If we had examples of the Apostles or early disciples leading lost souls into the light then we would have a proof text but we do not. So in that instance
we as well need to be cautioned that we not move from the Biblical position to the position of spiritualist or sorcery. That would make the enemy very happy.

I agree. The bible deals with what we are meant to know. And if there are areas it does not deal with, then God expects us to not concern ourselves over them as well. But I think enough int he bible informs us about the thought that "ghosts" are no human spirits, but imposter devils.
Brain candy is fun and cool. It interests our minds. But our spirits need truth and I think we spend too much time on things that do not matter.
Too many people have gone into false doctrine by stressing things the bible says nothing about. Why, the Catholics even made doctrines about doctrines not in the bible! Tradition and Magisterium.
