Andrew —
We are immortal. Death happens when
our souls leave our bodies. Our souls
continue to exist until the end of
time, when our bodies will be resurrected
in a new state. Meanwhile, the soul
is in:
If a soul in Heaven manifests, by
God's permission, it appears in glory
in a vision or apparition.
If a soul in Purgatory manifests,
it would be as a spirit, as would
a soul in Hell.
All human souls are ordained to matter (their bodies) and some souls who
are not yet free of earthly attachments
or needs are doing their Purgatory in connection with some location
on Earth.
These can manifest as ghosts. An
evil spirit can manifest in a place
also, but this is not considered
ghostly activity, but demonic activity.
If you are experiencing paranormal
activity:
- have the place blessed by a
priest or deacon, and
- say prayers for any souls that
might be attached to the place
and seeking peace.
If that does not stop it, seek out
an exorcist or a priest who will
say special prayers.
