Ex Boyfriend's Brother is With Me

I briefly dated a guy. His deceased brother has been trying to communicate with me since the first time I ever visited the ex's house. I've been trying to ignore the brother, but it got to the point to which I was calling people the deceased brother's name (my ex didn't tell me his name, I just knew it.)

Fast forward to today, the deceased brother's name jumped at me as soon as I thought of my ex. I text the ex and asked if he knew a Mike. The ex freaked. Anyway, I now feel the deceased brother is hanging around and is happy that I let him in. I'm not channeling in any messages from the deceased brother. He's quiet.

May sound weird but I feel as if he's suppose to be by my side. His energy is "just chilling" along side of me.

Has anyone encountered this?

Update: I spoke with Mike. It got me emotional. I contacted my ex and explained that his brother wants to speak with him (I probably said that so wrong 😄🤦🏿‍♀️). We set a time to speak and it went better than I expected. I was so nervous.
