Do ghosts, demons and angels really exist? Well, that depends on ones personal beliefs on each subject.
Starting with ghosts: Do I personally believe they exist? Yes. I'll explain. A ghost is a spirit which is earthbound for one reason or another. Maybe they have "unfinished business" to tend to. Maybe they committed some heinous crime during life and they are being prevented from entering into the afterlife. Either way, or for whatever reason, they are here. There are people who have devoted their entire lives to finding and proving they exist. There have been strange occurrences caught on tape that are attributed to ghosts. Red marks being left on inhabitants of houses occupied by ghosts. Things on shelves moving and falling off seemingly with no help from anyone or anything that can be seen. Doors being slammed, windows breaking, strange "bumps" in the night. I have seen video of an apparent ghost crossing the street in front of a car. Is it a hoax? Could be, but it was enough to give me goose bumps. My daughter once had a "friend" that she would talk to in her bedroom when she was little. Not an imaginary friend, but a true friend with whom she held normal conversations. We could never see this friend or hear him, but he was there. Come to find out, he was a past occupant of our house who had died a few years earlier. This was confirmed with public records. Now, the only way my daughter would have known about this person was if he was there, talking to her and telling her these things. So, I do believe in ghosts.

Now for the other two entities in the article: demons and angels. These two are inherently linked and can't be separated. In order to believe in one, you have to believe in the other. They are both based on and linked to religious beliefs, no matter what religion it is. Angels are good, demons are bad. Angels work for God, demons work for the devil. One balances out the other. You have to have evil to balance out the good. Demons could exist in many forms, from spirits roaming the earth to cause death and destruction, to one which inhabits a person and manifests in different ways. Churches hold exorcisms to remove these demons from people, as was evident in The Exorcism of Emily Rose the ever endearing The Exorcist. If you have a religious belief, then you have been educated on demons and angels. If you don't have a religious belief, you have probably heard about them, whether or not you believe in them.
This subject can go on forever, but each person must decide for themselves, do I believe or not? In my case, I do.
