First Ghost?

Who became the first ghost? The bible's first death was when Cain killed Able. Aparently God did not work death into his creations because he had to ask Cain where his brother was. Able did not lie very well and God discovered what happened. He punished Cain and possibly forgot about Able and so Able became a ghost. Then God went on creating and Adam and Eve died and as the years went on so did a lot of other people. Now God either began recycling everybody, as some religions decided, or he just did not know what to do with dead people spirits. I say spirits because the dead people kept popping up now and then to scare the heck out of living people, or vica versa, and well somebody in history named them spirits.

Civilizations became somewhat civilized and noticed that these spirits were bothersome and some one thought up an after life. The rituals and stuff started, which was better than letting the dead body lay around stinking in the sun all day.

Then Jesus came along and the whole resurrection idea began to take hold. Now these so called spirits had a place to go. Unfortunately not all of them knew about resurrection stuff or Jesus, and did not know where to go.

Some other religious leaders did not want Jesus to have a monopoly on death and all kinds of ideas of heaven and hell began to become more and more plausable to all kinds of peoples all over the place.

Today dead people look for a light or something, but still some get lost and are stuck in buildings or places which are very old.

There are people that say they can talk to the dead and help them get to where ever it is one is suppose to go after one dies. You would think that when some of the people died that could talk to these dead people. That maybe after they died, they would be more helpful once they also became dead. Like Moses I would think they could get those previouosly dead people to follow them up and out to the light or where ever.

It must have something to do with memory because after all we do still have spirits.

So unless before one dies there is some one to tell them something like. "OK you are dying now. So don't forget to just leave and not hang around being a pesky spirit. Ok?" Then the problem is solved, at least for the one that knows he/she is dying. If one dies suddenly then it's a crap shoot?

Still who was the first ghost and why? Which brings me to another question. Did the cavemen come before or after Adam and Eve?

Shit Im still hoping that they are real so I dont have to leave entirely and most likely will weigh much less. With all the floating and whatever. I think that if you are an irritating ghost
then you probley were in the previous life and you just dont 'get it'. Like a bad relationship when one of the people keeps whining that they got dumped.. Your Dead! Move on! God find something to do. Hanging around here for a hundred blooddy years. Go outside and get some damn air. Pardon the pun.
