I agree ...... demons can mimic the likeness of a deceased person for all sorts of reasons. They have fun scaring people in old houses but the #1 reason they "haunt", imho, is to discredit the Bible on its teaching about Heaven and Hell.

My dear parents were unbelievers as far as I know {there's always hope a person may have quietly called out to Jesus at the end}. After my Mom died, my grieving Dad swore emphatically that she would sometimes be standing in the living room, smiling, surrounded by a beautiful glowing light. He told everyone who'd listen that it was no illusion .... that her spirit was really there. He was certain she had come back to comfort him. As an unbeliever at the time I was skeptical but kept an open mind.

A few months later I was saved and learned what paranormal apparitions really are. I had a talk with my Dad -- gently telling him it wasn't my Mother he had seen but a cruel deception by Satan meant to confuse him. I explained that God does not allow the dead to visit the living, and that their eternal destiny is in God's hands depending on if they had faith in Christ or not.

With tears streaming down his face, my sweet Dad heard the Gospel.....all because a demon decided to mess with him. I can't say for sure if he eventually gave his life to Christ at some point but a couple of times when I popped by his house I "caught" him listening to preaching on Christian TV or radio.

a week ago I went to the mountains of Colorado with some friends, one of whom preaches. He's a creationist big into 'trying to' refute evolutionists... I said to him, 'you know why you creationists hardly ever look good in an argument with an evolutionist?' 'No, why?' he asked. I said, 'because evolution’s premise is the repudiation of the existence of G-D. Therefore it's excelling is very important tosatan, therefore evolutionists, particularly the fervent ones, are closely watched over and protected bysatan. he gives them the belief system and arguments to discredit wishy-washy counter arguments, probably assigns a personal imp to plant thoughts and words in times of debate. Creationists end up arging of their own limited resources against timeless spiritual entities with unlimited resources for lies and arguments.'I asked him, 'you ever heard of a creationist binding the evolutionist's demon before engaging the evolutionist?' (he’s of that anti-spirit denomination, went right over his head). 'No, actually, I never have', he said. I told him, 'that’s the trouble, none do, in fact it doesn't even occur to them, I've never heard of one doing it.' I told him to try it the next time he's confronted,.. and, at the same time, ask the HS to give you the thoughts and words you need. 'You'll find out that even the best of evolutionists become disarmed when his protective demon is gagged and a particularly poignant point is raised in the discussion (as planted by the HS).'
