If you are a Christian, this is what the bible teaches. Many people don’t know this.

GHOSTS

are you afraid
of ghosts wearing sallow sheets ~
buoyant floats of shrieks?

unbury the dead —
is that a bright idea?
their flesh in soiled suits

don’t dig up the past
nor nudge the burgeoning dirt
— arrest disturbance

somewhere their souls rise
righteous or with sinful pride
— don’t call the spirits

the bible makes clear
do not turn to mediums
— seek the living God

Isaiah 8:19 When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists,
WHO WHISPER AND MUTTER, should not a people INQUIRE OF THEIR GOD?
WHY CONSULT THE DEAD on behalf of THE LIVING?

Leviticus 19:31 Do NOT turn to mediums OR seek out spiritists,
for you will BE DEFILED BY THEM.

I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD.

How sad when people are at their lowest ebb and these mediums take advantage of their grief. Tom.
