its states in the bible that Jesus said I am no ghost, if the bibles even true. That would mean Jesus would have some knowledge of ghosts and is in a way saying they exist.

There are two possibilities you can interpret. Like you said, Jesus could be saying that he is not a ghost (but there are ghosts). Or he could just understand the folk lore of that time would make people assume he was merely a ghost (and not more importantly the risen savior).
The Bible in the Old Testament discusses telling the future and other witchcraft (especially with the story of King Saul and the witch of Endora). Therefore, supernatural powers cannot be eliminated from the Judeo-Christian world view.

The Bible does not say that after death we go immediately to either heaven or hell. It says that the breathe of life returns back to our Creator, and that the dead are asleep awaiting for the final trumpet, which; then the righteous will be awaken 1st, and will return back to heaven w/ our Saviour, along w/ the righteous who are alive at that time. Then after the 1000 years, the wicked will be awaken, and allowed to be deceived once again by the dragon (satan) and will think to do battle w/ Jesus and His city. Then the wicked will see their leader- the dragon, killed instantly, then they will be judged.

Well I dont necessarily believe in ghosts I do believe in demonic spirits. The bible says that we go to heaven or hell immediately after death. It doesnt say our spirits linger around waiting for somthing. So what you see, I think can be a demon. Hey they dont always have to be mean ya know.

Interesting point.
Look when Jesus was on the mountain and John and Peter saw him with Moses and Elijah.
Also, I've seen ghosts.....I have my own idea's of who and what they were. E-mail me if you are interested.

This is perverse logic.
Jesus says Ghosts may or may not exist, but if they do I am not one of them .

The word used in the original Greek is actually not "Ghost." It is pneuma which means something more like 'spirit.'

I do not believe in ghosts, and I have no idea where you got the verse that states 'I am no ghost'.
Please append that to your question.
