If you have had an experience of a loved one sending a message from the other side, you are not alone. Research has shown a surprisingly high percentage of people said they have experienced communication from a loved one who has passed on.

The Numbers Speak: Millions Believe in Afterlife Communication

A survey done in the 1990s showed more than 50 million Americans have reported some kind of communication from a loved one who has died. Utah is more religious than most states and so those numbers are even higher.

Studies done since then break it down even more. 39% of respondents said they had felt a feeling of the person or their presence. 14% said they saw or heard their loved one, while 2.7% said they actually touched them.
