Most people acknowledge Jesus as a great teacher if not the greatest teacher of all time.

In the story of the death of his close friend Lazarus who was dead 4 days before Jesus went to raise him Jesus described the state Lazarus was in (death) to his disciples as "sleep". Numerous Bible passages describe death as sleep and that "the dead know nothing" (Ecc9:5) according to King Solomon, a man considered one of the wisest men that ever was.

With that in mind the *phenomena* of 'ghosts' though very real is clearly not one of the 'spirit' of dead 'people' walking the earth and interacting with the living but of demonic deception who have the ability to appear 'even as an angel of light' scripture says of Satan himself.

Just sayin' .... if "it's going to Biblical" and all.

Lazarus's story also seems to refute the notion that anyone goes to Heaven (or "hell") immediately upon death. If Lazarus had, there certainly would seem to have been an account of such experience.
