Are Ghosts Real?
Yes and No
The common definition of a ghost is:
According to the scriptures, this is not possible:
Another definition however is:
It is apparent from Jesus’s ministry that demons are able to possess people and animals (Matthew 8:28-32), and that they can wander around (Matthew 12:43-45). If a demon can wander around it can certainly haunt a place.
Some ghosts are tricks or deceptions by other people, some ghosts are imagined by susceptible people especially during the division between sleep and awaking, and some ghosts are demonic activity, but dead people do not appear as ghosts.
If you are ever troubled by a ghost, there is a simple and 100% effective way to get rid of it. Call out the name "Jesus":
This method works no matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, and no matter how awake you are. Even if you are tongue tied and can’t get the words out, it still works.
Let Christ’s name become instinct to you, and you will never be troubled by demons, because they are terrified of Him and will flee even at the very thought of it. The name "Jesus" is the most powerful word there is.
Parents, teach this to your kids and they will never again be troubled by nightmares, or noises, or shadows in the night.

The common definition of a ghost is:
The spirit of a dead person, especially one believed to appear in bodily likeness to living persons or to haunt former habitats.
According to the scriptures, this is not possible:
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 - For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten. Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun. (NIV)
Job 7:8-10 - The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more. As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to the grave does not return. He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more. (NIV)
Another definition however is:
A demon or spirit.
It is apparent from Jesus’s ministry that demons are able to possess people and animals (Matthew 8:28-32), and that they can wander around (Matthew 12:43-45). If a demon can wander around it can certainly haunt a place.
