell.  I remember my Māori teacher from college talking about a kid who missed school, turned up in the afternoon on his horse, and then left, only for a message to arrive at the school later that day saying the kid had died earlier that morning. This tale is true, and secondly, I'm going to let one fact out here that's not in the story but needs to be said: one of the characters quit her job after the incident. We know that the dead can indeed come back, but this story is not about that; it's about why the dead choose to return.
