It’s that season where the nicest folks don masks and become ghouls. While I choose to celebrate my niece’s birthday instead of All Hallows Eve, ghosts and Christianity are not mutually exclusive.\u00a0Look at this picture:<\/p>\n

\"William<\/a>
William Blake (British, 1757 – 1827 ), The Ghost of Samuel Appearing to Saul, c. 1800, pen and ink with watercolor over graphite, Rosenwald Collection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Bible recounts tales of resurrections of the dead (Thank you Jesus<\/em>). \u00a0It also tells of ghosts, not just the Holy Ghost (Again\u00a0thank you God).<\/p>\n

In this haunting painting, William Blake (1757-1827) captures the ghost of Samuel the Prophet as he appears to King Saul, who has conjured Samuel\u00a0up to get details of an impending battle against the Philistines. \u00a0Instead, the spirit of\u00a0Samuel tells him\u00a0of Saul’s\u00a0and his son’s deaths in that battle (1 Sam. 28).<\/p>\n

This drawing is from 1800. You can see it and others at the collection of downloadable images at the National Gallery of Art. Yeah, National Gallery of Art.<\/p>\n
