"Ghosts", if real, are not what most people think they are. The Bible tells us that the dead know nothing...that when we die, we go into a sleep like state and have no contact with the living world and remain there until the day of reckoning. Therefore, those which are considered ghosts must, by definition, be demons. Islam contends that the soul of the dead is in Barzakh a state between life and the hereafter and cannot go back to life but must wait until a day of reckoning and calling forward to the hereafter; paradise or Hell. However, There is also the belief in Islam that a dead soul can communicate with a living soul during sleep, as it is believed in sleep that the living soul departs Dunya (life) and briefly experiences death. Follow the link. Many other world religions hold to similar views and a few hold the opposite view. A pagan might say that ghosts are an energy of the deceased being that are bound to the earth plane for some reason. However, it is universally held that anyone who claims to be able to communicate with a loved one, in exchange for money or kind, is a charlatan and is to be avoided at all costs.
