Why do people like Sylvia Brown insist that ghosts can't hurt you when there is a documented case like this?

Answer 1

I think it is  incredibly foolish to assert, in essence, that the spirit world is all benevolent.  There are bad guys in this present life, aren't there? So there are bad guys in the "next world" too.

The Bible strongly forbids interaction via mediums with the spirit world, the dead (departed) and such.

A strong case can be made that those who think they are contacting ghosts are actually contacting demons.  The Bible portrays a God in Heaven, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit--but also angels and demons.

We Americans often naively think like we drive and walk in traffic--we think we are invulnerable. A dangerous mistake.

Answer 2

I don't think these are ghosts. There are good and bad people so it figures that there would be good and bad ghosts, but I think that there are bad energies or entities around. I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but they believe that ghosts are a "trick of the devil" to confuse people into believing in a guaranteed afterlife, therefore shunning christianity!

Answer 3

You know, I do believe that people who have lived and died do occasionally show themselves to us, but most of the stuff we see on television regarding such things are usually very sensationalized and embellished. I don't believe it's good to use mediums to contact spirits. I do believe that members of my own family have seen spirits, but usually only other family members. I have never seen a ghost or spirit, but I do believe that there are those who died with unfinished business, and they are cursed to walk this earth for a time, unable to complete their duties without a body. The spirit realm is right alongside the physical.

i don't really know what else to say, other than faith is greater than fear, and most spirits don't mean any harm. Some give us warnings, I do believe in guardian angels, and I do believe in demons. I believe it's important to keep ourselves protected from such influence. Watching TV shows like that, is not an accurate view of the spirit realm.

Answer 4

How do you know that these are actual REAL documented cases..?

I think the cases that come on the Discovery Channel are probably based more on fiction, and are probably embellished for t.v. to make it more entertaining..

Not saying that I know for sure that a spirit or ghost can't hurt you, though.

Hmm..maybe the spirits who hurt people were not nice people before they died, so now their souls are malicious too.

???

Interesting question...

Answer 5

Do you believe all you see on TV? It's so easy to fake anything now. Most spirits do not hurt but if you are hit by something thrown by a poltergeist, it still hurts

Answer 6

Ghosts cannot hurt you. If they exist they have their own dimension.

Answer 7

because sylvia browne is a crackpot and so is that video

Answer 8

Because Sylvia Browne is a HUGE fake...
