Usually what has happened is that they are spiritually sleepwalking. They are still conscious of the physical plane and they notice that something is different, but they can’t quite figure it out. On a spiritual plane it appears that they are sleepwalking. They can sleepwalk for what may appear to be a very long time to you, in the form of earthbound spirits or ghosts or what-have-you. But after a while they’ll wake up and realize that they are on the spiritual plane and they have other things to go on to.
