What does God say about ghosts?

This came up while playing Minecraft with friends. In the chat, my two friends brought up that they were alone, scared, and thought there was a ghost. I immediately responded that there is no such thing as ghosts which brought everyone else on saying yes there is, I have a friend who can see and talk to them, and I could talk to them when I was younger.... Then one of my friends who was alone wanted to call me. We talked and after a few times of me saying there is no such thing as ghosts, I looked it up. I got the perspective of God on ghosts. It said " if there are ghosts, they aren't the disembodied spirits of deceased human beings. The Bible teaches very clearly that there are indeed spirit beings who can connect with and appear in our world. They are identified as angels and demons." She then replied the Bible is lying! R u a Christian, I ask. She said yes, "then why do u say the bible is lying". "Bc it is" "no how can u say it's lying" "how do you know God wrote it" she replied. I wish I replied the words from here http://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/how-do-we-know-the-bible-is-true-is-it-really-the-word-of-god/

But instead of me saying anything bc I didn't have the answer I said I had to go and left the call. My friends are nice people but they get lost and I still got to push them back on track if it is what God wants from me. ~Lorena❤️

Family

12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

     We all have those days where we curse at a family member or say I hate you to another. We might say it because we are mad at them or someone else and just taking it out on them. It might be that you don't want to do something or they won't give you what you want.  I hear this a lot, having a brother with a anger management problem is hard. He gets so easily mad and doesn't realize that he cussed because he's so used to doing it. When you do it and you know it, it stays there like a ghost haunting you until you have done it so much it's like a drug. In school we are learning how drugs are hard to quit because of a part in your brain that's like a sweet tooth. Now telling lies, hitting, or cursing at someone is hard to quit but there is one way that we are accepted. In some simple words that relation could be better. The person might still hurt but you at least said this "I'm sorry for what I have done. Will you please forgive me?" The only way that the person might forgive you is if you actually mean it. The person might forgive you anyway even if you don't ask for forgiveness but it still would hurt them that they forgave and think you aren't sorry for what you did.
