Are ghosts and spirits that roam the earth really that of the dead?

Question

Is it true that these guys are jealous of human beings because they are alive and want to live again or that they regret ever having died?

Answer 1

For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.

Answer 2

Ghosts are the spirits of dead people who have not yet accepted that they are dead. I don't think it is jealousy of the living, as that would imply that they are aware that they are dead. I have never heard a story of ghosts being harmful, except to the extent people are frightened of seeing them because it shakes their assumption that there is no such thing.

Spirits otherwise, ones that are not ghosts, may be either malevolent or benevolent. They can only do you harm if you let them, by taking up bad attitudes or believing you must obey them to do something wrong. Geraldine's old excuse about "The Devil made me do it" was just an excuse. You are responsible for your actions, no matter who whispers in your ear. Geraldine was responsible for telling that old Devil "No! I will NOT buy that new dress!"

Answer 3

Well, that's the idea. Many stories, from Hamlet onward, say that real ghosts are omens foreshadowing future events. Some are jealous, and many are chaotic and cruel.

Only in the Victorian period did ghosts develop the romanticized notions that we have for them today.

But ghosts are psychological in origin. Humans want to believe that people continue after death, and retain the emotional qualities that we found in them. That's simply not the case, and there is no evidence for life after death.

Answer 4

no
most ghost sightings are only residual energy
that is like a lingering energy , a memory
they aren't conscious , they are trapped or wandering

but spirit on the other hand ( different from ghosts ) may visit if they wish , they aren't held here and are free to go

Answer 5

Some say yes, some say no, some say what spirits and ghosts...

This is a question only you can answer for yourself.. What do you believe, what I or anyone else believes doesn't matter..

Answer 6

No dead people roaming.

And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Answer 7

The devil would want you to believe they are of real ppl who lived,but in the bible,it says that Satan & his imps can change into whatever form they choose,even angels of light,to draw you away from the truth of God.

Answer 8

Yes they are spirits and usually they have unfinished business or do not know that they are dead.

Answer 9

There is only one way to get rid of them.
Buy a gun, find a quiet room.....
