Ghosts!?

This time of year it seems everyone is talking about ghosts and other scary stuff. Ghost stories are abundant in every town and it seems Salisbury has a few more than average. '

A couple of the most prominent ghost stories around town are the ghost in the Meroney theater, the ghost at Gravity Hill, and the ghost at Woodleaf Elementary School. There are several more...

Did you know there is even a ghost story in the Bible?? The story is found in 1st Samuel 28:6. Saul is in trouble and has always sought advice from Samuel but he is dead. Saul goes to a fortune teller. The fortune teller tells Saul that she sees a man coming from the earth and he automatically assumes the man is Samuel. The preacher said that anyone can be a fortune teller- the people who seek there help tell them what they are searching for and the fortune tellers say that is what they see.

Tony says that there is no such thing as ghosts. To be absent from the body is to be in heaven or hell. Spirits don't just stay around on earth.

However, the holy ghost is very real! This is the form that God comes down to us in. Even the Apostles Creed says we "Believe in the Holy Spirit, Communion of Saints," etc.
