I thought maybe in some cases, maybe I could get his opinion on purchases. Instead, I got something totally unexpected. I found an entire world operating on an unseen level; a society of spirits. Spirits were interacting with each other. Sometimes they would interact with the living, offering advice, hoping that they would hear. But for the most part, they were having conversations with each other.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What shocked me most was the people calling out to Prince. They would recognize who just walked in, some would casually greet him, others would call out to him and react in amazement.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, I was at my local mall having a look around Winners (the Canadian version of TJ Maxx or Marshalls). Normally I have my iPod with me, but I was charging it. The last time I was without it, Prince\u2019s <em>Kiss<\/em> came on the store radio, and on another occasion, <em>Raspberry Beret.<\/em> I find it rare to hear a Prince song in public. This time, <em>I Wanna Be Your Lover<\/em> came on. I quickly grabbed my iPad to record EVP. I don\u2019t know how he does it, but somehow he manages to get his songs played when I\u2019m around.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On the EVP, I found two of the funniest reactions to Prince being at Winners with me. You can hear a bit of I Wanna Be Your Lover in the background. (You may need headphones to hear them properly.
