Why does a dead Christian Shephard turn up on the Island? Because he's a ghost? That betrays the mystery of his missing body, and his apparent motives behind his actions.<br /><br />(We have now further information that suggests Nameless, or Nemesis, or MIB (however you define him) may be the embodiment of these dead people.)<br /><br />But what of 'the whispers'? Well, post-Season 5, the idea of them being audible deceased becomes even more curious. Consider Miles' interactions with the dead. He can use the body to commnicate what the dead person KNEW, but he's fully of the belief that dead is dead and there's no coming back. That, I think, is the closest we're getting to an answer here. That the Island somehow amplifies the gift Miles possesses naturally and allows other to share the same insight. (Potentially as a result of the fact Miles was born on the Island it was something he took away with him.)<br /><br />That's my closest thing to an answer right now. . . Probably I should put it into a post!AngeloComethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303083576143373383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-22967365547730417662009-07-17T15:10:22.119+01:002009-07-17T15:10:22.119+01:00I've thought from the beginning that the Whisp...I've thought from the beginning that the Whispers were the voices of the dead. Why does the word "ghost" bother you so much? It means the illusion of a dead person, an other-worldly noncorporeal aura. That's just what you were describing, no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-11626259359208713042009-01-13T20:37:00.000+00:002009-01-13T20:37:00.000+00:00was it confirmed that yemis brother was the smoke ...was it confirmed that yemis brother was the smoke monster. you know right before yemi was killedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-72135983487921357852008-08-05T12:27:00.000+01:002008-08-05T12:27:00.000+01:00I think this is a great post.

The Whispers certainly are a strange entity and I think you may be on the right track.<BR/><BR/>When Walt appeared to Shannon he spoke to her backwards - it'd be interesting to see if this is in someway connected to the whispers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
