I should offer prayers for her soul.I talked to a ghost…
Decades later I heard she is haunting a house
Enoch isn't canonical.
Actually, I believe some Oriental Orthodox Churches accept it as canonical, my error. The RCC, Protestant, and EO do not accept Enoch as canonical. It's an interesting perspective, though. Maybe you are right. Some believed the pagan gods were really demons.Guess that depends which canons you choose to accept or reject.

notice the lower case g and small l. Christians have always been monotheistic, and Judaism, by that time, was monotheistic.as there be gods many, and lords many … But to us there is but one
1 Corinthians 8:5-6

Christians believe in only one God. As do Jews and Muslims.they prioritize one particular god

They do not believe that other "gods" exist.they prioritize one particular god

Yes. We put our priority on the one true God.that is how they prioritize
Yes. We put our priority on the one true God.
We do not believe that other gods exist. so we do not put a "priority" on them.whatever
@Frank RobertIf something exists, it is by definition natural.
The article from Big Think discusses the possibility that ghosts may be real, but not supernatural. The author, Dean Radin, is a parapsychologist who has spent his career studying the paranormal. He believes that there is evidence that ghosts may exist, but that they are not supernatural beings.Radin's evidence for ghosts comes from a variety of sources, including:
- Eyewitness accounts: People have reported seeing ghosts for centuries. While some of these reports may be hoaxes, others are difficult to explain.
- Photographic evidence: Some people have taken photographs that appear to show ghosts. While these photographs can be faked, some of them are difficult to explain.
- Instrumental evidence: Some people have used electronic devices to detect ghosts. These devices have recorded strange readings that some people believe are evidence of ghosts.
Radin believes that the evidence for ghosts is strong enough to suggest that they may exist. However, he also believes that ghosts are not supernatural beings. He believes that they may be a form of energy that we do not yet understand.Radin's views on ghosts are controversial, but they are also thought-provoking. The article he wrote for Big Think is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in exploring the possibility that ghosts may be real.Additional thoughts on the possibility of ghosts:
- It is important to note that there is no scientific consensus on the existence of ghosts. Some scientists believe that the evidence for ghosts is not strong enough to support their existence. Others believe that the evidence is strong enough to warrant further investigation.
- It is also important to note that the definition of a "ghost" is not universally agreed upon. Some people believe that ghosts are the spirits of dead people. Others believe that ghosts are a form of energy or consciousness that is not bound by the laws of physics.
- Ultimately, the question of whether or not ghosts exist is a matter of personal belief. There is no scientific evidence that can definitively prove or disprove the existence of ghosts.
does it exist before you observe it?
Off topic… I was pointing at one of the paradoxes that demonstrates that science is happy to postulate the seemingly absurd! Our materiaiistic world has faith in scientism .You can answer if you existed an hour ago
Spot on for noting the problem.There needs to be a basis for distinguishing between what is natural or super natural without making an assumption about whether or not it exists. If everything that is considered to be supernatural is considered to be natural on the basis of if it exists, then that is essentially assuming that the supernatural is that which does not exist or is assuming that all that exists is natural.
