I'm not sure if I believe yet... I think I would have to have a definitive experience in order to believe wholeheartedly. But I'm open to the possibility.

When my great-aunt was dying of cancer, my mom took a few months off work to take care of her. I guess she was really scared, had lots of doubts and worries, and really didn't want to die. One day my mom showed up at the hospital, and my great-aunt said "It's going to be Ok. I can't tell you why, but it's going to be Ok, and I know that." My mom asked her if she saw anything, and she just nodded and said "I'm going to a party."
I've had other relatives who said they saw things shortly before they died. One grandmother heard music, another saw and talked to her mother. I've had other relatives swear that they woke up to see someone standing over their bed.
My friend worked at a really old estate (that is now just used for historical tours and weddings and stuff)... sometimes doors would lock themselves, or beds would appear to be slept in even though they were just for display and she would be the only person there some days.

Until I see it myself, though... I will always think it's just a reaction of the body shutting down, or one of the other employees messed up the bed the night before, or there's something wrong with the locking mechanism (or the people are forgetful). But I'll never say it's not possible, and I love hearing stories about it.

Sex is like musical talent. Some guys just naturally have it, some don't. Some can be taught, some want to but will always be tone deaf, and some don't care to be. And some are like a genre of music that you can't stand; you listen because it's on and you can't change the station, but no matter how hard you try you just can't make yourself enjoy it.
