What is a Ghost?
There are many meanings associated with the word ghost.
Of course the most common is that a ghost is the spirit or soul of a person who is no longer living. This is correct however, there are many types of ghosts. There are those known as residual or repeaters. These ghosts are the type that are always seen doing the same thing or follow a particular pattern. It is not yet known if these type of ghosts represent the presence of a true spirit in the house or area or if they are just caused by a sort of psychic video caught in time. This is the reason for hearing stories involving ghostly cars, airplanes or trains.
The second is having an actual aware spirit. These spirits are active and do not always follow patterns. Therefore, it makes them less able to predict. This is the soul of a person who for what ever reason has not gone on yet. We also have heard many stories of people having encounters with angels. While these do not exactly qualify as ghosts they are spirits but may not be of people who have lived. The same is said of what is referred to as demons. I do not believe these to be common.
I think more likely what someone may call a demon is actually an unhappy spirit. When we pass on we will carry our same personality we have with us in life. In a sense our essence will not change. Just as there are disagreeable people we meet in life, there will be disagreeable spirits we will encounter. Some people believe all ghosts to be evil. I know this is not so. Just because a person does not for whatever reason go on after death does not make them evil or mean they are here to do harm.
Why are ghosts here?
Ghosts may choose to stay around the earth instead of going on for many reasons. One reason is because they may feel they are still needed here. Some spirits have been known to stay long enough for a grieving spouse or child to come to terms with the loss and only then do they feel they can move on.
Others have chosen to stay behind because of some unfinished business. If it is something they feel strongly about such as a victim of murder not moving on until their attacker has been found and brought to justice. It is my belief that the vast majority of spirits are still here because they do not realize they are no longer living. This is particularly true of people who died suddenly. They may go about each day as if nothing has happened to them. Still others may be afraid to go in to the light that beckons us at our last hour. We know this is true because of people who have had near death experiences. They may think if they do not go they will be allowed to return to continue their lives or may just be afraid of the unknown and what may await them.
