Do you seriously believe that there is a "death spirit" that observes and eventually collects our souls after we die?
If you actually believe that there is an angel of death, what do you think it looks like? Is it male or female in appearance or does it appear, to you, non-human.
Sound off about anything you feel that could be integral to this question.

Of course I don’t. The idea itself is interesting however. I’m a big fan of books where a personification of death has a part in things, like in Discworld or On a Pale Horse.
A system of death where death itself can think and act independently is obviously flawed however.
No, I don’t believe that.
I don’t believe in that.. but I suppose anything’s possible after you die. haha.
It’s a charming concept.
Makes me think of an old Twilight Zone episode.“Nothing in the Dark”
with an early role for Robert Redford [the young cop]
Watch it online through many avenues:
one is amazon.com
What, you mean like a morbid toilet attendant? Nah, what a shit gig that would be.
I know there is.
Her name is Kathryn Janeway.
Don’t beleive there is such a “spirit.”
It’s the thing from Final Destination.
I think it’d be fairly neat to meet some sort of grim reaper or psychopomp upon dying, but I’m not holding my breath.
No. I believe our energy evaporates back into the cosmos, as everything is energy.
That’s not something I have ever really considered so I guess I don’ believe it.
My Aunt works for the elderly as a carer and wheneve someone passes away she always opens a window so the soul can be free. I like that way of thinking better than an angel of death. That just sounds too grim reaper like to me.
Ingman Bergman thought it was a guy in a black cloak and hood who carried a scythe.
Woody Allen thought it was a guy in a similar outfit who liked to play gin rummy, just to make things interesting.
@Ucme: Oh, mar, you are right. Can I, like so many others here, blame it on a typo?
@Gailcalled Seems as good a reason as any.
@Ucme; And even I know alost that no one, even a Swede, would name a child Ingman Bergman.
Ingrid yes, Ingman knot sew much.
edit; “that almost” and not “alost that”.
With absolute certainty, I blame all my typos on my keyboard. (And if it keeps it up, I’m gonna finally let it meet my Louisville Slugger. Yep.)
No but I do believe somebody (a spirit of a deceased loved one or another afterlife entity) comes for us upon the transformation called death.
I’ll take Robert Redford’s young cop, he was very charming and even let her help him, bandaging him up. Just didn’t have any reflection in the mirror, tha’s all. But she got on the bus with him anyway.
