Step-by-step explanation:
Whether we believe in them or not, we have all heard of angels, demons, and ghosts; however, most of us would struggle to explain the differences between these beings that are described in every culture and in every period of history. In centuries past, Christians would have known the differences and understood the importance of making distinctions between angels, demons, and ghosts.
As Christian belief has declined, in general, and as modern rationalism has attacked the idea that there are spiritual realities beyond the material world, we have largely come to regard angels, demons, and ghosts as mere metaphors and, over time, we have begun to mix those metaphors.
The Problem of Pop Culture
Modern pop culture has only added to the confusion. Television shows and movies, in particular, draw upon the innate human fascination with the spiritual realm, while playing fast and loose with the traditional understanding of angels, demons, and ghosts. In both film and literature, angels and demons seem all too human (and, conversely, humans may be portrayed as angelic or demonic), while ghosts appear as demonic, more often than not.
Let's examine the traditional understanding of each of these spiritual entities—with a surprise visitor thrown in for good measure.

The First Beings Created by God
In the Christian understanding of Creation, angels are the first beings created by God. God Himself, of course, is uncreated; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have always existed, from eternity to eternity.
The angels, however, were created by God and with the creation of the angels, time began. Saint Augustine, in a metaphor, says that time is measured by the beating of angels' wings, which is simply another way of saying that time and creation go hand in hand. God is unchanging, but creation changes through time.
God's Messengers
Angels are purely spiritual beings; they have no physical body. The word angel means "messenger." Throughout human history, God has sent these beings to deliver messages to mankind: the angel Gabriel appeared to the Blessed Virgin Mary to announce the good news that God had chosen her to bear His Son; an angel appeared to the shepherds in the hills above Bethlehem to bring the "glad tidings" that Christ was born; an angel appeared to the women at Christ's tomb to proclaim His Resurrection.
When angels are sent to us, they take on human form—though not, as so many TV shows and movies claim, by "possessing" a human being. While the bodies they adopt are material, they exist only so long as the angels appear to us. When an angel no longer has need of a human appearance—when he is no longer appearing to a man or a woman—his "body" ceases to exist.
Guardian Angels
There are many indications in Scripture that the number of the angels is so great as to be effectively infinite—far more than the number of human beings and all creatures on earth. Every man, woman, and child has a unique guardian angel, a spiritual being whose task is to guard us both physically and spiritually. Tradition holds that both cities and countries have angels assigned to them in much the same way as patron saints.
When Christians use the term angel to refer to spiritual creatures, they normally mean what we might call the "good angels"—that is, those angelic creatures who remain faithful to God. Such angels can no longer sin as humans can—they had one chance to do so, before God even created man, but when they chose to obey God rather than to follow their own will, their nature became fixed.
