Hi Strikaltor,
The word 'ghost' in the bible just really means Spirit, alot of the older translations call the Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost. it means the same thing.
When people go to clairvoyants etc, and then they hear from dear old aunt bessy, it is not aunt Bessy at all, it is an evil impersonator, it is all about deception.
If Satan can get people to believe that peoples spirits just wander around after death and speak to humans then he is decivng them fro the truth and robbing God of Glory. For anyone who here's from a relative usually hears that they are doing ok etc etc.
We also here that some spirits are trapped in some sort of sense between here and the after world or that because they were miss treated they stay and reak havoc, this also is deceoption becaause it still points to an afterworld were all go and no mention of God. it seems we all go into another world tho spiritual.
It is all a deception from Satan to rob God of His glory and to keep people blinded from the truth of the Gospel.
Remember evils spirits Know you and your family better than you do, they have been watching you all your life..thats how they can say things that only family or friends will know, hence hieghtening the deception. same goes for so called haunted houses with history, evil spirits no history better than we do!
Blessings

Any idea why she was banned? Just curious.
I just want to point out something. People saying ghost or "spirits" are ALWAYS evil are wrong. There are good spirits. according to the bible, it is true that there are no 'ghost', but it does not say that only demons roam the earth, but to test spirits when you encounter them.
7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it(Ecclesiastes 12:7).
There are no ghosts,because all spirits go back to God who gave them,so they are not roaming around,which our soul is what lasts forever.
If you are with Jesus,no demon or devil can mess with you.
If you want to go to a haunted house to see if there are demons or devils there,why would you do that if you are with Jesus,and why would demons and devils be hanging around a house for,to get a cut of the money that people pay to enter the haunted house.
There are no ghosts roaming around on this earth.
15And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 16And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded(Acts 19:15-16).
If someone did go to a haunted house,thinking it was haunted by deceased humans,ghosts,and then came to find out is was really demons in that house,they better not be a hypocrite,and they better have the authority of Jesus in their life,or else they might find themselves running out of that house naked and wounded,after the demon whips their butt.

There's heaven and hell. When you die you go to one of these places, you don't get left on earth as a ghost. It's not biblical.
Ghosts don't exist. The devil and his demons do. They have the ability to manifest themselves into bodily form and impersonate dead people/ghosts. They can possess someone's body and also communicate through psychics to make the recipient believe they are speaking to their dead relative. In doing this, they are continuing the deceptions of the devil. The recipient is deceived into thinking they have eternal security, that their dead relative is speaking in Spiritual form from heaven. Demons have been around for so long, that they would know every personal detail about you and the older generation of your family. Don't be deceived by their games.
Ephesians 5:11: "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them"

but....it would bring up the case of purgatory it being a place that is not bad but also not good.
its not bad because there not in hell but also not good because they have not crossed over to god.
- all people are can believe what they want...and all is open for interpritation by ones self.
I am not arguing nor do I want to....This is a logical thought.

A ghost is the spirit of a dead person who is trapped on the earth because they have 'unfinished business' that they can't let go of, on earth. Until this issue is resolved they stay on the earth as a disembodied spirit.
But the bible says 'it is appointed once for a man to die But Then to judgement.' There is nothing in the bible that supports, or even allows for the concept of a ghost.

I was not suprised to see her banned cause she was making personal attacks on people. It is ok to disagree but, we should not make personal attacks.
There are no ghosts for the Bible says the dead do not know anything but there are both good and evil angels around us as the Bible says. Satan took 1 3rd of the angels from heaven so that means there are twice as many good angels to evil.
