What are ghosts? Are they truly the disembodied spirits of the dead coming back to pay a visit, seek revenge, or merely do good deeds? Many people believe in ghosts—good ghosts, and bad ghosts alike.
There are even recent news reports discussing frightening happenings involving ghosts and demons! Cryptic headlines, from Alcatraz Ghost Caught On Camera, Couple Claims to Haunted house’s ghosts ‘ATTACK’ news crew: Cameraman is ‘scratched and burned’ while filming story about US home’s demons How could one not believe in the presence of ghosts?

But what does the Bible say about ghosts?
According to GotQuestions.org, ghosts are merely demons striving to deceive people, and I agree!
But the Bible negates the idea that the spirits of deceased human beings can remain on earth and “haunt” the living. Hebrews 9:27declares, “Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” That is what happens to a person’s soul-spirit after death—judgment. The result of this judgment is heaven for the believer (2 Corinthians 5:6-8;Philippians 1:23) and hell for the unbeliever (Matthew 25:46;Luke 16:22-24). There is no in-between. There is no possibility of 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 who can connect with 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. Angels are righteous, good, and holy. Demons are fallen angels, angels who rebelled against God. Demons are evil, deceptive, and destructive. According to2 Corinthians 11:14-15, 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 that demons possess. The closest biblical example of a “haunting” is found inMark 5:1-20. A legion of demons possessed a man and used the man to haunt a graveyard. There were no ghosts involved. It was a case of a normal person being controlled by demons to terrorize the people of that area. Demons only seek to “kill, steal, and destroy” (John 10:10). They will do anything within their power to deceive people, to lead people away from God. This is very likely the explanation of “ghostly” activity today. Whether it is called a ghost, a ghoul, or a poltergeist, if there is genuine evil spiritual activity occurring, it is the work of demons.
Are you confused by the fact that some ghosts have been reported as doing nice things? Well, GotQuestions.org adds:
What about instances in which “ghosts” act in “positive” ways? What about psychics who claim to summon the deceased 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 that people trust in a psychic instead of 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 mislead, corrupt, and destroy.
With all the deception taking place in the world right now, we must be watchful and wise to the enemy’s games so that we are not led astray on a path which leads to sorrow and death. There are so many news reports over the past few years about ghosts, hauntings, demons that it doesn’t take much for one whose eyes are truly open to see exactly what’s going on.

“Exorciiiiise the demons.”
If you saw a ghost, you’ve been tricked. They are just things that people see. I don’t know where they come from after reading this article. The bible is a good reference for the people that seek truth even though the bible was made by evil people. although the evil people hide stuff in the bible, you have to find it.
Why would the evil people do that? I will never know.
Now here’s the real thing:
Did you realize that alien/human genetic experiments by our government with reptilian aliens may have been going on for years? Find out what the aliens are doing with what they take from cattle mutilations in the underground Dulce Base – this is not science fiction, this is so much worse!

Its not a demon but merely an organism that projects fear{negative signals in this case} to keep you away, survival of the most intelligible you might say.
The shadow is time/motion shadowing.
Your video is made from here, so why would here not already be-able to do it, being ones stuff is an extension of it, here an it being the planet btw….
So the machines eventuality is for the living body se, of terraqyh, earth.
To the traveler, you ain’t disguised anything, you was ALWAYS, in reason, for the way it is…
