Ghosts?

This is the usual idea of what a ghost looks like. I've seen real "GHOSTS" before (note my quotations). They don't look like this. This has been a topic in my life for years, but I do not believe in ghosts in the sense that most do. If I were to say "I saw a ghost in my house" most people would say it was a dead person in my house, haunting it. I've come to the conclusion that those people are wrong. Yes, I said wrong. The word ghost has long been used to describe the dead walking the earth : the soul of a dead person, a disembodied spirit imagined,usually as a vague, shadowy or evanescent form, as wandering among or haunting living persons:
Man kind has always had a fear and or, fixation with ghosts and other unexplained mysteries. One of the only accounts of a so called, "ghost" in the Bible is when Saul (1st King of Israel) visited an exiled witch/fortune teller/medium. He asked her to contact the deceased Samuel for him. She obliged and brought him to Saul. This account has been debated in many ways. A lot of Christians say he wasn't really talking to Samuel, that the witch tricked him, or that it was a demon, and others that it was Samuel. I am one of the latter who believes this WAS Samuel. The Bible said it was him and that's all I have to go on, however, God also warned many times in the Bible not to talk to or try and contact the dead and I think there was a reason. By contacting the dead you disrupt what God has set in place. We are meant to live on this earth for a time and then die, we are not supposed come back to talk to those who are still on earth. Based on the fact that it was done at least once in history, I believe it may be possible people can still contact the dead, and that might be the only way they can come back. Now those are only my beliefs, they are not Biblical fact, although I do base this off of Biblical accounts. I do not believe it is possible for the dead to freely walk the earth as ghost. There is no Biblical evidence supporting the idea of ghosts as dead people haunting the living. So many might say "Well I've seen or heard or felt a ghost in my house" and I would say that I believe them. They have seen these things and heard these things. What I don't believe is the usual definition of the word ghost as I wrote above. The one we call the deceiver, or Lucifer, does just that, he deceives. If he can make you believe something that takes you away from the truth, he will. Like I said before, I've also seen a "GHOST." I was in my bed and I awoke to a soft but unfamiliar sound. My eyes opened to my dismay, I saw the second picture above. What your looking at is a peice of artwork I made, depicting the foot of my bed, a slightly open door, and a real event that took place. This ghostly figure came from right to left and stopped at the foot of my bed. Once it stopped it put what seemed to be an arm on my bed and I felt the bed shift as if someone had sat on the bed. I would love to tell more stories but that would make this already lengthy post even longer. To the point, I have dealt with this my whole life and my conclusion of what these things I have experienced are is nothing more then trickery by Satan himself. The reasoning would be to distract me from what the Lord has planed for my life. These are just demons, they can only do you harm if they are given the go ahead by you or God. If you want to know more or teach me something I may be missing on this topic you are more then welcome to comment.

  1. I've pretty much always thought this same thing! My mother and I have both had experiences with demonic activity before. It's heavy stuff and wears you out.

  2. I agree "Ghosts" are only demons. You can, however, tell them to flee in the name of Jesus Christ and bind them up and force them to go back into the lake of fire. You should read the book protecting your home from spiritual darkness by Chuck D. Pierce. :) Loved your post and I agree with it.
