okay so I did look and did not see a topic like this...

okay so I kinda see spirits sometimes, and I was wondering what a spirit is?? I know about the angels and the demons.
I read that a spirit is a soul that has not passed over, but In the bible it says that everone has to go to heven or hell .... right ??

what do you think ??

I'm going with the Biblical situation but if there's a mystical reason for a spirit to linger then I'd say it's watching over some one special to them.

From Wikipedia:

The English word "spirit" has many differing meanings and connotations, but commonly refers to a supernatural being or essence â" transcendent and therefore metaphysical in its nature: the Concise Oxford Dictionary defines it as "the non-physical part of a person". For many people, however, spirit, like soul, forms a natural part of a being: such people may identify spirit with mind, or with consciousness, or with the brain.


The word comes from the Latin word spiritus, which means "breath".

You would see less spirits if you layed off the drugs for a while or your just confused and you need to see a psychologist for $100 an hour so he can tell you that spirits are not real.

A spirt is a soul that has not crossed over. They most popular reson that they dont cross over is because of unfinnished bussness. But no one can know.

If you didn't know what a spirit was, then how did you know you were "seeing" one.

Fail.

You have got to remember that no one goes to heaven or hell before Judgement day. Which in some sense offers the reason that spirits are souls that are trying to make their judgement turn for the better, or is left for looking after someone.

I saw weird stuff a lot when I was younger (my parents told me), so no trouble there.

And well, spirits are what spirits are. I can hardly believe they are souls, but rather imprinted expressions of a former life, if anything.
