Feeling the presence of the deceased [possibly triggering]

My DB died recently - the circumstances of his death are quite distressing, but I have had 3 occasions since his death when i felt as if he was somehow giving me messages - almost like someone dropping thoughts in my brain. Twice that he was a peace and once that someone I didn't know (but whose name was on his phone) should read a passage at his funeral. I am not religious, don't really believe in life after death and not usually prone to flights of fancy; my family clearly think I am mad when I mention it. We weren't even that close, although I obviously loved him. Has anyone else experienced this?

Corr that must be quite scary op. How do you feel about it?
I had rather lucid dreams when my mum died. They felt so real, I could feel her warmth and smell her. She told me she was happy and moving on.

Not sure if I believe them but it was comforting in a way.

I think that's the point - I don't find it scary at all - it's actually very comforting (except for the fact that I wonder if I am going mad). He was a very nice man so couldn't be scary if he tried.
