I have an online friendship with a Mormon. He knows I'm an atheist but he told me he had a personal experience with a shining spirit that answered questions and did so in the presence of several witnesses. His story actually parallels a story of Joseph Smith proving the gold plates existed...

Let's just suppose, for the sake of argument, that spirits are real and that they are contactable via psychics. What would you ask? I'm curious as to what sort of burning questions people might have. Be it questions pertaining to life in the here-and-now, reassurance from a deceased loved one...
