Ghosts. spirits etc

Not sure if thought forms can recognise each other.

Other then that I gave you my explaination of what I think demons and ghosts are.

A though form cannot make other thought forms because eventhough it has an impression of the emotions that made it it cant feel the emotion itself because it lacks the physical body. It only feels the need that the emotion represents.

Animals wont for example kill for no reason or except certain changes like humans do. There adaptation to enviroment is gratly limited from humans. I agree its there limited evolution that keeps them from human compexity.

So in another Forum i was in earlier I was observing how an atheist
was being bashed by so-called Christians and they just kept telling him a whole bunch of
stupid things. One guy mentioned something about spiritual powers and prayer and one
thing led to another and eventually ghosts and roaming spirits were being pushed back
and forth.

My question is to anyone here whether you're atheist, agnostic. Buddhist Christian or
whatever. What are your views on Spirits or ghosts or phantoms or I guess what anyone
else would call supernatural?
I mean I've heard stories of non-believers who claim that have seen an apparition and
now believe in supernatural beings. I read a comment form another guy saying that
Supernatural was just a way of describing what was hard to describe without mass visual
proof. On both sides people tend to agree or disagree on spirits or what not. Some
scientists claim to be able to track down such phenomena while Religious people pass it
off as a hoax and an attempt to scare people. and Vice Versa. What are Spirits? Are they
just some kind of life energy echo floating around? are they actual Souls? are they just
some coincidental form of energy that takes upon the appearance of a former living thing?

What do any of you have to say about this matter?

People believe in ghosts for similar reasons to why people may believe in UFOs. Aside from those reasons, people may claim to have seen a dead relative simply as a way of dealing with the grief. It is easier to get through a time of mourning, without serious emotional damage, if you can be convinced that the relation in question is not actually dead.

'Spirit' and 'soul' used have very different uses as words. Rather than exclusively being the immaterial, non-physical part of an individual, they were supposed to be the 'animus' which seperated organic matter from non-organic matter. It was believed that some kind of magical energy was needed to animate matter, and death happened upon the departure of this animating spirit. Now that the 'animation' of organic matter can be explained by complex chemical processes, souls have found a somewhat less verifiable role.
