Ghosts arent real. They are "familiar spirits" which are DEMONS. DEVILS.

Devils are all over the place.

But if your going to aplace KNOWING its a hot spot, thye WILL mess with you. I would avoid seekign after that kinda stuff.

IF your ignorant of whats in a place, thats one thing...but going to aplace knowing...wel...your askign for nightmares/really bad temptations up the wazoo/maybe worse. I would stay away. Yes, knowingly would be defiant to God. And he might just allow them to REALLY mess with you for beign dissobedient.

1 John 4:1-3 ESV

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

Actually, I was wondering the same thing. Here is a haunted famous house where you can enter if you pay for it. It's like a place for tourists because it's very famous for being confirmed to be haunted. I think ghosts are demons as DeadFlesh said and even though I have never had a "ghostly" experience, I do know several people that has been " attacked" by them, for examplee, my moms and brothers. So I was wondering, what if you go to these mmm...attractions for fun, like the haunted houses.I kinda feel it may be wrong but I kinda feel maybe it's not, since demons are verywhere. What do you guys think ?

I have never heard of that, I thought that ghosts were separate from Demons and not necessarily evil.

To go to a place where you know evil dwells "for fun" is bad, and very dangerous. You are taking a HUGE risk. I say, Stay away from all thigns that have to do with "ghoasts" witches, vampires, and the like. its all based on Devils. And a Child of God really shouldnt be fellowshiping with Darkness.

Jesus bless you.

Are you going by what the WORLD says(which God has told us repeadedly in the scriptures to come out of, and NOT to emulate?)

OR are you talkign about what GOD says, in the Scriptures? Becasue there is never a mention of "Ghosts" in the scriptures. ONLY familiar spirits. And its ALWAYS a part of evil/unclean practices, and spirits.

Ghost aren't us my friend after we die. Because the bible says we die and wait for the Ressurection, like a sleep. Then we get glorified bodies that go to heaven...not ghost sorry my friend. If they speak not of Jesus and came not from Jesus....there is something wrong with that picture. It's demons.

Im talking about the spirit of a human which was breathed life into. The spirit that will either go with God into heaven or go to hell with Satan. I guess I could see that they are unclean spirits but what about people that see loved ones that have passed?

I myself won't go to places like that because it glorifies the devil and gives him power he doesn't have, it would be just as dumb as going to a strip club but only for the food and not the view.

If I had to stay in a haunted house, I would but only if I had to. I wouldn't go out of my way to pick a fight with devils.

Luke 24:39
Look at my hands. Look at my feet. You can see that it’s really me. Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do.”



Jesus does refer to Ghosts here

Is that your work brother? We are told not to chalenge these creatures,but if someone need help ,we just command them in jesus name.
And we try to stay away from the enemy.

Even as a christian,sometimes it human nature(were also flesh),to be intrigued by such things:however we are to abstain from all evil. Personally, ive been to a couple of haunted houses(all in fun) with dressed up people with fake masks and tons of make-up on. Not sur if that really pleases the Lord. To go to a place that has been described as being haunted,for sure! Theres no such things as ghosts,its demonic spirits.I would not take it lightly. Would hate to open a doorway for the ememy to attack me in any way shape or form.As Christians we battle hard enough as it is.

OP I just want to know what the bible says about knowingly going to a place that has ghosts? Are you putting yourself in jeopardy even though you have the Blood of Jesus protecting you? Are you testing God by visitng a place that reportadley has ghosts?
1) WHAT is the PURPOSE of going into a place like that?? Is to 'see if they are real'? That is tempting God. Don't do it.
2) Is it to attemt to 'deliverance'? THAT is beyond the realm of WISDOM and for most beyond the ability of knowing what needs to be done...again tempting God AND acting presumptuously. Don't do it.
IF you can answer the question of WHY WOULD YOU?, you will recieve wise answers.
The whole thing is a TRAP to enslave people to a demon of FEAR.
DO NOT DO IT. God provided the saving blood of Jesus, but He also supplies WISDOM....which He expects us to USE.
THe ONLY time a person should willing to go a place like that is IF they have been called of God to do a cleansing or at least been invited by the property owners to do a cleansing...and then only if Holy Spirit leads.
