What do you believe about ghosts?

Question

I think they are all demons. Do you believe they are the living dead? Spirits? Demons? None of those?

I have soooo many true demon stories to tell you. And ANYONE, you're free to tell stories.

One night, two girls that my friend knew were sleeping in the same bed. One woke up in the night and went to the window. Her friend was outside, but there were glowing red eyes on her! She saw that her friend was in bed though, so she screamed, and when her friend in bed woke up, the demon that impersonated her friend that was outside was gone.

A girl saw a demon outside of her house, and it was saying "Come to me!" or atleast it was mouthing it. She ran away. Later, with her friends, she saw it again. They ran away. The girl, who is now a woman, sees it every week. Whenever she sees it, she prays, and it melts away.

These are all completely true, and they all came from my friends. More will be added in a minute.

So say what you think, and give true stories NO FAKE STORIES Thanx

Once my friend's mom was down stairs doing chores yatta yatta, and heard a door slam. She went up stairs and tried to open the door, and it was locked. She went to the other room, which had blood all over the floor, so she ran down stairs and went into her car. She backed out, and saw a figure standing in that room.

Answer 1

I agree with you. They are demons because there is no "in-between" for us. It's either Heaven or Hell, therefore these "ghosts" must be here to deceive us into thinking that we don't have to move on. The concept of a ghost is very New Age and Pagan, and it's not biblical.

Answer 2

Ghosts are the spirits of people that have already lived and are now dead. Spirits are something else. They never were alive so they aren't dead.

What your friend is seeing isn't a demon, it's a spirit. Not all spirits are nice spirits.

As for prayer, it only does something because you believe in it. If I, as a Wiccan, were to perform a banishment spell, it would go away then as well.

If an atheist were to tell it to leave and never come back, it would do it as well.

It's the power of your belief that drives the spirit away, not the prayer itself.

Now, I've seen so many ghosts and spirits that to type it all would take many hours and much more space on the forum than I'm willing to devote. So instead, I'll simply tell you that I KNOW ghosts and spirits exist. I've experienced both the good and the bad of them.

I've learned not to be really afraid of them. They scare me at the moment it happens but, since I've gotten so used to it that I rarely react, they sometimes do things a little more drastic. I think they like the attention.

Though they've never hurt anyone. Most of what they do is make banging noises and move things.

Answer 3

No, not all ghosts are demons/evil spirits/whatever.

When I was a little girl, I used to see an Indian maiden and a wolf sitting on the fireplace. It is good luck and a blessing to find a maiden sitting at the hearth (fireplace) and the wolf is my spirit guardian.

Shortly after my grandfather passed away, I was in bed one night. He came into my room and went over to my sister's bed. He touched her head, then disappeared. If he was a demon, then why did he stay in the light the entire time he was there?

The morning after our golden retriever passed away, my dad was awaken by the sound of her running around downstairs. He raced downstairs to the laundry room (where they had placed her body b/c she died late at night) hoping to find her alive. She was still dead, but to this day he swears it was her racing around, telling him it was time to go busy (the word in our house meant for Nittany to go to the bathroom).

My mom is deaf/blind and does a lot of sewing. Often, she will be sowing and drop a needle. She tries to find it and then someone hands it to her. Then she realizes that no one else is home.

When I say NOT ALL, talk to anyone who has ever seen these eyes. I know they are real, they exist. They exist in the northwest corner of the master bedroom in my house. I have seen them, my sister, my cousin, my aunt. I don't have to see them to know that they are there. I can sense the unsettling spirit.

These are all true stories that have happened in my house back in Virginia. The eyes are evil, but that doesn't mean that all ghosts/spirits are evil.

Answer 4

I believe ghosts are as real as butter on bread.
I believe that people have encountered evil spirits, but I also think that not all are here to be evil, some are just lingering for unkown reasons, looking for peace or solutions. I dont think any ghost can hurt us, just scare the crap out of us. I believe I have seen presence of another life form, by flashing sparks from the side of my eyes, and once we moved from that house I never saw those sparks again. I definately believe.

Answer 5

Ghosts do exist and not all of them are evil...

One day when my grand-daughter was 10 months old, I picked her up from the babysitters. It was about 8pm and it was dark. I had her strapped into her carseat in the middle of the back seat. For some reason, she started crying and would not stop. I tried to soothe her by reaching my arm between the seats so she could feel my touch, but she still wouldn't stop. We were still a few miles from home, when she suddenly stopped crying and started to giggle. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw her looking to her right and "baby talking" to someone I could not see. I can't explain how I knew, but she was talking to her grandpa Brian (he passed away from a brain tumor when her mom was a baby) I just couldn't shake the feeling that he was sitting right beside Savannah comforting her. I even asked, "Brian are you really there or am I just watching too much of John Edward (physic)?"
With every fiber of my being, I know that Brian was in that car. He came to comfort our Savannah when he knew she needed him most. I still don't know why she was crying, but I know who helped her stop.

Answer 6

there is a serious difference between spirits and demons--and demons tend to seek out evil people--I have been working with spirits for over a decade now and had many wonderful things happen--they are not evil in the slightest, and I seriously doubt your stories. Spirits do not haunt people for no apparent reason, the people they haunt did something horrible to them in their life

Answer 7

I don't believe in ghosts. I believe that humans pass away, and go either to heaven or hell as they have chosen.

The bible says, to be absent from the body is to be present in the Lord.

Any thing that you are referring to are demons, that were cast out of heaven when Lucifer was cast out.

And I have no story, to give because I choose not to give testimony to them.

Answer 8

I think ghosts are physical manefestations of energy left behind when a living thing occopies a space. energy could be stored in stone or wood, it could even store enough energy of a being to show some forms of intelligence.

Answer 9

I believe that there are different types of ghost.

1. Someone that past suddenly that had unfinished business
2. Someone that has reached true enlightenment and are around to help guide family and friends.

Answer 10

I have no opinion on ghosts.

I answered to tell you how the mental image of buttering a kitten has me falling off my chair.

I'm sorry, I can't see the keyboard I am laughing so hard.

This is a grrrreat day here on Y!A.
