Paranormal investigator Mary Ann(1) talked about her experiences with earthbound spirits, many of whom she has helped to cross over, and her work as a consultant on the hit TV show, Ghost Whisperer(2).
Mary Ann said a spirit has only 72 to 80 hours after its funeral service to go into the light. During this period the spirit can see the light, which she explained would gradually decrease in size until it closes for good. This does not, however, mean the spirit is trapped forever on the physical plane. According to Mary Ann, if the spirit visits another person's memorial service, that spirit can enter the light it finds there. She also claims to be able to summon a white light that spirits can use to move on -- a skill her grandmother taught her when she was a girl.
Later, Mary Ann shared a story about a dead DEA agent who visited her at home. She said the man's spirit asked her to call his partner and give him the location of his body. Mary Ann also recounted the time she found a large spirit snake in a woman's closet, as well as provided tips for people who want to communicate with spirits in dreams.
