Hi, I’m not sure if this is in the right forum but forgive me if it isn’t.
Anyhoo, my uncle is a fallenaway Catholic and has this team who goes ghost hunting. This of course has me concerned. I’m seriously hope he goes to confession/mass/receives communion for his safety. 😦

Anyway, according to the Church’s teaching what’s the worse that can happen? Thank You.
God Bless you.
 
I felt I had to answer your post… Yes you are right to be concerned… But there is something you can do… Pray to the Divine Mercy for his conversion… I’m doing the same for my brother… This ghost hunting is all part of New Age deceptions… and the only answer to that is Prayer… My brother does nto know I am praying for him or that I have recently got a Mass said for hsi conversion… But " I " know and God knows and he will hear my Prayers and yours too… I will pray for your uncle… And I will pray to St Michael for his protection and I’ll ask St Michael to open his eyes and return to the true Faith
 
I ask your pardon but i had to add something … Whats the worst that can happen??? Deception and worse… replacing what is gold with lead… New Age practices are dangerous… your concern is not unfounded… I will have a Mass said for his conversion
 
The worst that can happen is that He will open the doors to the Occult, a deception by the Evil one.

If he is chasing ghosts, he may believe that the cross, bible, and other holy items will protect him. Thus get him to pray as a “weapon”. In reality, he will be praying for protection. Also pray for his protection and conversion.

Don’t worry, ghosts aren’t real. His mind not be safe, but his body is.

Peace be with you.
 
Your uncle is opening himself up to possible demonic influences. I don’t want you to be fearful, for the Lord tells us over and over again to “Be not afraid.” I would go talk to a good, wise priest about his situation and see what advice he has for you. Meanwhile, make frequent use of the Sacraments: confession and communion specifically to keep yourself strong in the Lord and protected. Also, pray the Rosary for your uncle–for his protection and for him to come to his senses. Pray also to St. Michael for your uncle’s protection.
 
Thank You. I try my best to say the Divine Mercy chaplet daily, as well as the rosary. I frequently go to confession, and If I could I would go to mass daily, but I go to mass weekly and receive communion weekly.

As for ghosts not being real, demons are. Someone mentioned demonic influence, which I believe could happen. (Heaven forbid).
 
Why do you say ghosts aren’t real? I thought the jury was still out on that. Ii thought some might be demons and some purgatorial souls. I would think a real danger would be demonic possession whether there was some type of manifestation or not. Hunting still opens the door. Of course purgatorial souls would not posses anyone nor could they but who can tell the difference?
 
Stay away from doing this. Ghost Hunting is not the kind of recreation any Christian should be participating in. I can’t claim to be an expert in theology but I do know what happens to your heart when you start down this path. It opens you up to all sorts of things that will influence you negatively.

When I started Ghost Hunting I was going to mass every Sunday and praying constantly, but with in a month I just started to lax. I can’t explain it. You get sucked in and it can ruin your life as well as your relationship with God. I know this sounds ridiculous but it’s what had happened to me and when i talked to a priest about it he said that it’s what happens to a lot of people. If there are ghosts leave them to God. We aren’t ment to know about it or look into it. If your not sure if you should go “ghost hunting” then you should pray about it. Pray about it until you get an answer.

My answer was to stop.
 
I am a ghost hunter I believe it opens the minds door of possessions
so go to a priest you trust the most and pray for gods help to keep in safe
ghost hunting is really really dangerous but it can help others after words,
[BIBLEDRB][/BIBLEDRB]

I wouldn’t worry so much though one of the lords words that was sed by him
was that don’t be afraid of the darkness in less you are in that path of what is evil.

so good luck to you and most importantly to your uncle
sorry if this isn’t the
best answer to this topic
 
i dont understand why anyone would say ghosts arent real and yet believe in spirits. I always thought ghosts were either demonic or from purgatory, and both make sense if you think about it. I know some people who ghost hunt but dont use any New Age practices because they know of what that can do. All these guys typically do is go into a location, get some video, and trying to get some recordings. Thats really it. I dont see what is evil in that, unless they use invocation or something to get evidence.
 
sorry to say but if your trying to get evidence of a spirit that happens to know who you are
and its a demonic spirit, it can do harm to you if your not careful,
that’s all [BIBLEDRB][/BIBLEDRB]
 
You bet they are real. All it takes is one encounter with evil and it will put things into perspective. Demonic spirits are very powerful and intimidating and can certainly lead one into a downward spiral if doors are opened

As it is written “All that has been called evil has only been called evil to conseal its holiness”

Abraham and the high preists were diviners but they didn’t want anyone else doing it. There is a reason for this. The church as one of the oldest instiutions is also the most superstitious and thrives on fear. Jesus said fear not. That’s the wrong spirit.

In ghost hunting you can tell a difference if something “evil” or not. Everything and everyone is not a demon.

No it’s not the right forum. This is a catholic forum. Nothing is known about “ghost hunting” you’ll get all the answers but no one knows anything. It’s like asking a doctor about law. You need to be directed to the right place. Unfortunately in the church everything is known yet nothing is known. That’s one of the most aggravating things to me as a catholic. The Church knows everything and wasn’t given the answer to everything.
 
I was going to say that their are a lot of spirits but yet their not always a demon so
like Jesus ones had sed before fear not
and I say do not fear of everything just a little fear can bring hope and faith: thumbsup:[BIBLEDRB][/BIBLEDRB]

I know the Catholic Church doesn’t like when people talk about the fact that they saw a ghost. Ghost are real because I saw one and no one not even a priest can tell me I didn’t. It’s like a sin if you say you saw one, that’s really a shame. The church needs to talk more about this, not less. I also saw some green mist in the street, it looked like electricity and it was 4am. At the time I was taking my son to work & praying for my dead brother. It was his birthday and I was praying the Hail Mary. Actually these are those reasons I do believe in God, so I don’t understand the Church. Ghosts are real, but hard to believe if you never saw one I guess.

I do think it’s the right forum, this is my point. I think if people see supernatural things it has everything to do with God. I don’t think it has to be the Devil. Look at the children of Fatima, they saw the blessed Mother. I don’t know what a spirit looks like, what I saw looked like a ghost. I probably would of been afraid if my husband wasn’t sleeping right next to me.
but, when I think back, I didn’t feel anyway like the ghost was going to harm me. Unfortunately, I believe in God more because of the spiritual things I’ve experienced than what I learned growing up. Growing up, the teachers in my religion class didn’t know how to teach because no one taught them either. I don’t know the bible and I don’t know too many Catholics that do understand it. We go to Church and don’t understand the things the priests are talking about. It’s sad the Catholic Church hasn’t been able to teach the religion. I did make a point on understanding what I can so that I can have some closeness to God. I feel I might love God & my religion more if I understood it. The Church needs to stop making us feel everything is a sin, that is just insane, outdated and I believe God is more with the program then the teachings.

The church is very superstitious. And has been down through the ages. I don’t like as a catholic to talk about the church but in this kind of situation you have to step back as an independent observer and understand there is something wrong here the church is promoting fear. Ghosthunting is known by professional ghosthunters and parapsychologists. You have to go by what they say.
