 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folklore Folklore] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythology mythology] have historically played a dominant role in cultures around the world. They were the core transmitters of knowledge, wisdom, history and morals for people. They validated man's basic belief in himself as a spiritual being.
-Today's modern materialistic world has lost much of that rich well of culture and understanding to be replaced with an over-reliance on machines, gadgets and all sorts of awe-inspiring technological wizardry. This has led to a general degradation of societies appreciation and understanding of spiritual matters. Religion sought to replace myth, legend and lore with dogma, ritual and subservience. Then the industrial age sought to mechanize and automate everything.

 Those who are too firmly entrenched in the materialistic world are often incapable of discerning these things and you will very often find them railing against, mocking and nullifying such suggestions. It has always been so. But as mentioned above, man's long-held belief in himself as a spiritual being far outweighs and outnumbers the naysayers.
-There's no need to attempt to offer proof to the materialist either, since we all have an appointment with the final arbiter anyway.

 The legend of a grateful ghost or spirit is found in many cultures around the world. It has to do with a stranger, usually a traveler, who's act of kindness in seeing to the proper burial of someone, gets rewarded by the spirit of that person. (see Wikipedia article below)

 Calling the dead, "dead", is actually a falsehood. The dead are very much alive, albeit "sans le corps" (without a body), ...as alive as thee or me. This is something most people accept, at least on some level, and something one gets an ever greater "reality" on as one progresses "up the Bridge" in Scientology.
