HOW DO PEOPLE BECOME GHOSTS WHEN THEY DIE AND WHY DON'T THEY PASS ON TO THE AFTERLIFE?a?

Question

When a person dies, how come they might become a ghost instead of going to heaven or hell like anybody else?

Answer 1

The usual cause of a haunting is the result of a tragic death -- murder, violent accident, or suicide. Suicide in particular tends to lead to a spirit remaining trapped at the place where they took their own life, as if they're stuck in guilt or remorse. In the case of murder, the spirit may be looking for the killer who ended their own life, or, like the accident victim, they may simply be confused and not realize that they're dead.

There are also "residual hauntings," which seem to be nothing more than a series of sounds or visual impressions that play themselves over and over again like a video of an event. And finally, there are malicious 'hauntings' which seem to be the work of a non-human spiritual entity such as a demon or elemental. These are the ones that terrorize or try to physically harm living people.

There's a theory among some Catholic believers that God may be allowing the suicide to complete their purgatory on earth, as if to show others that problems aren't solved by taking one's own life. Protestants often think that a ghost is a demon impersonating a deceased individual. And many pagans and Wiccans have written that the soul is confused by its violent exit and simply can't understand what's happened to it.

Which of these theories is correct -- if any -- is anybody's guess. I tend to go with the confused and lost soul idea for the average haunting. It just makes the most sense.

I agree with wolfeblayde, she's right.
The first answer is totally wrong! I used to live in a house, old farm house and it was haunted by more than one ghost and spirit. Some appeared like moving figures but smoke-like, others looked just as real and you and I. It's because they left unfinished business here on Mother Earth, they want to finish things, tell people things, sometimes even about they're own deaths. Some refuse to leave because they cannot accept the fact that they died. Some, maybe just revenge? Maybe so. But all I know is, I was the last grandchild my grandmother saw the night before she passed, the only one who went into her hospital room after she passed, with my aunt. That same night I was home in my bedroom, and I felt someone standing behind me, I felt her presense, I heard her breathing, I felt the cool air going down the back of my neck, she was there. Also, tje same year at Christmas, packages were moving under the tree. She was the glue that held our family together, she was in desperation to keep us together. After she passed, the family fell apart, grandfather was convicted of some nasty crimes. Poor grandma, for the life she must have really lived being with him. She didn't want to leave us.

Answer 3

If you think in God, then you definately’ll must think in ghosts too. God and Ghosts are close to identical besides the truth that God is related to all well matters and ghost is related to dangerous matters. All different parameters for setting up existance of God is similarly relevant for Ghosts. The series of parties after dying might be as below:- (a) Death (b) Award of judgement (whether or not an character must cross to Heaven or Hell) (c) Actually reporting to Heaven or Hell (Execution of judgement) It is the transition interval from degree (a) to (c), whilst an character is Ghost.

Answer 4

People don't see ghosts, they see demons. Demons can make themselves look like anything, even people who died.
