Ghosts?

I believe "ghosts' are demons and they are highly skilled at impersonating human beings that have died.

I find that kind of unsettling knowing what I know because I know that once you do finally reach that point you will be forced into a realm filled with nothing but "ghosts" or spirits. You will literally be in a hell of your own making thinking that god has somehow punished you for something and has thrown you into the pit with the "demons". Just remember, some of them are in fact there to help you. They are not demons, they are just spirits of the dead.

Your perspective is fascinating, but I really don't think any human can accurately understand the spirit realm without the Creator God revealing the information. I believe He has done so in the biblical scriptures and there are warnings against attempting to make contact with the deceased because they are not really dead loved ones, but demons bent on deception and harm. Jesus Himself told the parable of the rich man and Lazarus which clearly indicated that the spirit/soul of a dead human being cannot make contact with those still living.

About the closest thing I have seen to a demon was something that I could only describe as an Incubus. I was lying in bed just about to fall asleep when next thing I know, out of nowhere this bright red demon-like thing jumped on top of my bed, grabbed me and started shaking violently. At the moment my whole body was paralyzed and I could not shake this thing off of me. I ended up saying something to the regards of "In the name of Jesus, go away!" and just like that it went away. It was only about the size of an 8 year old child, but had the strength of at least two full grown men. This was the first and only time I had ever seen one of these creatures. My girlfriend said she actually seen one of these creatures as well when she was 13 years old while she was attending a cadet camp. I was about the same age when I had my experience. She said she was awake at the time but lying in bed. She watched as this little demon-like thing literally jumped from one kid to the next as they were sleeping. It eventually made it's way over and jumped onto her bed. She said it appeared rather startled when it realized it was being watched, so the thing just hissed at her and took off. These things don't walk, they just jump around or kinda hop from one place to the next. Other than that she's never seen any other demon-like things or angelic-like things for that matter in the earth-bound realm.

Something similar happened to me, except it was in the middle of the night so I don't know whether or not it was a dream. But I was held down by something that looked like a woman (but I could tell was not quite that) and was at least the same size as me... it was pretty terrifying

I once covered my face with the blanket, trying to sleep, until I ran out of breath and as soon as I uncovered my face I saw a human figure flying on front of me. It was too dark to see any facial features, but it had long hair.

I covered my face again and I swear I felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest beating hard.

I stayed covered for hours and I didn't care if my breath goes completely. Well until it did, I uncovered little by little and it was not there. Now, if it was real, then it left probably because of the tons of prayers I said with covered... or maybe because it lost interest after the hours I was covering my self.

Until now I'm trying to figure out what it was. Was it an illusion cause by the dark or the ceiling fan? Was it real?

No idea :(

We live in central Alberta and at the moment there is a huge search for a missing 5 year old boy and his grandparents. Police found blood at the house and signs that all 3 were taken by force against their will. I asked my girlfriend if she could contact Andrew to see if it was possible that he could locate them. Well, she finally got hold of Andrew and he looked for those missing people. He said he was unable to locate them anywhere because apparently they must all still be alive and he cannot locate the living. He says he can only locate the dead. So that at least is a good sign.

Both yours and Samosasauce encounters sound like the Hag. From what I've heard they are not nice. I asked my grilfriend about them and she says she's never actually seen one before.

I believe your experience above and the fact that whatever was violently attacking you left when you told it to go away in the name of Jesus validates the biblical information given concerning demons and that they must submit to the power and authority to Jesus Christ. I also believe the "Andrew" that your girlfriend makes contact with is definitely a demonic being and she is dangerously fooling herself to think that such a being is benign.
 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Perhaps she's unconsciously afraid by something incarnate by ghosts. Or if she isn't scared they're just a mirror of her thoughts.
Or she takes drugs, I don't know.

I'll give you another example.
My uncle frequently talks with deads.
He knows that they're just hallucinations, due to the sense of loss, but in these voices he hears his mother, his father, my cousin, his best friend like they're real, and he can't stop them.

That would be my definition of an actual real ghost.

Andrew is in no way shape or form a demonic being. As far as me mentioning Jesus Christ, well...I was 13 and it was all I could think of at the moment. I could have just as well said "Leave!! In the name of Odin!" and it would have worked just as well. Ever since I stopped going to church and abandoned that notion of Jesus Christ or the christian faith, I stopped being bothered or affected by these things altogether. Why? Because I realised that they are NOT demons and they could not harm me. Sure they can give you a pretty good scare sometimes, but that's about all they can do. I also came to the realization that the bible is mostly false as well. The reason highly religious people can be so affected by these "demonic" things is because they give them that power. Their own belief is what gives them that power. When you no longer believe they are demons, they become nothing more than harmless nuisance spirits. Now whenever something such as this troubles me I just say "Go away!!" in a stern voice and bat them away like mosquitoes.
