As far as mentioning
ghosts in the form of which we speak of here at pkei.net, the Bible
plainly states that the spirit world is teeming with life. God Himself
of course is Spirit. The Holy Spirit of God (called the "Holy
Ghost" in earlier translations of the Bible) is Spirit. God also
created countless billions of angels, the majority of whom remained
obedient to God, but there are also angels who rebelled and sinned,
known now as demons (or "devils" in older translations).
The chief among these is Satan himself.
But what are "ghosts"? Are they angels of some sort? Or
are they spirits of humans who have died?There is only one recorded
incident in the Scriptures of the spirit of a dead human seeming to
appear to someone, that of Samuel appearing to Saul. It's important
to note that, if it was somehow actually the spirit of Samuel, as
it seems to have been, the rare incident was to deliver a Godly message,
not to scare or haunt anyone.
1 Samuel 28:13-20
It's also very important to note that Saul used a witch (1 Samuel
28:7) to consult that spirit, something that God commands never to
do.
As per the Bible, Demons are fallen angels who have become warped
in thought and behavior. The very small number of "unexplainable"
incidents (keeping in mind that most sightings, say 75% are misinterpretations,
deliberate fabrications, or delusions by the mentally ill or those
impaired by alcohol or drugs) are real Ghost/Demons. And they are
nothing to worry about. I guess it may come down to your religion.
I personally dont believe in demonic posession, but I do feel, and
sense things from time to time when I'm in a house, or a know haunted
area. This could be my imagination.......but the pictures don't lie.
