Answer 4

ghosts are just residual energy ... like a memory left behind

kinda like a tape recording of what once was

it isnt spirit , it isnt conscious ... it isnt anyone left behind

it is just a recording

and will eventually fade once a new recording is made on a place

Answer 6

there is no such a ghost but there is a jinn



read what allah said in quran

(55) And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me. (56) I do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me. (57) Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong. (58) So surely those who are unjust shall have a portion like the portion of their companions, therefore let them not ask Me to hasten on. (59) Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with. (60)

other verse

Al-Jinn

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Say: It has been revealed to me that a party of the jinn listened, and they said: Surely we have heard a wonderful Quran, (1) Guiding to the right way, so we believe in it, and we will not set up any one with our Lord: (2) And that He-- exalted be the majesty of our Lord-- has not taken a consort, nor a son: (3) And that the foolish amongst us used to forge extravagant things against Allah: (4) And that we thought that men and jinn did not utter a lie against Allah: (5) And that persons from among men used to seek refuge with persons from among jinn, so they increased them in wrongdoing: (6) And that they thought as you think, that Allah would not raise anyone: (7) And that we sought to reach heaven, but we found it filled with strong guards and flaming stars. (8) And that we used to sit in some of the sitting-places thereof to steal a hearing, but he who would (try to) listen now would find a flame lying in wait for him: (9) And that we know not whether evil is meant for those who are on earth or whether their Lord means to bring them good: (10) And that some of us are good and others of us are below that: we are sects following different ways: (11) And that we know that we cannot escape Allah in the earth, nor can we escape Him by flight: (12) And that when we heard the guidance, we believed in it; so whoever believes in his Lord, he should neither fear loss nor being overtaken (by disgrace): (13)

Answer 7

its a load of rubbish

Answer 8

Well you have to be married to understand what a ghost is. They are not always a see through image of ourselves but again? It's your wife walking around with a cucumber creamed face or your boyfriend after a drinking hang over sleeping in bed with his feet and legs hanging out on the side of the bed.

Answer 9

First there are no faeries, and as for ghost there demons. Most people think that there a see though dead person (who apparently is alive -don't really get how there dead but alive, but anyway). This way of thinking developed because of wrong translantion from Hebrew to Greek to English. It would take to long to really go into it, but basically Ghost in Hebrew means simply dead. In Greek it can mean two things, dead like the Hebrew but it can also mean 'Spirit' (or life force)  and in English they have combined the two making it a dead Spirit (or dead life force).

Just use your common sense, does it make sense that a DEAD person can be ALIVE at the same time? Your either one or the other.

Answer 10

All humans become spirits after death- intelligent, invisible beings, with essentially the same mentality and characteristics they had on earth. Good spirits (depending on our karma in life on earth) are like fairies and angels, they go closer to God with their good intentions and actions, whereas spirits with bad intentions or evil at heart can be called ghosts/demons.

Answer 11

They are supposed to be the spirits of people who have died, but not yet crossed over. One belief is that they are here because they have unfinished business or something horrible happened like they were murdered. Some people think they are stuck here because they were an alcoholic or something like that and don't want to leave their addiction behind. There is always the possibility that ghosts can come back from the beyond because I read about a woman who was sexually abused by her Grandad. When he died he came back and told her he was sorry and he was been punished for it in the after life. Some Christians believe there are no ghosts as they have passed on and can't come back from Heaven/h**l or they are asleep until Judgement day. They believe what we consider a ghost is actally a demon pretending. But I think there are both Ghosts and Demons. Hope I helped.

Answer 12

Your confusion is understandable.

There are many imaginary things that can make exciting and enjoyable fiction stories. Many people enjoy them and I do, too.

Just remember, ghosts don’t exist. Also, the following are NOT REAL:

Dragons, time traveling, pixies, werewolves, zombies, Cupid, mermaids, vampires, tooth fairies, telepathy, lucky numbers, light sabers, homeopathic healing, magic of any color, leprechauns, spontaneous human combustion, astrological influences, Vulcan death grip, clairvoyants, astral traveling, Superman, charmed or lucky objects, hexes, unicorns, space aliens on Earth, paranormal anything, genies, dead people walking around, telekinesis, spirit guides… or supernatural events of any kind.

Answer 13

There are no such things....
