Are demons/ghosts real? Can science explain?

Question

I just saw on discovery channel, the show The haunting about how some house was haunted and there was some sort of demon or ghost. If it's not real, why is it on discovery channel? Can science explain if ghosts/demons are real? I don't believe in ghosts or stuff like that but I'm just wondering if it isn't real, why are there stuff like that happening to other people?

Answer 1

because ghosts and science connect. it all has to do with the allignment of planets or magnetic fields. if the waves fluxuate, the brain can hallucinate and see the image once seen before when living. when you die, your ATP body energy is still in a state, it doesn't leave earth. if a person had some type of angry life or died in a sudden manner, your 'spirit' or the energy around captured it, and can channel things. if its magnetic, it can control all sorts of things, but the voices and forces like slamming doors, etc. cannot be explained. death is ONLY the beginning.

Answer 2

Just because Discovery Chanel puts out a programme about ghosts or demons doesn't mean they are telling us that ghosts or demons are real.  They are simply presenting a case and allowing us to make up our own minds.

I watched a programme recently (I can't remember which channel) in which a spiritualist medium was taken to the tomb of Tutankhamen where he held a conversation with the long dead pharaoh.  Maybe he did have this conversation.  But absolutely nothing the pharaoh told the medium came as a surprise to me; I had read it all in books.

With regards your question 'Can science explain ghosts, demons?'  You cannot prove a negative and ghosts are somewhat negative, are they not?

Answer 3

There are too many unexplained or paranormal activities recorded and recounted by so many different people that something must be going on.  Some people explain these occurances as fluctuations in the earth's magnetism.  In areas of high magnetism, some people can experience hallucinations.  Here is a good website that explains some different theories http://www.mysticalblaze.com/GhostsNatur...

completely agree with Saturn :) you ask: ".If it's not real, why is it on discovery channel?" - well, probably because they are also trying to find answers and give you choices. plus, it's good for ratings :D

about it happening to other people - it is relatively easy for some people to find themselves in similar circumstances and experience the same sensations. take famous haunted places: there is something there; you can choose either a supernatural explanation or a scientific one (magnetism, movements of the earth's crust etc). plus - the human psyche basically works about the same for everyone (otherwise we couldn't understand one another). but wait, there's more! :) when people 1) are aware of others' "supernatural encounters" and 2) believe in such things, they are more likely to understand in this manner some weird events instead of searching for a more down to earth explanation.

BUT it is up to you what you choose to believe! just like religion.

Answer 5

Watch the show Ghost Hunters on the Sci Fi channel on Wednesday nights. They try to debunk ghost sightings and try to explain away why people are experiencing things. Sometimes they can't. It might help you decide one way or the other for yourself.

Answer 6

No one knows for sure but all cultures have ghosts. The Bible speaks of good and evil spirits (ghosts).  The witch of Endor raised Samuel's ghost to speak to King Saul; and Jesus cast out demons.

Science debunks ghosts and demons. But it cannot explain ESP, nor any paranormal phenomena, like Elvis appearances and the Bermuda Triangle. These are all spirit based. While we wait for the answer, Hollywood and cable TV earn millions of dollars from entertaining us with stories and investigations about ghosts.
