On January 18, 2012, the SyFy channel network showed its 2nd episode, of the 8th season of their successful reality show Ghost Hunters. In this episode, titled, Buyer Beware, the Ghost Hunters went to two homes where the property appeared to be in distress due to paranormal activity. The second house featured in this episode was the Gardner mansion in Gardener, Massachusetts. The TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) team, in the second half of this episode, was rushing to the scene of a haunt where the owner was in severe distress with restless spirits. Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of TAPS introduced this case to the Ghost Hunters audience of being of great urgency. TAPS needed to find an answer to the haunts in the mansion or the current owner would sell the home to get out from all the torment that was being hyped up in this intro. Now if you were paying attention to the intro of the Gardener Mansion, the TAPS team already filmed an episode of Ghost Hunters on site at the mans...

Paranormal shows are on every popular cable network now, including Animal Planet (with the Haunted series). Paranormal is a cheap reality tv cash cow and audiences can't get enough of it. Some speculate the shows are faked others stay glued to the evidence being displayed with religious fervor. When we see a chair move or hear a disembodied voice on these shows what are really dealing with? Some say it is the proof of an afterlife. Is it? Are there really ghosts? Well, there must be we see them on paranormal reality tv, right? We must tread carefully, as Christians, when we answer these questions. What does the Bible say about ghosts?

I have been drawn into arguments by Christians, the first case is with 1 Samuel 28. Where Saul consults a medium for advice. From the NKJV, we have the encounter. And the woman said to Sau...

The biggest night of the year for Haunted Ghost walk tours is Halloween. And more popular than the ghost walks are going on site on Halloween with ghost hunters. Christians are being lured into the fascination of seeking proof of the afterlife by ghost hunting. This fascination, which is actually a dangerous obsession, has people blindly chasing proof of disembodied spirits. Christians who are participating in ghost hunting are seeking signs, just like the people of Jesus' and Paul's time did. Remember what Paul said about this? Remember what Paul said about the Greeks and their rationalization ( 1 Corinthians 1:22-25 )? They couldn't understand the miracle of the cross and its simplistic message. Ghost hunting is a demonic vice to separate the Christian from what we believe. We go to heaven or hell. We don't linger around as Casper the ghost because we fear judgment or have lost our way in the spirit realm  ( Hebrews 9:27 ). In the book of Luke ( 16:19-31 ) , we are ...
