Spirits (supernatural beings)
Spirits are considered non-physical entities often believed to represent the essence of living beings, ancestors, deities, or supernatural forces. They are thought to exist beyond the sensory world and may influence, protect, or communicate with the living. Different cultures and religions interpret spirits in various ways—some see them as ancestors watching over families, others as divine powers or generic supernatural beings. While scientific evidence for spirits is lacking, they hold significant cultural, spiritual, and psychological importance, shaping traditions, rituals, and personal beliefs about the unseen aspects of existence.
