Why Do Ghosts Exist?by John W. Milor

During the reign of Lucifer, some members of his kingdom were angels, and some had not become angels yet. (Angels are not a species, but rather a level of existence or glory, that higher order beings are translated into, as will one day happen with humans that are saved. Explaining this spans beyond the scope of this article, though many of my other writings talk about it for those who are interested.) The interbreeding between the two categories of entities, i.e. angels and those who aren't angels yet, created a hybrid race the Bible refers to as Nephilim. Some of the demons that come from this first order of creation are therefore humanoid (deceased Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal), and some are half breeds; humanoid-angel hybrids. The Nephilim half-breeds of this first order of creation are particularly powerful, because some of them are so old. Who knows what knowledge or power they cultivated after living for thousands or perhaps even millions of years?
The later demons began at the time of Genesis 6, where we see angels mating with humans, and producing angel-human hybrids called Nephilim. The Hebrew word "Rapha" {raw-faw'}, or "Raphah" {raw-faw'}, used for giants in the book of Deuteronomy and Joshua in several places, is also the exact same word used for ghosts of the dead, shades, and spirits in numerous scriptures, such as Job 26:5; Psalm 88:10; Proverbs 2:18; Isaiah 14:9; and many others. The implication, therefore, is that demons are the ghosts of the Nephilim, at least in these passages.
To make matters slightly more confusing, Genesis 6:12 states that all flesh corrupted its way upon the Earth, suggesting that the fallen angels in Genesis 6 not only mated with humans, they might have also had their way with members of the animal kingdom, i.e. all flesh. Various possibilities can be postulated about this. First of all, we know from scripture that the fallen angels in Genesis 6 had an objective for the Nephilim. The intent of the Nephilim was to conquer the world through brute force. That's why God wiped out the entire Earth, including the animal kingdom. Recall from the scripture, the world was filled with violence. The majority of the Nephilim were genetically superior humanoid giants, also spoken of as men of renown. Many of them might also have been angel-animal hybrids, such as the legendary Minotaur, and other human-animal creatures spoken of in Greek legends and numerous mythos surrounding the globe. These legends have a basis in fact; the Nephilim inspired them. And just as the legends state, many of these beings also had supernatural power.
Some creatures we know of today, but can't prove they exist, such as Big Foot, and El Chupecabre, could be surviving angel-animal hybrid Nephilim. They are possibly able to evade apprehension because of supernatural stealth; but again, that's another article.
Were angels able to interbreed because of their glory, or was there some genetic manipulation going on similar to what we are starting to see in our own science today? Who knows, in a technologically advanced society of ultra intelligent beings, many of which were supernaturally empowered, just about anything is possible. In any case, we know what the end result was; a wide range of weird looking creatures, many of which were imbued with supernatural power, and ALL of which were INCREDIBLY evil!
So that's the story with the origin of demons, which far exceeds the scope of this article, but suffice it to say, demons are mostly humanoid ghosts, with a few exceptions, and in all cases, they're…ghosts.
To suggest that demons can roam the Earth and possess people, yet disincarnate human ghosts of people can't, is absurd. What would that prove, anyway? Besides, there's no scriptural support for such an argument.
