What is a Ghost?
Some of the questions covered in this webinar:
1. What are ‘ghosts’? Are the ghosts we perceive demons or are they souls stuck in purgatory?
2. Can demons pretend to be a ghost?
3. How do you discern a ghost versus a demon?
4. Are they attached to places?
5. Can/do ghosts affect the area that they are in? I’m think of all the “ghost shows” where they “show” a temperature differential or some “electromagnetic” differences?
6. If you think you encounter one, what should you do? Pray? Specific prayers?
7. Can ghosts be our intercessors?
8. How to navigate ghost shows on tv, what’s real, what’s not?
9. At one point can one develop a unhealthy fascination with such things?
10. Ectoplasm: real or fake?Please consider subscribing!

English began as a Germanic language with a sprinkling of Romance language for technical terms after 1066. Thrall vs. Norman Lords.
Therefore, it is normal that the Church use ‘spiritus’ in Latin for the liturgy, and ‘ghost’ for the English vulgar tongue, or vernacular. German ‘geist.’
On the hoof, Germanic thrall words of the ordinary people. Cow.
On the plate, fancy French. Beef.
That sums up barbaric English as opposed to civilized French.
No mystery there….
@Dante Alighieri Yes, but before they were Catholic customs in a Catholic country ie. Holy Ghost in England.
Beware of false archaeologism condemned by Pius XII in Mystici Corporis. Older, especially if 'discarded older', is not always better.
"Why" something was discarded by the Church is the true litmus test...Intent.
"Holy Spirit" unfortunately has been tarred with a modernist brush but there is no inherent reason for this to be the case; it just "is."...
"Holy Ghost" sends a message: we respect the ancient customs and traditions of the Church as does "thee" and "thou." I have been in parishes where one side recites "you" and the other side of the aisle recites "thee" and "thou." Result? Cacaphony...
There is not right or wrong here regarding "Holy Ghost" or "Holy Spirit". Both are good and correct. The Church has always respected local immemorial custom and usage. Usage can change over time, of course.
