I am wondering what it is like to be a ghost or to experience reality without a physical body like the people who have died or live in haunted houses. Some people describe it as relaxing and other people say it's scary or unfulfilling if they did not accomplish things they wanted. If you guys have ever died or are currently dead, what is your experience?

Literally no one alive can tell you because there is no sensory input when you’re dead. Hence the being dead part.

But if you want to try to imagine what it will be like, the commenter who stated imagining what it was like pre-conception/birth…that’s about as accurate as is possible to describe.

I anticipate nothingness — and I’m reminded of what Mark Twain said about fearing death.
