I have been to the Battle of the Little Big Horn State Park and I don't remember any place to stay around there. Were you in a motor home?
The record of the Saints, in this biography and that, over centuries and centuries, is of battle with the demonic. They didn't cower. They understood the evil, and the folly of the demonic. They prayed and spoke as Saints the Holy Name. They were beaten, injured, assaulted, etc. by spirits.
It's the superstitious moderns who fear the demons, in whatever form, whether visible or not, because they don't know what to do. They are not Saints, and may even REFUSE to confess God and His Church. 500 years of Protestantism, Revolution and then socialism had a way of doing that to the human race.
But the idea of ghosts and demons, of horrible odors and violent noises, even physical assaults by unseen assailants, are the very stuff of exorcisms, and again the lives of the Saints to whom the demons particularly were sent to make miserable, if it were possible.
"Absent from the body, present with the Father" They're demons. No doubt about it, IMHO.
Whoa! I never said that this was proof. I just repeated what I heard from a couple of scientists/physicists on a show some time ago.
Well, the scientists/physicists that spoke of this talked about the electrical energy that powers the heart and brain, not the static nutrients. There is no question that when we die this "energy" that powers our body changes form in some way. I don't pretend to understand this, but it is very interesting.
Well... don't let the dog play with the stovepipe!!!
They say the young do not rest. I believe it was a visit. You should not be scared. When my dad died three years ago I had the smell of his pipe tobacco in my room also I had a smell steak on the BBQ in the middle of the night. I have not had a visit since in smell but he does pop up in my dreams as a young and health man. :) I ask him to visit me. I'm sorry about your brother :(

Hi I love the Ghost pings! I wanted to mention two things:
1) One day many years ago, I came to the conclusion that the Ouija board I had was eveil so I threw gasoline on it and burnt it. As it was buring it hissed. Yes it made a hissing noise.
2) I found and bought a copy of the movie "THE SENTINEL" - Please get it. Its about a woman who moves into a house and meets many "neighbors". I dont want to spoil it but I will say that the movie has been scaring me since I was a kid but it also reinforces my strong belief of good over evil. Its inspiring to see the power and love of Jesus prevail over the most horrible of things. Its a great movie and its on DVD!
I've seen the Sentinel, and it's a very good movie. I may have to get that one on DVD. As for that hissing noise, I've heard the same from logs in my fireplace. I wouldn't read anything into that.
Great. get the DVD it has a couple of extra scenes that I dont remember formt the VHS.. Hissing wood sounds better that Satan thanks!
There was a show on the Discovery channel called "A Haunting in Georgia"
It was about a young girl that started to experience phenomena that scared them.
They contacted priests, psychics, etc, and most all agreed something strange was going on.
As part of the investigation, they brought in a local college scientist type, who set up all sorts of electical monitoring equipment.
The show was quite lengthy, and he was interviewed quite a few times. During all his interviews, he would blather on about electrical fields, gravity, psychological effects, etc. etc. He certainly made his case that he didn't in any way shape or form believe in ghosts or spirits.
Finally, in the last two minutes of the show, he has his last interview, and he says "We are forced to believe that after someone dies SOMETHING RESIDUAL REMAINS"
Totally blew me away when he finally admitted what others have felt for years. And quite alternative-open minded to have DC even ait the show.
Wow! Thanks, that was eerie.
Why there are no Black people in Ghost movies.
Dad: Honey we are so lucky. Great house. Great lawn. The best school system in the state. Nice neighbors.
Mom: Yup.
Spooky voice: GET OUT!
Dad: To bad we cant stay!
From author Dave Hunt:
"Man is a spirit living in a body through which he participates in physical events. The spirit in man distinguishes him from animals and makes it possible for him to know God. Neither man's body nor soul is in God's image, for God has neither. Man's spirit is in the image of God. Separation of man's spirit from God's Spirit brings spiritual death to man...
AT DEATH the body goes into the grave and 'the spirit shall return unto God who gave it' (Ecclessiastes 12:7). Taking the Bible as a whole, this can only mean that man's spirit is at God's disposal to be sent either to heaven or hell. The spirit of a dead person would not be floating about, haunting or appearing to those on earth, as the world of the occult would have us believe. 'Ghosts' can only be masquerading demons."
Any apparent communication from an alleged discarnate is taken as evidence [if believed] to support the serpent's lie that death is nothing to fear. Having 'proved' its identity, the alleged discarnate invariably proceeds to present...lies...that souls and spirits are free to flit about on the astral plane and have become communicators. One cannot believe in communication with the dead and at the same time believe in God's word:'...it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgement' (Hebrews 9:27).
For a fascinating read, pick up Hunt's book: 'Occult Invasion -- The Seduction of the World and Church'
