Ghost phobias Necessary or Unecessary?

Okay, I've realized that I have a serious anxiety problem. I'm for one scared of the dark..so I sleep with a lamp on ever single night. But even worse than that I have a big fear of ghost. If we want to get specific it's called Phasmophobia. Ick, the name is scary in itself. But i literally lay in bed at night praying that some odd demonic spirit doesn't try to come haunt me. Strange? I think so too.

A common fear of people is haunted buildings, believing that paranormal activity is there. Of course this fear of spirits is increased by the world wide web by videos, photos, and spooky stores. But what about the more credible unexplained proof. The question is WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY!?!




As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house , neither shall his place know him any more ." Job 7:9-10


In my twisted brain, I interpret this as him saying that once you die, you are in your grave awaiting for him to call you up. Awaiting in your grave.


On the other hand, Aren't angels and demons spirits? Aren't angels and demons real?


Revelation 12:4 seems to indicate that Satan took one-third of the angels with him when he sinned. Jude 6 mentions angels who sinned. The Bible indicates that the demons are fallen angels who, along with Satan, rebelled against God.


See...so God also says that there are angels, and demons. Does this mean that Angels and demons are not ghosts? Is there really a difference?


Wikipedia states: that ghost is said to be the apparition of a deceased person, frequently similar in appearance to that person, and usually encountered in places she or he frequented, the place of his or her death, or in association with the person's former belongings. The word "ghost" may also refer to the spirit or soul of a deceased person, or to any spirit or demon.


and it also states:The English word "spirit" comes from the Latin "spiritus" (breath). The term is commonly used to refer to a supernatural being which is transcendent and therefore metaphysical in nature.


On that note I'm gonna let you ponder on what you've read..
So....what to believe. I do not know. Any thoughts on this feel free to post up.


BOO.


The funny thing is, is that i freak myself out just researching this stuff. lol
