The family and friends of Jack Froese have been receiving mysterious posthumous e-mails from him.

Jack's friend Tim Hart was the first to receive one such message. He had been browsing his computer one night when an e-mail arrived that appeared to be from Jack's address. "I'm watching," the title read, inside was a message pertaining to a private joke between the two friends that could have only come from Jack. His cousin Jimmy McGraw also received a similar e-mail. "I'd like to say Jack sent it, just because I look at it as he's gone, but he's still trying to connect with me," he said. "Trying to tell me to move along, to feel better."

When Jack Froese, 32, died of a heart arrhythmia in June 2011, he left behind a number of grieving friends and family members. But the BBC reports that several mysterious posthumous emails from Froese's account have brought some happiness and closure to those who were closest to him.

The only problem I have with someone hacking the account is the personal "messages" sent. A random hacker would not have known what to say. Someone who knew all involved had to have been the one that hacked in or used his account with his password. Happens.

There is a app for that..... Come on man......We all know if a email came from a ghost it would not be seen.The letters would be so small they could only be seen by a big magnifying glass on the monitor or printed paper.....Than, a trained , and professional ghost hunter would be able to decipher what is said, after numerous filters, and enhancements, and than show it to the clients so they could now see what the little dots say....... This is called VSPF.........Very Small Print Phenomena I can't believe you have not heard of this........

It's not that hard to set up your email account to send automated emails in the future. Email marketers do it all the time. They will spend a day writing up a bunch of emails, set them to send at certain dates and then they have the rest of the week free to do other things. I can even do it with my blog. I write out the post, set the date that I want it to be posted and if I die between now and that date, people will think that I am "blogging from beyond the grave" if they are gullible enough. The fact that the email included a personal joke between he and his friend shows th... [More]
