In Jewish folklore, an evil spirit of a deceased human can posses a living human, and turn him into a dybbuk. The Torah and Talmud do not use the term, but describe stories in which such possessions occur. Christian denominations hold varying views on ghosts. Catholic Church teachings indicate that souls from deceased bodies may end up in a state between heaven or hell called limbo or purgatory, but Catholic teachings differ on whether such souls can come into the living world. Protestant churches reject the idea of an intermediate place, and believe that the spirits of the dead go immediately to heaven or hell. They explain ghosts in the Bible as a phenomenon that took place only in biblical times. Islam also teaches that when people die, they go to a heaven or a hell, and do not linger in the world, but that spirits called Jinn exist. Jinn are less powerful than angels, but can possess humans and punish them by causing harm or disease.
