NO.  The dead can not do anything.\n\nWhere are the dead?\n\nGen. 3:19: “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”\n\nEccl. 9:10: “All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [“the grave,” KJ, Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV], the place to which you are going.”\n\nWhat is the condition of the dead?\n\nEccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”\n\nPs. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.”\n\nJohn 11:11-14: “‘Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.’ . . . Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’” (Also Psalm 13:3)\n\nIs there some part of man that lives on when the body dies?\n\nEzek. 18:4: “The soul [“soul,” RS, NE, KJ, Dy, Kx; “man,” JB; “person,” TEV] that is sinning—it itself will die.”\n\nIsa. 53:12: “He poured out his soul [“soul,” RS, KJ, Dy; “life,” TEV; “himself,” JB, Kx, NAB] to the very death.” (Compare Matthew 26:38.)\n\nSee also the main headings “Soul” and “Spirit.”\n\nAre the dead in any way able to help or to harm the living?\n\nEccl. 9:6: “Their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.”\n\nIsa. 26:14: “They are dead; they will not live. Impotent in death, they will not rise up.”\n\nNow there are demons and that's something else.

Well, I have had ghosts in my house - so yeah I do believe you - and seriously, I thought I was losing my mind about the whole thing cause I tried not to believe it myself...  Anyway, its kinda retarded, but like they used to keep me up all night at times until well, I got married - I think my wife scared the ghosts away - no no in all seriousness, from all the research I have done, I have found that the supernatural like quiet secluded places and they dont go to places where there is a lot of people around - I dont know what your situation is though, do you live alone? Contact me if you need more advice:\ntungi@yahoo.com

This is a very good question. Ghost are imaginary, if you keep this in mind you will understand most of the contenent. Ghost are just your believe. If you believe ghost exist there will be ghost, but if you don't there will not be anything such as that. If you think there is ghost ther is no way that you are going to free your seld from seeing ghosts, if you see them or feel them. Some people just act as they don't believe of ghost or as if they are not scare about any topic related to them and that is not true. It is very hard put it out of your mind if a ghost exists, it as if a smoker tries to quit smoking. If you think ghosts are real then try to talk to them, have courage and free your self from these nnightmares, but believe the more you believe ghost can hurt and can be power the more power you are giving them, and you may be scared a lot. If you just drop the whole thing that there is a ghost may be it will make you stop believe in it. Do not believe that if you satnd by the god's cross it is going to protect you, but it will because it is all in your imagination. These unreal things are just imaginations. Always try to imagine that nothing will happen to you. If someone tells you that there is a ghost in the building or anywhere do not lett that affect you because that small thing could turn out into a big scary thing therefore stop believing in these thing, and stop watching horror movies which expand your imagination about how ghosts are dangerous, basically they are your own created imaginations you start believing are real because of your feelings.\n\nI hope this helps a lot, because I want to help people... \n\n\n                                             Thanks for reading,\n                                                  Dr. R.

People who say there are no ghosts generally are not Christians or they haven't paid real close to the teachings of the bible. there is a spiritual warfare going on at all times on this earth. \nThere are no ghosts per say but instead demons who take on the image of people in order to confuse and lead away people. when we die we sleep and wait for the end times for when Christ comes back. we do not float around and haunt things. \nwhat you need to do is walk around the house and say "In the name of Christ I command you to leave".  also do alot of praying. if this does not work then contact a parapsychologist who studies and investigates the paranormal. usually these people will not charge nothing and be happy to investigate!

This world is is full of things that are unexplainable that even the wisest man cannot explain. We might believe on some other things that might exist or not, but it all depend with us. As for the ghost, there might be such thing that exist that we dont know, however everything depend on what we believe. But I think we should trust more on our self extinct...

I dont beleive in "ghosts," per se, butI do believe that God and/or Satan can send "spirit-things" lol to Earth. I know that doesn't make much sense, its hard to explain.

Hi Tammy, Yes I believe in Ghosts and the paranormal.  I belong to two groups here in wiscinsin, although there is not very much activity up north  where I am.  Foolish of people to think that we alone walk this earth. I wish more people could believe, then maybe our ghostly friends would apear more often and also find resolution in why they are here.

Ghosts and spirits exist.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  The Holy Spirit is one.  Angels and demons are others.  There are reports, within the Church, of spirits and ghosts that are true (at least validated by the Church).  We call these miraculous apparitions.\nIf you are in touch with them, cool.  Use your gift for good.\nAnd no, you are not crazy.

Oh' yes there are, if not ghost, then there must be a lot of bad spirits around.\nYou probably can't see them, but they are everywhere at every house, including yours.\nIf you want to see them I always can tell you how.\nBut if you do, just don't go fooling around with them, as the minute they notice you are seeing them, they all will be asking you to accept them in your body.\nSo pretend as usual not able to see them, if by mistake they talk to you, with a sarcastic voice, just keep cool as nothing is happening. OK.

I beleive in the unseen. Have your ever heard of the Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, Spirit of God. There a supernatural forces that govern our very natural realm. God is very real, so is the Devil. Than there are angels, and demons. \nI found out by reading my bible and becoming a born again christian. Read the gospel of John if you are intersted.

1) It could be demons, because scripture is obvious that they do interfere in human events. One might ask why demons would go around making strange noises, etc.... Well, my mom personally watches ghost channels on tv and I've seen how its turned her against Christianity, so if the demons want to turn people away from God, apparently they do a good job acting as ghosts. Naturally when you think of demon you might think of some horned beast that wants to go around killing people, but that is not their mission; their mission is deception, and ghosts apparently do deceive people away from God.\n\n2) It COULD (in at least some instances) be your eyes or your mind playing tricks with you.

I do believe in ghost cuz they often come to my bedroom\nbut for aliens I'm sorry I don't believe in such creatures . As you know vampire and mummy are also ghost so I also believe that they are exist. There are another world out there and we never know what is inside that world. \nThere's Heaven and Hell, it's a place for us when we die. But ghost they cannot go to that place becuz they are not finish their business when they are still alive so they have reimburse it by being a ghost. After thay had finish then they might go to heaven or hell.

Ghosts and the paranormal?
1045290
Yes, there are ghosts- but we don't really know what ghosts are, that's the problem.\nAs I see it there are 3 kinds of ghosts-\n1. Spirit of the dead trapped here- classic ghost\n2. Psychic residue from traumatic event - this ghost is like a tape loop that plays over and over\n3. Window in time where we can see the past or future.\nThere is also poltergeist activity, which is thought to be the \nuncontrolled emotional energy of a young girl in the vicinity, and is not really a ghost.\nI don't get faced with ghosts all that often but I just talk to them, as if there were a friend standing next to me instead of just a cold spot in the empty air.\n ADDED:\nIt runs in my family, my mother and grandmother had great intuition...\n\nI've noticed in studying near-death experiences that people see what they expect to see-if they are religious they see angels, if not they see the earth spirit in some sense...\nand many see loved ones who have died previously (even if the near-death person didn't know that person was dead). What I'm trying to say is that some very confused dying people may not\nrealize they are dead, or they resist dying so strongly that they get trapped here. This is considered the "classic ghost", and I think this is actually very rare.\n\nI think the more common ghost is the "residual emotion" ghost. This ghost has no consciousness, it is just a energetic replaying of the traumatic event again and again. While these can be truly scary, I think they fade eventually with enough time and work.\n\nI think ghost-ness could happen to anyone on the wrong day. Faith won't save you, neither will science. The classic ghost often just needs help to realize they are dead and move on, or some are doing something they consider to be very important amd are not ready to move on. Lots of classic ghosts haunt places they lived, and they stay to maybe to warn others or to keep an eye on  their beloved home.\n\nThe residual ghost is not an entire soul, just a soul fragment or echo, usually caused by a violent death. So my local hanged-man ghost is just a recording of what happened, that soul  is not there any longer but the house is still badly haunted by the negative emotions set loose there.\n\nI actually think the reading of the Tibetan Book of the Dead is very powerful, it's a guidebook on how to release your hold on the dying body and merge with the universe. It's read during dying, and for several hours afterwards as the soul lets go and travels to its rightful place.\n\nI've learned some protections through my own shamanic practice, and I'm learning more through my friend's new learning set on Witchcraft (white, by the way). She is actually much more religious than I am, my friend the witch, and I am expecting to learn the Sephiroth and a bunch of other stuff...\nUh, get on with it already- Okay... For instance, I am blessing graveyards in my area right now.I take some time in my car to envision my helping spirits and to see myself putting on a protective cloak. Then I walk around the property, and on all its roads. Along the way if I feel anything I welcome it and I breathe it in. Then I get in my car, I go home,and I sit and meditate and feel everything I picked up breathed out and envision it going into the ground to be absorbed by the planet. Then I see myself taking off my cloak.\n\nAnything else? I have felt dangerous things, I have sometimes avoided these things or gone forward to tell them they should tell me what they are. I know the website of an experienced ghost hunter where she warns of certain types of hauntings as being, she feels, non-human and very dangerous. I haven't had that feeling but I do not normally go wandering graveyards at night with instruments and cameras.Maybe I should, it might be fun. They do a protective prayer before they enter and when they leave.\n\nI have a lot of theories but of course we only have so much proof-\nThere a

wow that is some story.  but i dont believe in spirits ( ghosts ). i think those are imaginary and in your head. now about that guy who slept in the room after there was a murder in there, i cant explain that. he might believe in ghosts and maybe had it in his head that there was something wrong. \nbut i dont believe in ghosts and these stories that people tell about ghosts and spirits are like made up stories from their heads or minds i should say.\ni am a christian and i dont believe that after someone dies that it could be possible for their spirit to stay on earth and haunt others. i believe that either your spirit goes to Heaven or Hell and your body stay on earth.\ni do believe in Angels. we all have a gaurdian angel that is always around us.\ni really dont know what to say about your story. i think it sounds freaky in someway and also made up. not by you, but maybe by the guy who slept in that bed after the murder.\nwho knows.

I know you may not want to believe it, but there are evil spirits that can take posession of people. I have seen it. And I would encourage you not to be too confident about your opinions on this. There is more out there than you may have encountered, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
