What are Demons - Evil Spirits - and ghosts ?
The Book of Enoch states that demons are indeed the spirits of the Nephilim, here is Enoch - Chapter 15:
Speaking to the Fallen Angels, it states "3. Wherefore have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth, and begotten giants (Nephilim) as your sons. 4. And though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten (children) with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those who die and perish. 5. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth. 6. But you were formerly, spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. 7. And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling.
8. And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits (fallen angels) and flesh (human women), shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 9. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from women, and from the holy Watchers (fallen angels) is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. 10. As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling. 11. And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless hunger, and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.
That section above from the book of Enoch clearly states what the evil spirits or demons are, and from where they came, they are the spirits or eternal souls of the Nephilim.
I have watched numerous factual documentary movies about hauntings, haunted houses and have read numerous reports on cases of demonic possessions. In a lot of these haunted cases, there appears to be a main spirit that is always very evil, and it often seems to control one or more supposedly trapped souls or dead human spirits, in these haunted locations. This main, evil and dark entity shows its self often as a cloaked, or hooded figure, and at other times as a dark rolling black mass, or shadow type person. I believe this main evil entity is a fallen angel, or what is also called a devil, it is not The Devil as in Satan, but it is a high level fallen angel, and these supposedly trapped human spirits also haunting these locations are really just lesser demonic beings, or as they are also called evil spirits, the souls of the Nephilim.
They are all working hand in hand, to make an area appear haunted, just as another way or causing fear, and tormenting humans that wish to visit or live at such locales. The reason these so called ghosts, appear just like departed humans of the past is just like the way the demon came to me in my mind and visited the apartment those years ago, when my friend Ray had passed away, they are demons called Familiar Spirits, as they were familiar with the living humans when they lived upon the earth. This doesnt mean that while living, the humans were possessed or involved in the occult necessarily, its just that the invisible demons are quite probably around us all the time, but we cant see them. And if the humans were involved with the occult, or opened themselves up to the demonic realms, though alcoholism, drug use, seances, ouija boards or any other such states of mind and occult practice, they could of been actually possessed by the very same demons Familiar spirits that now pretend to be these same peoples ghosts.
The Holy Bible makes it pretty clear, that there are indeed spirit beings, both good and evil, but it negates the idea that the spirits of deceased human beings can remain on earth and "haunt" the living.
In Hebrews 9:27 it says: "...man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." That is what happens to a persons soul or spirit after death, the judgment. The result of this judgment is heaven for the believer and follower of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23), and hell for those who do not receive Christ as Savior (Matthew 25:46; Luke 16:22-24). There is no in-between, no stuck in limbo, no waiting around the earthly home, no walking along the road the accident happened at, or any other such crap. There is no possibility of a human remaining on earth in spirit form as a "ghost." If there are such things as ghosts, according to the Bible, they absolutely cannot be the disembodied spirits of deceased human beings.
The Bible teaches very clearly that there are indeed spirit beings that can connect and appear in our physical world. The Bible identifies these beings as angels and demons. Angels are spirit beings who are faithful in serving God or Satan as in the case of the rebellious, fallen angels. Corinthians 11:14-15 indicates that demons masquerade as "angels of light" and as "servants of righteousness." Appearing as a "ghost" and impersonating a deceased human being definitely seem to be within the power and abilities demons possess.
What about instances in which "ghosts" act in good ways? And, what about psychics that claim to summon the dead and gain true and useful information from them? Again, it is crucial to remember that the goal of demons is to deceive. If the result is a person trusting in a psychic instead of trusting in God, a demon will be more than willing to reveal true information. Even good and true information, if from a source with evil motives, can be used to form the demons ultimate purpose, to mislead, depress, oppress, possess and destroy.
Interest in the paranormal is becoming more and more common. Some of the top TV shows now involve Ghost Hunting and the Paranormal. The sci-fi channel offers Ghost Hunters, and Ghost Hunters International. The A&E Channel offers Paranormal State, DISCOVERY offered A Haunting, and there are other such shows on all the major networks, such as Ghost Whisperer, Medium, Most Haunted, and numerous others. Folks are being brainwashed and deceived into thinking that the dead can hang around as ghosts, I believe this is to trick people into the occult, by getting them to use ouija boards or tape recorders to gather EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena), holding Seances, Tarot Cards, and dabbling into other occult phenomena. The only thing such occult activity will ultimately do, is open the door that allows demons and fallen angels to manifest in the dabblers location and lives.
Most people are unaware of the true nature of the spiritual world, if only they would read and study the Holy Bible, they could easily become aware of what is going on. Sadly, instead of seeking this truth about the spirits by communing with God and studying His Word, many people allow themselves to be led astray.
