Ghosts are the same as gods, angels, spirits, demons, devils, vampires, werewolves, unicorns, mermaids, dragons, centaurs, incubi, succubi, and numerous other mythological beings. They’re all products of the human imagination.

Ghosts are real, for sure. I see them, though my son sees them way more than I do. The first one I saw was my grandfather when I was 9 or 10, the first one my son saw was his uncle when he was 6 or 7ish.

I want to say yes, but I just don't see how it's possible from a Biblical perspective. It has to be demons or some sort of other spirit (not human spirit). I voted yes, but it's not a human spirit.

The book of Jude in the Bible warned against those (Christians) who will slander "celestial beings" (demons most certainly, and possibly ghosts too). Or just simply slander anything they do not understand.

We are told, a characteristic of Christians who follow false teachings is slander. It is wrong to slander even the demons. It is also wrong to slander things you do not understand like possibly saying that ghosts are evil.

Another characteristic of Christians who follow false teachings is their animal instincts. They do not account for the spiritual reality. Although they may say they do believe in spiritual matters, in miracles, and such and such, the majority of their actions and decisions they've ever made their whole life simply say, they don't believe in such thing. You can't tell their life apart from unbelievers.

On the other hand, a Christian whose heart is in the right place do not slander celestial beings, not even demons!

These are all according to Jude, Chapter 1 in the Bible.
