I like the show Ghost Hunters, because of their logical view on debunking a haunting. However, there are some things that they aren't so logical on.

For example, the Demonology section, and, in particular, this article. In it, it says that "During an investigation you need assess the situation more by what happened before you arrived than what is actually going on during the time you are there. Demons are capable of changing form right in front of you from a human form to an inhuman form." How do they know? Have they actually wittnessed this, or are they basing this "truth" from the Christian bible?

It seems that Ghost Hunters, while remaining logical on debunking ghosts, aren't so logical in the demon department. I'm caught between thinking that these people are complete idiots trying to look proffesional, to them actually being proffesional yet brainwashed.

While I do like the idea of demons, the possibility that they actually exist is minimal. Today, they are said to be evil spirits who were never human, and cast down from heaven. Ghosts on the other hand I believe could exist, as energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and conciousness, your thoughts, is energy.. and when your body ceases to function, this energy is released.

How do hauntings occur, then? Let's say you are sleeping in bed when all the sudden you hear someone break into your house. Your heart pounds in your chest as you see a figure with an axe from your garage in its hands. You are terrified.. the figure approaches, and you being too scared to move, are an easy target for the death blow. Boom, you're dead. What happens next? Your conciousness, spirit, whatever you want to call it, is released. Depending on whether or not you were satisfied with your life, and how traumatic your death was, your conciousness could linger at the scene. Or, it could have happened so fast that it wouldn't even know it was dead.. and thus, a haunting. The energy of the living's emotions would give your spirit energy to be able to do things, such as making noises or talking, so you could let yourself be known.
