Spirits of the Dead—Can They Help You or Harm You? Do They Really Exist?

Spirits Have Not Lived and Died on EarthSpirits exist! Within the invisible spirit realm, there are both good and bad spirits. Are they persons who have lived and died on earth?No, they are not. When a person dies, he or she does not pass on to the spirit world, as many people think. How do we know this? Because the Bible says so. The Bible is a book of truth that comes from the only true God, whose name is Jehovah. Jehovah created humans; he well knows what happens to them when they die.—Psalm 83:18; 2 Timothy 3:16
