More Information about Ghost
The term used for ghost in religious aspects is a Holy Spirit. There are two ways of thinking about the Holy Spirit, as per the theologian Rudolf Bultmann: “animistic” and “dynamistic.” It is an “independent agent” in animistic thinking.
FUNNY FACT IS WITCH IS THE WIFE OF GHOST.
A personal power that can descend on a man like a devil, take ownership of him, empower him to render or compel him to perform power manifestations while in a dynamistic thought “it seems as an impersonal force that fills a man just like a fluid”.
All thinking exist in the scriptures of the Jews as well as in the Christians but animistic in the Old Testament is more conventional, whereas dynamistic in the New Testaments is more common.
In the Quran the Holy Spirit is referred four times, as an instrument of divine action or communication Whereas in Christian and Jewish traditions there are similarities with the Holy Spirit, it is unclear whether these four references relates to the same Holy Spirit.
General myth is that ghost is the spirit of a dead person which is too faint that anyone can hardly see. Ghost of something is usually a bad memory of it that sticks somewhere in the brain. Ghost comes as a shadow or very pale vision.
