Can you elaborate what "could they be ghosts as opposed to human spirits ."mean for me? I am a little bit confused and your theory is also interesting
It's extremely rare for a human spirit to remain on Earth after death , each soul travels to another realm along pathways irrespective of where you die on Earth the soul always follows these pathways . It matters not if someone is religious or spiritual or an atheist , after death the soul will travel to a destination and it is only through death that this will occur and not by a near death experience or an out of body experience. Interesting story of a boy who claimed he went to Heaven , he had a NDE experience and his book was on the New York Times bestseller list , turns out it was all lies , he made it all up to garner attention and obviously made some money .
Those that have a NDE do experience a floating sensation and some can look down on their own body watching others trying to bring the body back to life , if they succeed the soul enters the body .
With NDE why doesn't the soul continue on its journey since it has already left the body , a timeframe where the soul observe it's surroundings and confirms death before departing . If other forces come into play who control the soul's journey , do they differentiate between NDE and actual death and if they do it points to a higher intellect than Earth beings .
It has been stated that "ghosts" are souls that have been trapped on Earth through some terrifying experience and that they haunt their place of death , this begs the question "do souls have a choice wether to stay on Earth or continue their journey, " the obvious answer is no , souls don't have a choice , death occurs and the soul travels to its destination, however , there is one exception , demonic interference.
The demonic realm is in close proximity to Earth and at times demons will try to thwart the souls journey and I would add that this is a very rare occurrence, they may hinder the soul yet they cannot stop the passage as others come to the aid of the soul to allow safe passage to its destination.
Ghostly experiences may indeed be minor demonic entities rather than a powerful entity such as a djinn and no one on Earth has the power to bring one through yet they try nevertheless by using a pentagram , incantations and ejaculating on the cross of the crucifix .
Minor demons , for example, can be channeled through ouija boards and once they are summoned they stay within the confines of the Earth often inhabited within structures and can cause chaos if disturbed by throwing objects or slamming doors . They are invisible to the human eye and one could easily describe them as "ghosts" when in fact they are not !
It's interesting to note that the Catholic Church has all but ceased its exorcism program , I believe they are only a few priests in the world who can perform exorcism, does this mean fewer and fewer demons are being summoned, I certainly hope so !
