What's your thoughts on spirits aka "ghosts" or poltergeists, etc. (kind of long)?
First of all, I am Christian…but I also tend to analyze everything that I see, hear and read to double-check everything. The topic of "ghosts" and "demons" and "poltergeists" and such seems quite debatable nowadays. So, I’m asking this question simply to get others’ thoughts and reasonings…not to start a theological debate or have other Christians tell me what I should or should not be doing.
My questions are quite a few in number, but also something I’ve thought a lot about since I’ve read various articles and saw various documentaries about different locations being "haunted" and such.
If people go to heaven or hell when they die, how is it that people see and hear things in old abandoned insane asylums, old houses where terrible things happen, the site of horrible accidents in buildings, armories, ships, etc. where terrible things happened. If people die and go to heaven or hell…who’s "haunting" the buildings that millions of people around the world seem to see/hear/encounter? They see "mists" and forms of a human being (usually that looks very similar to that of a former employee, family member, etc.), unexplainable glowing "orbs" that dart around the room as if lit up like a laser pointer. Some people report "cold spots" as if a being just walked through them or is in the presence of them. Some hear "knocking" or see other physically visible signs of a "confirmation" by the supposed entity when they ask if it’s x name or x person and if they died there, etc.
I believe in God. But to be fair in the argument…theoretically speaking, if there is no God, where do any ’spirits’ as well call them originate from? (don’t you fellow Christians dare quote that "The fool has said in his heart "There is no God" verse to me…i’m doing this to prove a point)
How are these ghosts/spirits/whatever visible sometimes but not in others, and only "felt" at other times as a cold, dark presence? How can they be a spirit in another realm and supposedly move objects around, cause liquids to leak out of walls randomly (usually resembling some sort of blood-like material red in color), etc.? Even a physical person can’t exactly pull that off in such an instant manner without having rigged an entire building to do that.
Yet rarely is there ever a case where the supposed "ghosts" physically hurt someone. I watched a video where one guy lived in a house where a little girl died and apparently the guy who killed her died, as well. The occupant of the house got live "cuts" on camera that would literally just appear and bleed on camera without any tricks, as if being attacked. That confuses me how things like this could happen, yet others don’t seem to do anything to people but "scare" them by pushing things, some supposedly "speak" audibly or by what many people called EVP, etc.
If there are "spirit realm rules" of sorts that prevents them from doing harm to humans…why are some more physically violent than others in these supposedly haunted locations?
If we die and are a spirit, then technically we aren’t dead. If there is no such thing as a spirit after we die (as some insist humans have no spirit at all)…what are these things that clearly occupy buildings and make noises, push and hit things to make noise, slam doors, etc. and are not visible?
If they are "demons" or "angels" as some say…that’s a spirit doing a physical thing in our realm, from their spirit realm. How is that possible? From a Christian perspective…angels are apparently "helpers" to strenghten us and guide us. Demons are apparently to try to cause and influence evil and pull us away from God (in a Christian viewpoint). I can’t imagine either of these "haunting" a building when their purpose would be for other things as basically at war with one another in their causes.
Some say "ghosts" are "people with unfinished business who died and are spiritually suffering over what physically happened to them. Doesn’t make much sense…if they died from their physical body, their spirit shouldn’t be "bound" by what happened in the body, correct? Plus, why would God theoretically let others go to heaven/hell and/or simply be ‘dead’ and leave a smaller number to drift around and "haunt" places? From a science perspective…if the body dies and there is no spirit…what’s going on in these issues? If the body dies and there is a spirit…then we’d have billions of people walking around "watching" everything. But every building isn’t said to be haunted, so that’s not very plausible…those events don’t happen everywhere.
So the options are: demons, angels or the spirits of those who died. Theoretically lost spirits with desires that will never be fulfilled, if they are spirits of those who died. This means they wouldn’t make it to heaven or hell or anywhere else than some house or building to reside in.
How does science approach this? It’s simple to say, "There’s a scientific explanation for it." But I don’t see any for the p
How does science approach this? It’s simple to say, "There’s a scientific explanation for it." But I don’t see any for the present-day "haunted" attractions that thousands of people visit yearly and report seeing/hearing/feeling things there. We could blame it on paranoia…but people have brought cameras with them and recorded live sounds, things being pushed around in buildings they had not been in before, groups of people freaking out (you can tell they’re not faking). Pictures taken in "haunted" houses, buildings, etc. occasionally capture a being-like form similar to that of a human, and sometimes a supposed face to go along with it. Other times it’s orbs or "auras" of light.
Do you think we’ll ever find out what these things are, unless of course, until we die ourselves? The term "poltergeist" by meaning is: "a ghost that announces its presence with rapping and the creation of disorder" and "The name of unexplained rapping
