Could a person die but not know it?

[Anonymous]

Could it be possible that you have already died and not know it and continue living on as a soul or spirit but in reality you have passed and your soul is stuck and has no idea? could also explain “ghost” hunting places where they have died. I’ve also read in the Bible under Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 “For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing” implying that the dead probably don’t know of there death or of anything.

No, and you should have paid better attention in Sunday School, kiddo.

Ecclesiastes 9 5-6 means they can do nothing to help or hinder their situation, as only the living can. There is no question of "know" as the dead are not biological entities stuck with a mind, but souls attached in spirit.

Nobody cares what your ancient book says. You don't have a single shred of evidence for any of it.

I doubt it- wouldn't you notice that you couldn't physically interact with the world? Or if you could, that other people wouldn't interact with YOU? If you COULD manipulate objects, I suppose you might wind up like Burgess Meredith in "Time Enough At Last", but that's a pretty exceptional case; most people are going to want more human contact.

What about living but feeling as though you have died because other sees you as dead. Bad accident

[AndrésC64]

Absolutely. We will all be dead someday and not know it. You want to know why? Because we'll be dead.

Don't believe in any of that
