What is a ghost?

People like to discuss ghosts, and they are full of curiosity about the unknown. In ancient times, we had a collection of stories such as Sou Shen Ji, Liao Zhai Zhi Yi Tang Legend, Reading Wei Cao Tang Notes, etc. to tell you about karma. In the West, there are religious stories that use demons to scare you. . Later, the film industry developed, and people made ghost movies when they had nothing to do. Generally speaking, Japanese ghosts are unjust ghosts who can’t let go of their obsessions. South Korean ghosts are very pitiful. Unfortunately, in China, because we need to advocate atheism, so ghosts are all ghosts. It is the so-called ghost in the heart that I imagined. In the West, although thousands of years have passed, ghosts are still divided into ghosts and demons who have not gone to heaven and wandered the world.
The interesting thing about The Conjuring 2 is that the ghosts who were lost in the world and the demons from hell were put in the same house. People began to be scared half to death by the lost souls, but later found out that the ghosts were also used by the demons involuntarily. . In fact, when I saw the exorcism scene where the seemingly powerful demon was recognized and the name was pronounced and then screamed and fell back to hell, I thought it was very funny. If exorcism is so easy, teach the exorcist in the movie "The Exorcist". What a relationship between priests and scholars. However, the director's Asian style can be clearly seen by the name of "Fu Mo", because in East Asia, the name always has a special meaning, and in many cases it almost represents the person himself. Our witchcraft probably uses the name and the birth date. Yes, Chihiro in Chihiro can't find herself if she loses her name.
But what the hell is a ghost, is it the old spirits on the Sanshengshi who haven't drank Mengpo soup still infatuated with this world, or is it a small-eyed guy who was wronged in his lifetime and can't let go of his obsession and wants to stay here to make trouble? No matter how you say it, if the person closest to you dies, suddenly ghosts are not scary anymore, ghost movies were originally used to scare people, suddenly you can watch fake ghost movies with a real ghost It's also funny.
In the Orthodox Church, it is said that in the first seven days after death, people can do whatever they want in any corner of the earth, visit relatives and friends during the first forty days, and go to heaven after forty days. Islam says that people sleep in the same place after death, and will not be awakened until the end of the day. Buddhism, which we are familiar with, tells us that your soul will be continuously reincarnated. In short, the soul will leave the world before death, so the so-called ghosts are probably straying outside the law, insisting on staying in the world they were once familiar with, and even doing mischief. If you think about it this way, ghosts are really hateful. There are foxes that don't harm people but there are ghosts that don't harm people.
I was introduced to a psychic Singaporean colleague of mine. She said that ghosts who stay in this world wear clothes, and they can wear the clothes they liked during their lifetime. So the haunted vintage incidents are probably like this: one day you get a very well-maintained genuine vintage lone copy, but it is actually the clothes that the master loved especially in his life. When he died, he also thought about wearing it, and suddenly felt that the clothes were on the body. How could the real copy of Yang Shijian be bought and worn by others? If this ghost is a bad person or is very careful, he may come to complain about you.

Souls who have become angels are probably allowed to visit the human world. My psychic colleagues said that the wood god will still come to see me. If I cry, he will be unhappy, let go.
