ROSSIKE:

Dear poster. There's nothing that should be alarming about your friend seeing the apparition of her mum. It's actually a very common occurrence to see these so called 'ghosts'. It is indeed the ethereal/spiritual body of the mum being witnessed. Of course there's really no such thing as death, as we are ALL immortal spirits. Even animals are immortal spirits. Nobody really 'dies'. Once our physical body stops functioning, our spirit/consciousness departs from it and in most cases, returns to the 'spirit world' ie OUR TRUE HOME, shortly thereafter.

Now SOME people, when they pass away, are unwilling to 'let go' of all they knew and loved in this dimension - and may seek to remain on this plane, making appearances to their loved ones etc.. WHAT I advise you to tell your friend is this: Ask her to PRAY to her mum. Communicate with her telepathically the way she normally does to 'Jesus' etc. Simply tell her that she (ie your friend) is happy, safe, and content, and that it is OK for her (the mum) to move on, and return home to the Light. Tell the same to any other person experiencing her appearances. Before long the apparitions should cease. But it is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. If anything you should feel pity for the mother's spirit, who cannot let go. This phenomenon usually happens when the deceased died young, or violently, or unexpectedly. The shock of their unexpected departure compels them to 'hang around', or be in denial about their passing. (This seems to be the case here as well since she died 21 years ago, when she must have been quite young). But eventually, ALL spirits return to the higher realms.

Lastly, seeing her apparitions should also serve to convince your friend (and you) that all your deceased loved ones and friends are indeed, ALIVE, as you will surely be after you leave this physical plane.

Thanks.

toba: is it scriptural? or any scripture verse that supports this? Now what do mean by ghost? does the dead appear in the shape of a living being?

my 84 yr old grandma told me something along that line before but said when they do visit, some take water, hence the need to have drinking water at home
hahahahahahaha..hmm

TroGunn: The brain is the centre of intelligent life and controls bodily functions. Once the brain dies, the person is gone. Nothing escapes or survives thereafter - it would be without a brain anyways. So nothing like ghosts. Stop allowing the devil fool you.

Yomieluv: If seen in a dream,its normal,cos dream acts on the submind,but seeing in real life,to me makes no sense at all. What's the relationship btw. The dead,and the living.

Too many Nollywood crap,once a person is dead,he's dead both physically,and spiritually
may it be so to u in jesus name

Billyonaire: Dear OP, What ROSSIKE explained to you is 100% true. Do not be afraid, your dead relative has not come to terms with her death, she is still hanging on here, believing there is more she can do for you guys. 21yrs is a long time, you guys need to tell her to move on to the next plane of existence. May her soul rest in peace.
u follow.atleast there are stil few spirit scientists here

ROSSIKE:

Your ignorance stinks. That is why we say you people should drop that your stupi.d bible you carry around, and get some common sense into your skulls.

Africans have KNOWN for the last 10,000 years that the soul survives death as a matter of course. As a very natural process. Go and study your African history. This knowledge has been exhibited throughout ALL African cultures and belief systems. It was only in the last 200 years that some slave-seeking European colonialist chancers came in with some dubious ''holy book'' claiming that we had to believe in THEIR ''God'' first, before we could enjoy the most natural progression in the universe - the free and universal progression into the higher spiritual realms from the physical, enjoyed by every single living thing in the universe, since the very birth of life itself. Sadly, some Africans fell for their imperialist lies, and still do.

Meanwhile, it's been shown that the bible was put together by some elite Europeans who voted on its contents after being given MONEY: https://www.nairaland.com/1105578/realise-bible-compiled-via-vote

No doubt the money was shared round so they could create a ''holy book'' to confuse the people and hide from them their TRUE POWER AND IMMORTALITY.

I saw this thread,I didn't want to be involved in some ghosty discussions,but now moved to comment on this.. Well,then those 'European elites'must be the gods because the Bible is the benchmark,the reference point,the datum for ALL other books & learning in general.I will advice you to GET-A-LIFE!No one hate,fight against God's word,The Bible, ends well!

Re: Is It Normal To See The Spirit Of A Dead Relative? by patuwa2(m): 5:29am On Nov 20, 2012
Seeing the ghost of a dead relative is not abnormal. It is only persons that have direct experiences can explain the situation. Some person here have no experience, therefore they condemn it. They beleive that every thing that is not in the bible or that thier pastor has not said should debunked

booqee: Its not normal seeing any kind of spirit whether relative or not. Ghost don't exist..as far as i'm concerned! undecided

^Are u arguing based on experience or based on what you dont know?
Re: Is It Normal To See The Spirit Of A Dead Relative? by patuwa2(m): 5:41am On Nov 20, 2012
Billyonaire: Sometimes its best to say "I dont know" than to outrightly dismiss other people's encounter as in-existent, impossible or illusional. What is called Ghost, is actually our real identity. To experience life in the physical world, the 'soul' has to enter the body at birth, so the physical body is just a vehicle for the soul. At death, the soul's connectivity to the body via the silver cord is severed. The physical body loses consciousness which is an attribute of the soul and decays while the soul, which is conscious energy hovers around for a while or immediately ascends against gravity to ether. The degree of purity of soul determines his level of ascension on ether. Purer souls ascend higher, the denser souls (impure) dont go that far in the ethereal hierarchy. Ghosts are souls of dead people, that hover around the physical realm due to their emotional attachment to precious items, friends, relatives etc. Sometimes our attachments to dead loved ones keep them here. Ghost is real. If you havent seen one, its best not to wish to see. Sometimes I think ignorance is bliss, the more you know about the universe, the little you understand you know.

^Your head correct well well!

Only those who have experienced it can believe it fully. No need to argue.
This shows that those who see dat woman are spiritually attuned. The spirit might be trying to pass across a message, which when the young girl didnt undrstd, had 2 be revealed 2 d Aunt. Too bad that the aunt does not undrstd either.
Its a message.
Above all, let them pray hard. The message might just be revealed.

Stop lying about Satan.
It is your scriptures and doctrines that teach about life after death.
And wat did ur devil tot u abt it? Nonesense! Ur gona b rottin in hell if u dnt stp al dis ur 'verbal diarrhea'. God 4gv u.

Re: Is It Normal To See The Spirit Of A Dead Relative? by Hardfact: 5:56am On Nov 20, 2012
Topic quickly brings to the fore again every wind of doctrine.
It doesnt really make sense to deny that these things do happen. But to argue that its normal to be communicating with the dead, there's more to it. Some will even go ahead and tell you to go wake up your late loved one (or pray they wake) so you can continue to enjoy your relationship with them tho they are dead. May be they really do have a place here even after death, dont they? This calls to question what one does think about life, death, God, devil, spirits, eternity, heaven, hell, and so on.

Its normal, maybe she has something bothering her not to rest in peace or she didn't die a good death. They should talk to her to go and rest dat dy ve gotten over her.

CrazyMan: Seeing ghost, spirits, demons and devils as perfectly normal.

I myself I've seen lots of ghost and spirit on so many occasions.

Its normal if you ask me...however, if they feel they no longer enjoy the presence of the spirit, and they wish to discontinue the visits, then they would have dispose all the belongings of the dead relative the have in their possession..that's the only way the ghost would stop tormenting them.
maybe you have been watchng supernatural film series

Those people are being visited by a demon. They had better visit the synagogue church of all nations. Na there men de when fit do the deliverance.
Re: Is It Normal To See The Spirit Of A Dead Relative? by ceaz4r(m): 6:50am On Nov 20, 2012
If you have not seen ghosts, you won't believe there are ghosts, hence the sickly responses and remarks I see here. seriously, if you don't know about what is said, must you comment to show your low level understanding on issues? !!
@Op, tell your friend it's normal so long as the spirit is not violent. Tell your friend when next she comes, they should talk / speake to her. she may actually be trying to tell them something. She won't hurt them. If the woman was angry with them she would have been violent from start. Talk to the ghost. Though you may not hear her speak, she (the ghost) would certainly communicate some how. Good luck.

ijawkid: Satan and his demons are the ones who could make such things happen to decieve many that when a person dies he or she doesn't really die.......

But from the scriptures the dead are conscious of nothing at all......

Thats it, elements of one speaking the pure language

Is absolutely normal to see spirits. U as an individual can actually call up d spirit of d dead. 100% normal. But if u no wan see her again. Like craze boy said discard all her belongings. Dead people can actually lay hold of an item of ders u cherish as an excuse not to go in d oder realm but stick around here on earth.
If she was a cool spirit she can actually help protect u guys but if she was d violent unfrndly type is a no no.

First recorded lie in human history... The devil, the original serpent told Eve: "you will not die." Eve believed this...
Some years later Adam and Eve dies.
Another lie springs up to make the first seem true: "When you die, you really do not die. Humans have an immortal soul". Majority of humans believe this...
Why? Because the devil and his demons are willing and able to materialise (spirits can do this to be visible) in the form of a dead one to prove their point.
Their aim? Same aim the devil had when he lied to Eve -to make God seem the liar to humans.
From your posts here, the devil is pretty much succeeding... Sadly.

somtimes it does occur like that,but very rare. Not everyone could have the pure spirit to see the dead,it depend mostly on your spiritual development.in most cases where you have this appearances maybe she wants to communicate with you or to send you a warning message to avoid a trap which you never notice. Tell her to pray to God to strenghten the spirit to deliver the message by that i hope she will come through the dream. If she never give her time to say it in reality she may dissapear 4ever. Note ..one on one conversation is not advisable coz it may affect your mental stability¡ Unless you have metaphysical power. Just Pray to God...
Re: Is It Normal To See The Spirit Of A Dead Relative? by fluxbush(f): 8:07am On Nov 20, 2012
Many of us are so eager to use the Bible as a reference to prove that spirits do not exist.Now I am going to use this same Bible to ask questions.
When King Saul wanted to ascertain the fate of his army in the coming battle,he searched around for a medium who could summon the spirit of Samuel.The questions here are (1).If spirits do not exist as we say,why would the King go to much trouble to summon him?
(2).For those who say that demons are the ones who use our loved ones' images to appear to us,I dnt want to believe that a demon would have been so good as to tell the King that he had sinned against God and so would lose the battle.We all know the devil's mission is to deceive people.
Anyway,I am not saying spirits do exist but we should keep an open mind.No need being so narrow minded.

LIES! LIES! LIES!

Your god told Adam and Eve that they will die the day they eat the fruit. Satan said "no true". They ate it and didn't die on that day. Who was lying?

Genesis 2:17

17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”
Re: Is It Normal To See The Spirit Of A Dead Relative? by advocate666: 8:30am On Nov 20, 2012
true?:


Yes you are still 10,000 years behind the times. The Bible was not written by elite Europeans.

The front part was written by men chosen by God in Hebrew. The back part was written
by men who knew Jesus, and written in Greek. These two sections were written on
Scrolls

King James had these two parts written into English in book form.
And yes, over time some religious leaders made changes to this book.
One has but to go back to the scrolls to see what they changed.

The near death experience people have had is common among all humans. If they had truly been dead, they could not have come back to life.
The medical field knows little about the human brain. They are still learning.
When men thought the earth was flat, the Bible described it as a ball in space, suspended by nothing.
Men went to the moon, and came back with samples of rock, and soil. The science world concluded, “It appears the moon is nothing more than a big reflector of light.”
They could have read the Bible, and saved their self the trip/ The Bible says, “The moon is there to reflect light upon the earth.”

One thing you do have correct..."Religious leaders lie, and they are doing it for money."

Need I go on, and on?

No need to go on because the nonsense spilling from your keyboard is madenning.
First you construct a straw man argument about who wrote the bible when the other person was talking about who put together, the many books that form the bible. Two seperate set of people.
Then you start attributting to your bible things it did not say. No wonder you are not able to reference your assertions. The gullible will actually believe your nonsense.
Where in the bible was the earth described as a ball in space, suspended by nothing?
Where in the bible did it say that “The moon is there to reflect light upon the earth.”?
