In the Nine Lessons and Carols service, a reading from Isaiah 9 contains a cryptic phrase, "The people who lived in a land of deep darkness-on them a light has shined."

This is the biblical afterlife realm, Sheol / Hades.

One of the very earliest "ghostbusting" stories is found in a little known part of the Bible and includes Daniel (of the "lion's den" fame), the babylonian king and the god Bel.

It uses a now familiar way to distinguish between the paranormal and normal.

Many Christians believe we are in a state of unconscious sleep when we die because the Bible uses the metaphor of sleep for death. But this image is about being in a different state of existence the living can't see: ghostsghoulsandgod.co.uk/2021/09/do-t...
