Spirits and/or ghosts?

Someone once told me that all spirits and ghost were just demons. So, there are actually so such thing as ghost or spirits with unfinished business.

What are your thoughts?

I've seen some things, I'm just wondering what they were. I guess that looked like ghosts.

    Spirits and ghosts are poor wandering souls stripped off salvation. Ghosts have skeleton but no flesh. Spirit don't have bones also.

    Demons are strong. They have their own army, flag, independence day and all that. They sometimes challenge God Himself. Demons deal with only their equals. God does not want the people of this earth to take the side of the Demon in case there is a dispute threatening his very authority. That is why God has given sugar, chocolate, honey, beer, whiskey and all that as a present for human beings to keep them in good humour.

    i'm residing each and every of the time with evil spirits. i'm bombarding them daily. I had by no potential considered any ghost in my life yet i think of what we see in our desires whether they are our very own photos are ghosts. i think that those photos are created by potential of a few spirits or another invisible beings. they could be saved interior the comparable place they are. If not you may go through like me daily. it is your goodness which you probably did not get any connection of them.

    I'll assume that you really want to know, rather than be laughed at or hear religious make-believe.

    We all have an energy field around us. Some people call this an "aura". Wherever we live, or stay for any length of time, we leave an impression of that field in the walls, or even surrounding trees in spots we hold as special. This is especially so in places we have emotions about - good or bad.

    When someone dies, that energy stays there for a time, especially if the death was a violent one. In some cases a very long time. Deposits in the heavy stone walls of castles hold those images for centuries.

    Sensitive people, and those who have been 'primed' to see, usually by tourist guides, can sometimes see the image of the person who left the energy imprint there, and this is what people call ghosts, or incorrectly, 'spirits'. They are not "demons" or spirits with "unfinished business". They are just images, echoes of a person. Scary, I'll admit, but totally harmless.

    There's an old Vaudeville song which goes -

    "With 'er 'ead tucked underneath 'er arm, she walks the bloody tower." This was Anne Boleyn, whose "ghost" is supposed to walk the Tower of London. The image is still there, but it's very faint now, and I doubt they still include her in the tours.

    The first time I heard that spirits and ghosts are demons was here in R&S. What denomination teaches that I wonder?

    I don't believe it.

    I have seen my husbands deceased Grandfather. I believe it was him, not a demon.

    The Bible tells us not to call on spirits but that is not the same thing as one simply appearing.

    i guess Spirits and Ghosts are the same sorta thing but i dont think they are demons.

    im not really sure tho whether i believe in them or not. it is hard to say. but once when i went out side at nite, my dog kept on looking through the door as if someone was there, even tho no one was. if there are such things as ghosts then it was probably my gran who died in the year 2000.

    I think spirits or ghosts could exist just like aliens. Sure it could be scary or even be fun...but why not? It's like guardian angels! I'd like someone who died in my family to be my gurdian spirt if they only don't mind it! It would be great because I miss them a lot!

    I've never seen things like you have but I wouldn't go and try to do anything with them even I can see them. It's just me.

    I don't believe in that, but I sincerely doubt a ghost would be equal to a demon. :) I've always thought IF ghosts did exist, they'd be the spirits of those who passed on, or the emotional imprint or something. According to stories, a ghost is someone who was once alive, while a demon never lived. A haunting and a possession seem similar because they're both eerie, but I don't think they're the same at all.

    Let's see, God is a ghost, Jesus is a Ghost and the Holy Spirit, well... that's a ghost too... Looks like we have a whole family of imaginary friends to play with.
