What does the Bible say about the living dead?

It is as the Living Dead Man said—

We generate our own light here, and so it is always just as bright as we are within [Letters from a Living Dead Man], which naturally varies with each individual, but when several spirit lives unite they make any room gay.

The so-called dead are in reality no more holy than they were before they died.

When anyone on this plane has the gift of being an able transmitter—or a true medium of communication between the two worlds of earth and spirit, they are by that quality a target—or focus for all those who live upon the earth on human magnetism.

Those vampires, for such they become if allowed have the power to draw off all the surplus vitality of one on this plane until that one has no reserve left with which to combat disease should he fall a victim to that.

Worse, these harpies from the spirit side have neither judgment, nor mercy, and they often take not only their victim's surplus, but what he needs to live upon from day to day, reducing him to a physical as well as a mental wreck.

The Living Dead Man's book speaks of a churchly conventional heaven.

Maybe it does exist, but we have not seen it and we have consoled many who were hunting it.

The Living Dead Man was old and wise before he came over here, so he had a right to travel more than we.

His book has made a deep impression on us here.
