My sister in law, who is a hospice nurse, has experienced some pretty freaky things. She has been in the room with many people when they passed away and has some stories that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
I've heard these kinds of stories at a personal level too! One common this is of "ghost nurses" who appear in clothing that looks very out-dated. These nurses seem to be true flesh and blood nurses that actually help lift people, get them a cup of water, etc. But when the patient asks another nurse the next day about the night nurse named "Sadie" or whatever.. they are informed no such person works there.

Those are some creepy stories, Jiz -- thanks for sharing. I'm agnostic so Paul probably thinks of me as being an atheist who lacks commitment, but I don't see it that way. There's a lot of stuff I know I don't know, and there's a lot of stuff I don't think any human being on this planet knows. Why do I need to make my mind up about the most basic questions of existence based on insufficient evidence? So I'm open-minded about ghosts and have always loved ghost stories, whether ostensibly true or fictional.
I can't say I've had any first-hand encounters with the phantasmal, though. The closest I've come to anything like that happened while I was grieving after the death of a beloved cat.
I can't say I feel confident that I'll ever see my cat again, but if I do that's going to be one awesome death perk.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as well. I'm neither atheist or religious. I try to keep an open mind to things because my belief is no one living really knows for certain today. Some ancient religions are really interesting to me.. as well as modern science. I think there are probably more than one "form" of these energy forms or wtf ever they are. Maybe some are just "event imprints" of some sort. Who knows. I guess something like my experience with the voice could be considered to some as "demonic" as the thing damn near perfectly mimic'd my girlfriend's mom's voice.
Strange you mention the dream about your cat. So, since my grandfather died when I was in my early 20s, I'd often have dreams for years where I'm talking to him in the driveway or bedroom of his old house (usually the only 2 places you'd find him aside from the local V.F.W. building). Perhaps a few years before my grandmother died, they just stopped.
Also, when my mother died a couple of years ago.. the night of a bunch of my relatives were all sitting somber staring at a table with a couple of cell phones on it. Crying, etc. Suddenly a cell phone leaps about 3 feet directly into the air, flips, and slaps back down on the table! This lightened up the mood a lot as they joked that mom was a witch (I can explain that later lol) and was trying to tell them to get out of their depressive funk. I was not there that night as it was 4 hours away and needed to feed peoples pets and such here. However, about exactly 1 week later much like your dream of the cat:
I have a dream that I'm in standing in the kitchen of my old house. My mom is standing by the stove, but not cooking. She's just standing there smiling. I am a frequent lucid dreamer (ie; I can usually tell I'm dreaming) but this was one of those where I didn't completely feel like I was in a dream but it made no sense for her to be there, or for me to be in that old house for that matter. She holds out her hands and I feel really, really strange. I just keep looking at her in disbelief. She smiles and says something like "Come here, son." and I start breaking down. Then she starts crying too. "I can't." I say. "Yes you can!" she replies, looking more emotional. So I reach out and grab her hands. I can feel them and she smiles at me. The dream fades out. I don't recall ever dreaming about her since and if I did it certainly wasn't anything I'd remember like that.

Man that's SOOOoo cool! I know it's freaky and everything, but to experience something that hardly anyone else does is worth the freakout. Maybe you're like Whoopie Goldberg in that movie, where everyone comes around to interact with you because you can sense them or something.
ROFL yeah let's end with this instead of that hard-to-type dream. You know, it's odd but I really felt that way after the VHS tape event. Like "Wow, holy shit, I got to experience a ghost or something!" The feeling you get though when it initially happens is hard to describe. It's like your brain goes into can-not-compute mode and momentarily you are in kind of a state of shock and disbelief. As a kid I played with Quija boards, TABOO (A tarot card reading game program for NES), and read a lot of books on the subject but I do not consider myself a psychic or whatever. If I were to believe in such a thing, I think females would make much better psychics because by nature they just more sensitive to things. When I was younger I used to get extremely vivid and correct deja vu dreams about the most mundane of things. Getting off a bus into a parking lot I only visited once in my life, cleaning spilled milk in a certain corner of a room, etc. Not any more. I do still vividly dream and lucid dream though.. and I usually remember every minute of them. It's rare that I talk to any other adult that can even remember their dreams which is kinda sad.
In my waking life I sometimes "detect" something. Like walking into an empty room or area and getting a terrible sense of dread, sadness or uneasiness. Or walking down a hallway you've been down many times but one time you have a strong sense of someone watching you but there's no one there. I don't know what to make of any this and actually think that's common.. even with adults. Perhaps just internal turmoil buried in the subconscious.
