Join me as I recall a story of a woman who had told me about a ghostly infestation in her home involving ectoplasm.

I also discuss the Catholic belief in Ghosts.

The biblical basis for the intercession of Saints is that the Mystical Body of Christ is not separated between the living and the dead, and those in Heaven are alive in Christ and await their glorious resurrection. The righteous who are found to be justified in Christ are not in a state of soul sleep or oblivious to the world of the living as St Paul mentions a great cloud of witnesses and Revelation mentions the cries of the marytrys who await justice on their persecutors who are amongst the living. Another example is during the transfiguration of Christ Moses, and Elijah appeared. Moses is deceased, and Elijah, like Enoch, was assumed into heaven and is still alive. Enoch and Elijah are believed to be the two witnesses in the end times. According to dogmatic tradition Mary is considered to have been assumed after her Dormition (death) this is based on historical writings such as the Protovangelium of Saint James, and a reference in Revelation to the woman given wings of an eagle could be considered a reference since the same St John who was given the care of Mary is the author of Revelation. Matthew 22:32, Hebrews 12:1, Revelation 5:8, Revelation 6:10, Matthew 17:1-8, Mark 9:2, Luke 9:28-36, Revelation 12:14.

Purgatory and praying for the dead is mentioned in the Bible by St. Paul and in 2nd Maccabees. 1 Corinthians 3:15 and 2nd Maccabees 12:39-48.
