Hello

Hello Dianek,:)
First, I wanna say that I have just read your dream and I feel that it is a vision that must have meaning and it could be a messege from Allah. I have a feeling that if you make good use of this messege, we will soon hear very good news about you inshaa Allah.

Second, I do not know what "taking your first Ghost Hunt" means! Can you explain this to make it easy for people here to answer your question?

Take care

We are going to a cemetary here in Richmond with digital voice recorders and digital cameras to see if we can capture the images and voices of "ghosts" and the paranormal. Maybe communicate if possible.

Salaam Diane,

In Islam we do not believe in "ghosts" as we believe people are in the grave and cannot get out and wander around. We do believe in Jinn which are also creations of Allah but made of "smokeless fire."

There are good Jinn and bad Jinn but we basically are discouraged form trying to communicate or interact with them. Some mislead individuals have actually tried to harness Jinn to perform for their own purposes and this ends badly. The scholars have stated that what we think are "ghosts" are actually mischievious Jinn trying to misguide humans. (these would be bad Jinn in this case) Personally I think ghosts hunts are opening yourself up to some dangerous stuff spiritually thinking...I believe a lot of Christians denominations teach this as well. If it were my choice I would not do this and be on the safe side.

Hello Dainek,

I just wanted to say you are very brave if you are really considering doing this, especially after the dream you just had. Perhaps your dream was a sign that you shouldn't mess with the demons.

I pray that Allah guides you to the right path Inshallah.

Peace2u

ghosts are not true if you follow Islam. However i have heard the theory that ghosts are to do with the psyche. For example someone has a repressed memory and is then 'haunted' by something. There is a guy on telly here in the UK called Derren Brown, he makes people see ghosts and do things but it is all psychology! I kind of believe that theory.....i think if you are scared enough of something your imagination can be so vivid it conjures up an image of what you fear.

Maybe, but it is hard to argue with Electronic Voice Phenomenon and pictures of forms and orbs.....that is physical....I tend to watch too much "America's Most Haunted" episodes and WAS planning a trip to Salem, Mass this past October for Halloween....hoping to stay in a haunted hotel and to attend the various festivals and museums related to the history of the Salem Witch Trials........didn't make it though. Guess that I wasn't supposed to be there.

Salam,

Personally I see ghosts as a form of a spirit and a spirit can also be called a Jin, so when we are told to believe in the unseen that means I also believe in ghosts.

Spirits live amongst us and there have been many posts about spirits that have entered people’s bodies, and where an Imam has been called for them to be removed from people with Allah's permission of course.

Of course there are spirits in cemeteries, why wouldn’t there be. People who refuse to believe this are just too scared to admit it.

Salam
