The son of a dance teacher and an engineering drafter, Swayze grew up in Texas before moving to New York City for dance training at the prestigious Harkness Ballet and Joffrey schools. With his Texas twang, his finely chiselled bone structure and his polished dancing, Swayze brought an unusual combination of skills to the screen, earning him numerous Golden Globe nominations in the course of his career. Hours after his death, tributes from numerous Hollywood stars he encountered in the course of his career came pouring in.

The second part is the idea of black spirits who capture the souls of bad people to take to other side of the Afterlife, called Lower Astral, a place similar to Judeo-Christian Hell to punish and torture them. The third part is people, maybe friends and familiars, who wait to receive the recent dead to the Afterlife.
