In religion, folklore, and mythology a demon (or daemon, dæmon, or even daimon) is a supernatural being that has generally been described as a malevolent spirit, and in Christian terms is the opposite of an Angel. A demon is frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled.
A ghost is usually defined as the apparition of a deceased person which frequently carries the deceased person's likeness and is experienced in association with the person's former habitats. The word "ghost" may also refer to the spirit or soul of a deceased person, or to any spirit or demon. Ghosts are often associated with haunting,
ghosts wont bother you, unless u bother them, but demons are satans woreshippers and they posess our bodies, ever watched the exorcist or the exorcism of emily rose?
both are based on true events

there is no such thing as demons in the spiritual sense. the type of thing you mean is what we who work for spirit call negative spirit, i think what you are talking about when you say demons come when there is lots of fighting is a negative energy manifestation, which are pretty hard to get rid of completely.

A demon is frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled. The "good" demon in recent use is largely a literary device (e.g., Maxwell's demon), though references to good demons can be found in Hesiod and Shakespeare. In common language, to "demonize" a person means to characterize or portay them as evil, or as the source of evil.

I don't think either exist except in our own sometimes childish minds!
Ghosts > I cannot understand why people should fear someone that would not have hurt them when alive or even know they existed! Demons > How can something believed to be on another plane of existence physically hurt anyone.
For me there has never been any 'real' proof that they exist and I don't believe anyone could be an 'expert' on such a varied phenomenon! You might as well say you know a fairy expert or goblin expert!!

i always believed demons were like humans but in a different physical state they only appear during temptations and ofter follow the person around whilst ghosts are trapped spirits of the deceased, due to them having " un finished business"

Nah - ghosts and demons are not literally real. But demons is a good word to mean those unresolved emotional issues rolling around in each of our cellars - old guilts, old fears, stuff like that. No one thinks there are actual demons running around, like in the cartoons, red with their pitchforks, but it is a good way to refer to those personal demons we all have.

it's like ying and yang, good and bad, there are spiritual entities beyond our realm of existence, some of them come to our realm for God knows what.Ghosts and Demons are the same, the entities in the other realm are same like humans, different races , attitudes etc etc, demons are generally knows as those beings who tend to get physical with mankind, while ghosts only try to scare mankind away from their place of stay or the sort.
