The thought of ghosts has over time become attached to overly dramatic and exaggerated sceneries. All thanks to the stereotypical perspective of the movie industries, as they have consistently portrayed stories and relayed events in more often than not, lopsided mastery of the storytelling of the spirit world. We have being made to see the gruesome possession of human bodies by grotesque entities as a "badass" scenery, rather than the true unimaginably scary moments that the victims were made to live through as they underwent those moments of turmoil.
If one would make a survey, at least 7 out of every 10 people believe in existence of ghosts and other supernatural entities. But with our hollywood influenced mindset, how many really know the truth about ghosts?
If you have ever witnessed any form of exorcism before, you'd understand that the term ghosts is a very romantic nature for great perpertrators of evil called Jinns. Secularly known as demons!

What are jinns?
I bet you're probably thinking aladin and aome magic kettle. Nah! Jinns are way beyond that!
The story of jinns is so vast and ofcourse interesting! Due to the air of mystery around them, but i'll try as much as possible to stick to the ghost aspect of this. According to islamic teachings, one which gives a great level of dJinns are beings made from flameless fire and undisputably possess some powers beyond mental capability of men. Hence their occassional misidentification for fallen or rebellious angels. It is believed that a nation of jinns were created long before the existence of mankind, but they commited a lot of unspeakable attrocities that infuriated the creator. This in turn inspired a sort of war and a very powerful jinn took over in waging war against the erring ones of his nation. After the war had subsided, he looked forward to being deputized unfortunately, the creator had a greater plan. When the plan materialized, he was called to see the new deputy of the creator, whom incidentally was made from clay. The jinn looked at the creation ridiculously and could quite understand the possibility of such a weak seemkng figure assuming a greater rank than himself...

Fast foward till date...
Now most people see jinn infestation as a cool thing. Jinns are very mischievious entities and they enternain various means of ridiculing the creation that assumed the post of the deputy.
Amongst these means is the means of instilling heartrending fear and confussionist imageries to rattle the composure of humans. These they do by inducing reenactments of images and scenes. There are various species of jinns. Just like humams, there are good jinns and bad jinns. Apparitions are only games played by specific jinns on the human mind.
