He proceeded to show me videos on his laptop of him speaking to the spirits and asking them to come back to life. He did tell me there was death on the plane but reassured me that it wasn't me!?!!

Those are the people I LIKE to talk to when I have nothing better to do. After the "I bring people back from the dead" remark I would have probably followed up with a very friendly "Wow. That's cool. I'm an underwater wood welder on oil rigs."
