I have to disagree with some of your points ....

Possession is possible. It is rare but possible. At some level, the possessed person must have consented to it.

An interesting account of possession is available in a book entitled "Glimpses of the Devil" by Scott M Peck, for those who are interested to know more.

Secondly, sadly the media has a lot to answer for with regards to giving out false information to the general public about the existence of negative spirits.

Negative Spirits do not exist and anyone who understands spirit at a deep level will be able to explain this to you.
No, they do. Or rather it depends on what perspective you take.

For example, at a more ultimate perspective, everything is one, and there is only one Spirit, or Being, or God, or whatever, and all things are part of it.

On a less-ultimate perspective, however, there are all sorts of different conscious entities running around (such as me and Purplemoon). In one sense, Purplemoon and I are "one", but in other senses, we're definitely not - otherwise we wouldn't be in disagreement now.

Thirdly Spirits do not haunt houses or get stuck on the earth plane.
Yes they do. As a matter of fact, some people can quite easily see (and communicate with) the earthbound spirits.

The spirit world isnt a place as such .. as a world without matter would not have time or space (Einstein's E=MC2 is evidence of this) Spirit is omnipresent which is the ability to be everywhere at the same time.
Our consciousness can also break free of limits of time and space, which are illusory. This accounts for astral travelling; OBEs; remote viewing; premonitions and a host of other things.

Notwithstanding this, space and time still feel very real to most of us. And IMO, time continues to feel very real to earthbound spirits, although not space.

Houses can retain residual energy which gets charged up and when sparked off can show like a film that would replay over and over (like a hologram) .. this is what we call a ghost and it cannot harm you as it has no mind (its more like a glitch in the matrix or an imprint of the past)
It is undoubtedly true that houses (and places) can retain residual energy in that way, and produce those sorts of effects. This accounts for a large percentage of what seem to be ghostly encounters. Indeed they are like a glitch in the matrix - that's a very apt description.

HOWEVER, there are also earthbound spirits (or ghosts) which are not of that kind. These ghosts are definitely conscious and they do not simply "replay" over and over again, but are capable of thinking about, and doing different sorts of things. In other words, they genuinely possess consciousness.

These earthbound spirits are simply people who have died, but for one reason or another, did not cross over into the white light (this is the same white light reported by people who have had NDEs). Eventually their personal white light closes, and they are "trapped" on the earth plane.

They need not be trapped forever - there are still ways to cross - but some of them do not wish to cross, or do not wish to cross yet.
