Movies, book, culture, and religion. Do they have it right?

We all know what a ghost is. Or a supernatural force, a demon, heaven, hell, the ghost plain, etc. Or do we?
Does anyone ever think what if things are completely NOT what we think? Wonder if we have everything completely and utterly wrong... like... not even in the ballpark. What if all these things really ARE 100% real but also 100% nothing like we can imagine or understand? Thoughts?

Given that we are in the age of technogy with cameras on atms, buildings, front doors, dash cams, traffic lights, stores etc...we would have captured some proof by now, you think? No one has ever shown definitive proof. Even live streaming would suffice in real time, yet nothing!

@AngelUnforgiven I think you are missing the entire point of this post. My question isn't real or not. This isn't a question of evidence. My question was IF they were real do you think they would be the stereotype? Or would they be different?

@ReaperLinda what are the stereotypes?

@AngelUnforgiven how could you not know? Stereotypes. A ghost is a spirit of a dead person. You can see through them. They hang around due to unfinished business. A demon is from hell. There are angels from heaven. A ghost haunts places. There is a spectral plain.

Everything I listed is a stereotype. The fact you knew what I was talking about when I wrote "ghost" means you know what the stereotype is.

Now, again, what IF these things were actually real... but not anything like we think they are.
