A COMMON BELIEF?BUT IS IT TRUTH?
One teaching common to most religions around the globe is that man has within him an invisible soul that survives the death of the body and lives on immortally as a spirit. Do you recognize that teaching? It often is linked with the idea that the soul of a good person goes to heaven at death. And it is behind the widespread concern about the ?spirits? of dead relatives or ghosts. The Encyclop?dia Britannica points out: ?The belief in human immortality in some form is almost universal.? Probably you know that.
But it is quite appropriate that the encyclopedia says ?almost universal.? Why? Because the ancient Hebrews and early Christians did not believe that humans have immortal souls.
You may be surprised to hear that, for many persons think that this church doctrine is drawn from the Bible. However, note this:
According to the Scriptures the first lie, told by Satan the Devil, was that human sin would not bring death. (Gen. 3:1-4) When our original human parents did die anyway, and death claimed everyone afterward, what would be more deceptive than to say, ?They are not really dead?just their body is; their soul lives immortally?? Yes, the doctrine of the immortality of the human soul tends to further Satan?s lie and has led millions to fear the dead.
Simply put, however, the Scriptures teach that your soul is you. We find an indication of that in what the Bible reports about Adam. The Creator formed a body from dust and then provided life and the breath needed to sustain life. The result? Adam ?came to be a living soul.? (Gen. 2:7) He was not given a soul. Adam was a soul.?Compare 1 Corinthians 15:45.
Consistent with this, the Bible teaches that a soul (a person) can die. See Ezekiel 18:4. Does that mean that when some person is dead he has no thoughts or feelings? Exactly. In fact, Ecclesiastes 9:5 informs us: ?The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.?
Does that mean that there is no more hope for our relatives and friends who have died? No, for the Bible gives examples in which God brought dead persons back to life, resurrected them. For instance, you may already know that God resurrected Jesus Christ as a spirit on the third day after his death. (Acts 10:39, 40; 1 Pet. 3:18) On the basis of this and related Bible promises, we can look forward to the time when God will resurrect those in his memory.?Acts 17:31; 24:15.
When you reflect on matters, then, you can see that the immortal-soul doctrine taught by most religions conflicts directly with what the Bible says. So ask yourself: ?What does this mean for me? Do I need to make some adjustment so as to worship God in his way, with truth??
so if they are not humans, the answer to your Question would be yes. For more information go to

I believe that there is no such thing a ghosts as we think of them, that there are forces we cannot see at work, both demonic and Godly. A person who dies does not come back, they either go to heaven or hell. I believe demonic forces emulate those we loved to confuse us and keep us from looking at Biblical truth. It feels good to think someone is in the room with us, or fun to think that someplace is haunted. Do some research on this and see what you come up with. It is an interesting topic to pursue.

The theory that ghost r demons is very logical, but demons r born from the wickedness of the human "soul".... Or by those who have the ability to leave their bodies at will.... i am one such person, i have been seen as a demon when fighting against people that i goto school with.... they have told me that when i start to lose, that i get a strange smerk on my face and that i dont even sound like myself...... they have also said that my eyes had turned completly Black with Blood colored pupils....... it sounds strange yes i know but it is true.... i have seen my eyes change..... it all started when i was about 3 or 4 years old.... i was killed but i never died, i simply continued to, by scientific standards, live and function as i did.... but everything was different from then on...

The greatest trick the devil ever played was to convince the world he did not exist. What better way to portray this ideology than the idea of "ghosts" of the deceased residing around us and communicating with us? This is dangerous ploy to make us question our beliefs, and ponder the existence of heaven and hell. Do not be fooled, nor let evil doubt your faith.
