Evidence of the Paranormal and Ghosts

Ghost hunting is not a science. Out of all the individuals and/or groups of ghost hunters in existence, very, very few actually have any experience with the scientific method or have any experience actually conducting experimental research.

Still, many groups will tell you that they have photos and audio of what are spirits; evidence of ghosts. As far as I am aware, there is no scientific evidence of the existence of ghosts or an afterlife. That is a question of faith at this point in time. If somebody knows something I don’t, please let me know!

There are some people who do not believe in ghosts, while maintaining a strong belief in demons. The question many people have is “Is there a difference in ghosts and demons?” In this article we will look at the two subjects and the differences in the two.

While ghosts are believed to be the apparition or appearance of people that are no longer living, demons are widely believed to be angels formerly of God or “fallen angels”. Ghosts are not generally thought of as having an influence on the balance of good and evil in society, while demons are. Demons are deeply rooted in religion and mythology and can be traced all the way back to the ancient Sumerians. Ancient tablets told stories of demons, demonic possession and contained prayers to gods asking to be protected from demons. The Sumerians believed that all illness was caused by “sickness demons”. Demons are widely believed to have the ability to inhabit the bodies and assume control of humans and in some cultures, animals. This event requires an exorcism to aid in the removal of demons. While ghosts are believed to be “channeled” willingly by mediums or psychics, humans are said to have absolutely no control over demonic possession.

Mothman – Alien from another world, or a being from the spiritual realm

Mothman remains one of the most paranormal of all the creatures of Cryptozoology.

More than a film or the 12 foot tall, stainless steel sculpture on display in downtown Point Pleasant in West Virginia, Mothman is a strange creature seen in the United States between November 1966 and November 1967, appearing several times in West Virginia, on the border with Ohio.
