    Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

    While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

    Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

    I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.

    During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

    I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

    I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

    What we call ghosts are actually evil spirits.

    Matthew 10

    Jesus Chooses His Twelve Apostles

    10 Jesus called together his twelve disciples. He gave them the power to force out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and sickness.

    Mark 3

    Jesus and the Ruler of Demons

    20 Jesus went back home,[f] and once again such a large crowd gathered that there was no chance even to eat. 21 When Jesus' family heard what he was doing, they thought he was crazy and went to get him under control.

    22 Some teachers of the Law of Moses came from Jerusalem and said, “This man is under the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons! He is even forcing out demons with the help of Beelzebul.”

    23 Jesus told the people to gather around him. Then he spoke to them in riddles and said:

    How can Satan force himself out? 24 A nation whose people fight each other won’t last very long. 25 And a family that fights won’t last long either. 26 So if Satan fights against himself, that will be the end of him.

    27 How can anyone break into the house of a strong man and steal his things, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can take everything.

    28 I promise you that any of the sinful things you say or do can be forgiven, no matter how terrible those things are. 29 But if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you can never be forgiven. That sin will be held against you forever.

    30 Jesus said this because the people were saying that he had an evil spirit in him.

  • Yes. I was laying in bed, talking with my girlfriend when I started to feel an evil presence in the hallway. I tried to ignore it but it would not go away. Finally I asked her if she felt it and she said yes. I have also encountered many spirits during ayahuasca journeys.

    Spirits or ghosts are real. We live in the physical realm. Apart from this physical realm, there is a spirit realm. The persons living in the spirit realm are spirit persons. There are good spirits or holy spirits. There are bad spirits or evil spirits. God's kingdom is in the spirit realm. The large number of citizens of God's kingdom are all holy spirits. God's kingdom is the most luxurious place to live. If we represent God here on earth and do what God wants us to do here on earth, we become eligible to enter God's kingdom. At death, we are reborn as holy spirits in God's kingdom and live there as full citizens eternally.

    I believe in them but I never seen one personally. My grandfather was about to be murdered on a beach in egypt by 7 people by being buried alive in the sand and an angel of God physically came and saved him, then disappeared. My grandfather is a very simple, down to earth man who doesnt BS and that is why my dad believed him when he told him.

    As an Occultist I would say 100% yes.

    You see when the unexplained happened we call it the paranormal. It is a fact that these things can and do happen. People really need to realize that research in the paranormal is still very young.

    I do, they lived in our house for a while and you can see spirits in the dark in the woods.

    It is something that i doubt since i have never seen or experienced solid evidence. But i have family members who assert they do since they have experienced it. I am sure there is a logical explanation for people who are sure they have seen or heard ghosts.
