Default Are ghosts real?

Hi everyone!
My brother and I watched this show the other day, it was called "Ghost Hunters". It is about a team of people that go around investigating different places that claim to be haunted. Some of the evidence that they find is very convincing. Are ghost really real? And if so, what are they? Are they like demons? Or are they just some of the usaved victims of hell, that come to 'live' among us? Also if there is any verses on ghosts, could you let me know? Thanks so much!

First off.. anyones ideas on what they are, will always be open to debate as for the most part people are just guessing, its not like someone has become a ghost and then come back and said ok I was a Ghost.. what you see is ghosts

Also it will vary depending on your current Beliefs

Some religions call them demons
Some religions call them lost spirits
Some folk call them people stuck between here and there
Some call them a fabrication of a persons imagination

Honestly I dont think it matters what they are...

Default personal experience

As a child, my family experienced what some would call a ghost.
There were two phenonena that gave us reason for believing this.

1. At random infrequent intervals, a noise would come from the stairs going to the second floor. It sounded plainly and clearly like someone walking up (never down) the stairs. As soon as someone went to look, it stopped. This was not just creaking, but actual footfalls and associated creaking when appropriate.

2. Less frequently and more disturbing was a quick back and forth turning of the upstairs door knobs. It was a definite rattling noise, not the sound of a partially open door being sucked closed by a draft. It was like what one would expect to hear if someone was going to open a door and discovered it to be locked. I remember it happening once and I ran and opened the door and looked out and felt it was impossible for someone to have snuck away.

My father travelled frequently in his work and seldom was home. He laughed it off and explained that the house was settling and drafts were affecting the doors. He never heard any of the phenomena himself.
One day, my mother had us all outside playing and she was on our neighbors porch when my father came out of the house counting heads. He heard the noise himself issueing from the stairs. That was all he talked about that night, and he did all sorts of investigation into what could possibly be the cause. Still unconvinced, he forgot about it for a while, and we had grown used to it and were no longer spooked by it.
Long story short, it happened once more to my father when he was home alone. We moved shortly after that, and he has changed his mind about ghosts.

Interestingly, I worked with a man who had recently bought a home. When he told me where, I laughed. It was the same house. I hadn't told him exactly what our experience was, but I asked him if anything weird ever happens there. He said the only weird thing that happens is he keeps finding windows open slightly, allowing cold air in. He thinks it may be his wife, but she denies it. He hasn't heard anything as far as I know, and the window thing may be totally unrelated. He spends many hours in his basement at night when the rest of the house is sleeping as he set up a computer lab down there. I no longer work with him, so I do not know any more about his experience. I should probably stop in where we worked together and find out more.

I have no idea what the cause was, if it was a ghost or some unexplainable phenomena. No one ever saw anything. No disembodied voices. Just a very unusal experience that I cannot explain.

Blessings

Very difficult but if you can imagine that everything is formed from the radiations of God, we are on the gross material level, one of the lowest in Creation, when we leave our earthly body behind we are just in another body formed from a different radiation, many people who leave the earth, are tied to the earthly level by propensities or other reasons, also some do not recognize their transition, passing over to another level, also many become earth bound, and I believe can wander for many years without recognition of this!

I believe that’ some can after death draw on radiations of others, and materialize back to people here still, and some can make themselves know by drawing strength of others and moving things.
I have lived in such a house, in Winslow just out side of Manchester, it was by an Air force camp, and I was told it was haunted in many of the property’s there.
There is a lot of work going on at the moment by a group of people who have the means to materialize people in their lab now, I have permission to re-produce their work on DVD and distribute their findings, which I do!

If you wish for a massive insight I would recommend the book “A Wanderer in The Spirit lands” a person who died came back through a medium to warn us of the dangers, when we pass over, if we lived as he did, and to avoid us suffering as he had to.
If you e mail me I can let you have a attachment on computer format, and you can print it out to read, if you have a yearning to find out about the other levels, or ghost as they are called by many, this is the book!

Peace and Light

Peter

Ghosts are unrest souls/spirits trying to manifest themselves to be seen by humans. They do not necessarily manifest them own images, they can manifest themselves as others as well. That is, when you see the ghost of your passed-away friend, it may not be your friend (and you pray he's not).

Those unrest souls are located in an adjacent spatial dimension close to earth, they are thus said to be dwelling on earth, as part of the inhabitants of the earth.

Revelation 6:9-10
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"


The devils are also located in that dimension, they are said to be dwelling on earth biting the dust. And when they are viewed from a distance far away from earth, they look like worms.

Mark 9:48
where " 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'


We don't normally see them because they don't usually manifest themselves to be visible to us. And we can see them usually when they manifest themselves as "ghosts" and only at the time when our health condition is not good enough, such as too tired, sick, lacking sleep and etc. Because under such unhealthy conditions, our own spirits/souls are not well contained inside our bodies that a supernatural encounter can thus be established. On the other hand, well trained psychics and those few who were born so can also "see" those "ghosts", as their spirits/souls can go abit off of their bodies to "see" them.

Even when you "see" them, it doesn't mean you can talk to them. Your souls/spirits need to go far off your bodies in order to talk to them. I will tell you how to talk to them when your bodies can go that far off your bodies, ok?


By Law, they are not allowed to actively intervene into our daily lives, so you can sue them when you see them and find them annoying and disturbing. As a result, the most efficient way to drive them away is to make them realize that they are no longer part of this realm and it's against Law that they make themselves visible to us.

An exception is that, never ever "invite" them into our realm, as in that case it's you who shall be sued, not only them. That said, you put yourselves into great risk if you are fond of the "inviting" media such as demonic board games and etc. It's you who initiated the invitation, they may thus refuse to leave until you are sued together with them while you know that this (lawsuit) will not occur in our earthly time. So be extremely careful not to mistakenly trigger any "inviting" process. That also partly explains why sometimes exorcism is a hard job to do.

Moreover, they can do nothing about true Christians, as true Christians are blessed and are authorized to directly drive them away. When you say "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ..." and they are gone, in case and by accidents that you "see" them.
