I expect him to discover things that ACTUALLY EXIST. How does creating this thread validate the existence of ghosts?

That is the irony. You have adopted only one scope of viewing existence while in reality there are different scopes of viewing existence. You can't draw the boundaries of existence and non-existence with your limited scope of observation. Anyway, I've said too much already. Believe what you will. Opinion does not alter fact.

Fact being that ghosts exist?

I hear there are scientific proofs that ghost indeed truly exist.

TiffanyJ:

Some believe in them. I believe in them. Why? My mum told me about a ghost that once visited her and gave her a message.

I have heard lots of stories too. Most involve old grand parents

I'd be glad if you can show me.

sweetcocoa:

Will keep that in mind should I come across anything.

sweetcocoa:
Fact being that ghosts exist?

They exist but they are not ghosts of people who have died. They are evil spirits, demons, diabolical creatures, fallen angels wearing the mask of someone you know in order to lead you to destruction and damnation. That is a fact but not fact as defined by the physical senses of observation.

For example, in a house haunted by these spirits it is possible that only one or two people among others can detect the presence of the so-called ghosts, and can even hold conversation with them while others think their link to rational behaviour has been broken, that the mind has snapped. Because you can't see it does not automatically resign it to unreality.

How is it fact if there is no way to verify it?

sweetcocoa:
How is it fact if there is no way to verify it?

Paranormal events cannot be verified through scientific tests and observation. Their claim to fact highly depends on personal experience and other people's experiences, and personal observation. You see, its claim to fact is subjective. Nonetheless, a reality....there's still much to clarify about this but this should suffice as answer to your question.

FOLYKAZE:


The attackers are simply Criminals, Rustlers and bandits. Tagging them as Fulani without a tangible prove otherthan pictures from Herdmen in faraway Kenya is a demonic act.

Bros we are in religion section.

Nobody tagged them Fulani, people have known who has been attacking them in their community as Fulanis or are you telling us it was bandits that laid siege to that village of peasants in Enugu, executed the Agatu massacre? Okay please tell us what they bandied away with and what the villagers must have done to these bandits to have them slaughtered ? And do note that you're much in defense of these murderous Fulanis that you fail to realize how sympathetic you're to their murdering deeds by not realizing your quickness to misuse the deceitful term 'rustlers' when you used it in your statement to mean that the attackers who're attacking the attacked are rustlers!!!

So who have I tricked here on NL for you to think me a trickster ? Mind you Eshu is not a trickster as some pro-Abrahamist writer/authors who're bent on rubbishing Yoruba Believe System has unfortunately made the likes of you think, Eshu is a great dialectician.

Eshu is the messenger and guide of the
Orisha, a companion on the road and the guardian .... the dialectician of reality, a cautionary spirit who teaches that reality has more facets than one. source

Where is the evidence that points that those attackers were Fulani?

The picture you people circulate in the internet were gotten from blogs and CNN webpage which is not in anyway related with Fulani but herdmen from Kenya and Ethiopia.

So Mr, you;ve got to prove that those attackers were Fulani and not just junk in the media circle set to blackmail the president and his people.

You are a trickster. . . .no let us discuss that here

Shall we talk about ghost....

Prior to my first bipolar episode, I was looking at an emailed picture of my Mom and saw what looked like the image of the grim reaper in a reflection in the picture. It scared the crap out of me. During my hospitalization I remember talking to her on the phone and she was relaying symptoms to me that automatically made me think she was having a heart attack (radiating arm pain was among one of the things she mentioned). I got really scared again. Thankfully my Mom is still alive today.
Do you think there's a link between mental illness and the paranormal?

Ghosts, spirits, demons u mean!

The demon of necromancy is responsible for all these....

After a natural death, every one must be judged and that's it....

You see a family member or relation or anything at all ghost or spirit like just know you are encountering a fowl demon spirit nothing more!

Oga Explorers, U're on point. I commend you for the good jobs u have been doing so far. Pls could u write about DREAM?

Explorers:
Once our heart stops beating, past few minutes we are considered dead. Person who passed away gets buried, cremated or burnt according to rules of their religion. However it is to be noted that only body dies spirit flies out of the body. Most of our sacred books support Body gets destroyed but the soul remains above all the pain.
It gets a new body in heaven like we change our tore dresses, and takes birth again. But few of the soul don't take the Arial route to afterlife due to many reasons and stick on this earth. Some people believes many spirits roam for revenge due to untimely killing, or because of their loved ones.
Though there is no scientific evidence whatsoever proves the existence of ghosts(intelligent spirits of those who have passed away). But some books and movies have shown much about ghosts.

TiffanyJ:

Mine involved my father. He came back to give my mum a message.

seriously! Waoh i hope she wasn't too shocked.

I have encountered a ghost before!!! Yes you heard right now read my story on how it happened that faithful day

This is a true life experience of mine that i'm going to share right now.

As a kid still in my primary 4 or 5 back then, we lived deep inside Ugbo-oghe a notorious sub-urb of Enugu state.

Yeah we were introduced to ghost stories from a very young age and we have watched a lot of it from nollywood movies like Witches, Igodo and co.

I was so sure ghosts are real especially at night when the passages became so dark, i could hardly cross them unless with an adult or light or would run faster than i knew i could.

we lived in a room within the passage though, it became worse when one of our neighbours died, i would never cross the passage, ever! unless i was with someone.

Ghosts might catch me.

Then on that faithful day, evening though just at the peak of twilight. I was the only person out of all my siblings at home, papa and mama were out too, immediately the sun went down i couldn't stay inside our room again cus everything was getting dark and there was no light so i ran out into the open yard to play with others.

After a while i felt thirsty, and i needed to drink water. After minutes of gathering liver i decided to brave the almost pitch black passage though slightly lit from the gray twilight.

I'd then enter our already dark room to get myself some water, though fear lingered on in my mind i went in none the less.

then on getting in front of our room just before i stepped in. i began to hear some noises inside our room like someone was walking inside and i was sure i was the only one at home.

Jesus!! e don happen, ghost deh inside my house.

All the liver and courage i gathered evaporated immediately as i ran out again into the yard, called my friend chinedu he followed me back and we tip toed just to the front of our door peeping to see what was inside but that was impossible since it was dark but the footsteps still walked around.

Then an idea came, lets pour water inside the room, it might disappear or chase after us and there are lots of adults inside the yard so if we run inside the adults will be there to save us.

it was a very good idea and we both agreed.

we got a bucket full of water and a small custard cup, tip toed back to the door with Chinedu holding the bucket. I start raining cups after cups of water towards the corner of the dark room i could hear the foot steps.

after pouring like 5 cups i was sure i could hear the footstep moving towards us so we ran into the yard waiting.

Then the most unexpected thing happened..

From the dark room through the passage, out came My Father drenched with water

I had batted papa with water thinking it was a ghost.

Turns out he came home just when i ran into the yard to play at first..

I am a Christian who believes in the Bible alone for answers to questions and confusions such as the one you posted. Below is a clear biblical answer that I believe will satisfy any seeker of truth. May God bless you as you read prayerfully.

Are The Dead Really Dead?

Death just might be one of the most misunderstood subjects today. To many it is enshrouded in mystery and evokes dreaded feelings of fear, uncertainty, and even hopelessness. Others believe that their deceased loved ones are not dead at all, but instead live with them or in other realms! Still others are confused about the relationship between the body, spirit, and soul. But does it really matter what you believe? Yes... absolutely! Because what you believe about the dead will have a profound impact on what happens to you in the end-times. There's no room for guessing, so this Study Guide will give you exactly what God says on this subject. Get ready for a real eye-opener!

1. How did we get here in the first place?

"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7.

Answer: God made us from dust in the beginning.

The spirits of both the righteous and the wicked return to God. Their bodies return to dust.

2. What happens when a person dies?

"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Ecclesiastes 12:7.

Answer: The body turns to dust again, and the spirit goes back to God, who gave it. The spirit of every person who dies--whether righteous or wicked--returns to God at death.

There is nothing mysterious about the spirit that returns to God at death. It is the breath of life.

3. What is the "spirit" that returns to God at death?

"The body without the spirit ["breath," see margin] is dead." James 2:26. "The spirit of God ["the breath which God gave him," see margin] is in my nostrils." Job 27:3.

Answer: The spirit that returns to God at death is the breath of life. Nowhere in all of God's book does the "spirit" have any life, wisdom, or feeling after a person dies. It is the "breath of life" and nothing more.

4. What is a "soul"?

"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7.

Answer: A soul is a living being. A soul is always a combination of two things: body plus breath. A soul cannot exist unless body and breath are combined. God's Word teaches that we are souls.

5. Do souls die?

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:20. "Every living soul died in the sea." Revelation 16:3.

Answer: According to God's Word, souls do die! We are souls, and souls die. Man is mortal (Job 4:17). Only God is immortal (1 Timothy 6:15, 16). The concept of an undying, immortal soul goes against the Bible, which teaches that souls are subject to death.

6. Do good people go to heaven when they die?

"All that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth." John 5:28, 29. "David ... is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day." "For David is not ascended into the heavens." Acts 2:29, 34. "If I wait, the grave is mine house." Job 17:13.

Answer: No, people do not go either to heaven or hell at death. They go to their graves to await the resurrection day.


7. How much does one know or comprehend after death?

"The living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun." "There is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10. "The dead praise not the Lord." Psalms 115:17.

Answer: God says that the dead know absolutely nothing!

Though millions think it is possible, the dead cannot communicate with the living.

8. But can't the dead communicate with the living, and aren't they aware of what the living are doing?

"So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep." "His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them." Job 14:12, 21. "Neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun." Ecclesiastes 9:6.

Answer: No, the dead cannot contact the living, nor do they know what the living are doing. They are dead. Their thoughts have perished (Psalms 146:4).

Jesus calls death "sleep." It is a state of total unconsciousness.

9. Jesus called the unconscious state of the dead "sleep" in John 11:11-14. How long will they sleep?

"So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more." Job 14:12. "The day of the Lord will come ... in the which the heavens shall pass away."
2 Peter 3:10.

Answer: The dead will sleep until the great day of the Lord at the end of the world. In death, humans are totally unconscious with no activity or knowledge of any kind.

The righteous will be raised to life and given immortality at Jesus' second coming.

10. What happens to the righteous dead at the second coming of Christ?

"Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Revelation 22:12. "The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, ... and the dead in Christ shall rise ... and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17. "We shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, ... and the dead shall be raised incorruptible. ... For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." 1 Corinthians 15:51-53.

Answer: They will be rewarded. They will be raised, given immortal bodies, and caught up to meet the Lord in the air. There would be no purpose in a resurrection if people were taken to heaven at death.

The devil's first lie to Eve was "You won't die" - a statement completely contrary to all Scripture.

11. What was the devil's first lie?

"And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die." Genesis 3:4. "That old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan." Revelation 12:9.

Answer: Satan told Eve that sin would not bring death. "Ye shall not surely die," he said.

Those who believe the dead are alive become easy targets for the devil's deceptions.

12. Why did the devil lie to Eve about death? Could this subject be more important than many think?

Answer: It is one of the cornerstones of the devil's kingdom. He has worked powerful miracles down through the ages through people who claim to receive their power from the spirits of the dead. (Examples: Magicians of Egypt Exodus 7:11, Woman of Endor 1 Samuel 28:3-25, Sorcerers Daniel 2:2, A certain damsel Acts 16:16-18.)

A Solemn Warning
In the end-time Satan will again use sorcery as he did in Daniel's day to deceive the world (Revelation 18:23). Sorcery is a supernatural agency that claims to receive its power and wisdom from the spirits of the dead.

Posing as Jesus' Disciples
Posing as godly loved ones who have died, saintly clergymen who are now dead, Bible prophets, or even the apostles or disciples of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:13), Satan and his angels will deceive billions. Those who believe the dead are alive, in any form, will most assuredly be deceived.

All miracle working is not from God, because devils also work miracles.

13. Do devils really work miracles?

"They are the spirits of devils, working miracles." Revelation 16:14. "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matthew 24:24.

Answer: Yes, indeed! Devils work incredibly convincing miracles (Revelation 13:13, 14). Satan and his angels will appear as angels of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) and, even more shocking, as Christ Himself (Matthew 24:23, 24). The universal feeling will be that Christ and His angels are leading out in a fantastic worldwide revival. The entire emphasis will seem so spiritual and be so supernatural that only God's elect will not be deceived.

The elect will not be deceived, because they firmly reject everything that is contrary to Scripture.

14. Why will God's people not be deceived?

"They received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." Acts 17:11. "If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20.

Answer: God's people will know from their earnest study of His book that the dead are dead, not alive. Spirits of the dead do not exist. Therefore, God's people will reject all miracle workers and teachers who claim to receive special "light" or work miracles by contacting the spirits of the dead. And God's people will likewise reject as dangerous and false all teachings that claim the dead are alive in any form, anywhere.

In Moses' day, people who claimed power to communicate with the dead were stoned to death.

15. Back in Moses' day, what did God command should be done to people who taught that the dead were alive?

"A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones." Leviticus 20:27.

Answer: God insisted that wizards and others with "familiar spirits" (who claimed to be able to contact the dead) should be stoned to death. This shows how God regards the false teaching that the dead are alive.

No one in God's new kingdom will ever die. Death will cease at the destruction of Satan.

16. Will the righteous people who are raised in the resurrection ever die again?

"They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, ... Neither can they die any more." Luke 20:35, 36. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:4.

Answer: No! Death, sorrow, crying, and tragedy will never enter into God's new kingdom.

Reincarnation is impossible. Because God says all who died, both good and evil, are in their graves.

17. Belief in reincarnation is expanding rapidly today. Is this teaching biblical?

"The living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing. ... Neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun." Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6.

Answer: Almost half the people on earth believe in reincarnation, a teaching that the soul never dies but is instead continually reborn in a different kind of body with each succeeding generation. This teaching, however, is contrary to Scripture.

The Bible Says
After death a person: returns to dust (Psalms 104:29), knows nothing (Ecclesiastes 9:5), possesses no mental powers (Psalms 146:4), has nothing to do with anything on earth (Ecclesiastes 9:6), does not live (2 Kings 20:1), waits in the grave (Job 17:13), and continues not (Job 14:1, 2).

Satan's Invention
Reincarnation, channeling, communication with spirits, spirit worship, and the "undying soul" are all inventions of Satan, with one aim to convince people that when you die you are not really dead. When people believe that the dead are alive, "spirits of devils, working miracles" (Revelation 16:14) and posing as spirits of the dead will be able to deceive and lead them astray virtually 100 percent of the time (Matthew 24:24).

Those who insist on Scripture proof for all doctrines will not be led astray by Satan.

18. I am thankful for the Bible, which tells us the truth on this sensitive subject of death.

Thought Questions

1. Didn't the thief on the cross go to paradise with Christ the day He died?
No. In fact, on Sunday morning Jesus said to Mary, "I am not yet ascended to my Father." John 20:17. This shows that Christ did not go to heaven at death. Also note that the punctuation of the Bible is not inspired, but was added by men. The comma in Luke 23:43 should be placed after the words "to day" rather than before, so the passage should read, "Verily I say unto thee to day, shalt thou be with me in paradise." Or, "I'm telling you today--when it seems that I can save no one, when I myself am being crucified as a criminal--I give you the assurance today that you will be with me in paradise." Christ's kingdom is set up at His second coming (Matthew 25:31), and all the righteous of all ages will enter it at that time (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) and not at death.

2. Doesn't the Bible speak of the "undying," "immortal" soul?
No, the undying, immortal soul is not mentioned in the Bible. The word "immortal" is found only once in the Bible, and it is in reference to God (1 Timothy 1:17).

3. At death the body returns to dust and the spirit (or breath) returns to God. But where does the soul go?
It goes nowhere. Instead, it simply ceases to exist. Two things must be combined to make a soul: body and breath. When the breath departs, the soul ceases to exist because it is a combination of two things. When you turn off a light, where does the light go? It doesn't go anywhere. It just ceases to exist. Two things must combine to make a light: a bulb and electricity. Without the combination, a light is impossible. So with the soul; unless body and breath are combined, there can be no soul. There is no such thing as a disembodied soul.

4. Does the word "soul" ever mean anything other than a living being?
Yes, it may mean also (1) life itself, or (2) the mind, or intellect. No matter which meaning is intended, the soul is still a combination of two things (body and breath), and it ceases to exist at death.

5. Can you explain John 11:26, which says, "And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die"?
This refers not to the first death, which all people die (Hebrews 9:27), but to the second death, which only the wicked die and from which there is no resurrection (Revelation 2:11; 21:.

6. Matthew 10:28 says, "Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul." Doesn't this prove that the soul is undying?
No, it proves the opposite. The last half of the same verse proves that souls do die. It says, "But rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." The word "soul" here means life and refers to eternal life, which is a gift (Romans 6:23) that will be given to the righteous at the last day (John 6:54). No one can take away the eternal life that God bestows. (See also Luke 12:4, 5.)

7. Doesn't 1 Peter 4:6 say the gospel was preached to dead people?
No, it says the gospel "was" preached to those who "are" dead. They are dead now, but the gospel "was" preached to them while they were yet living.

8. What about the souls crying out from under the altar in Revelation 6:9, 10? Doesn't this show that souls do not die?
No. This cry was figurative, as was the cry of Abel's blood (Genesis 4:10). The word "soul" here means people (or living beings) who had been slain for their faith. Surely no one believes that souls who die literally lie under the altar, nor do people believe that the righteous beg God to punish their enemies. Rather, the righteous beg for mercy for their enemies, as Christ did on the cross (Luke 23:34).

9. Doesn't the Bible say Christ went and preached to lost souls in hell between His crucifixion and resurrection?
No, the Bible passage in question is 1 Peter 3:18-20. The preaching was done "by the Spirit" (verse 18) in Noah's day--to people who were then living (verses 19, 20). The "spirits in prison" refers to people whose lives were in bondage to Satan. (See Psalms 142:7; Isaiah 42:6, 7; 61:1; and Luke 4:18.)

After the man died here in akure 15 years ago, he went to the north and married, it was when his wife has been disturbing him to know his family that he sent them before him.
hope you understand Sir.

Are you sure the man died in the first place or he just ran away and faked his death?

skeendyke:
'Ghosts' are familiar spirits masquerading as a personality that once was alive. It is appointed for man to die once and then face judgment. The devil fools people into believing departed loved ones desire to communicate and live with their family members. This is how the devil captures the homes of unsuspecting folks and unleashes a reign of terror on them.

Bottomline is ghosts are demons attempting to work their way into the lives of people by taking on the personality of those dead and gone who are familiar to their target. Why? This makes it easier for them to be accepted and have unrestricted access in the household of the departed one which gives them the freedom to cause harm and destruction at will.

I concur
