Assuming ghosts/ demons are real at all, here's how I'm pretty sure it is.
Most of the time when ghosts appear, or are said to appear, they either do nothing and disappear, or they are threatening from the start.
Ghosts don't talk to people, and oftentimes, you can't see them, so they can't pretend to be your guides or ancestors.
And, furthermore, one wouldn't become "free to wander around the world for eternity" as you put it, as ghosts are almost always said to be people who couldn't let go of their life. This is typically someone with unresolved business, or who was murdered, and they are usually bound to one location, unable to leave.
If they're masquerading as your guide/ancestor, I'm fairly certain that they would have to be a hallucination.
Demons would have a more physical form than ghosts, and would more likely befriend you, until you considered them as a best friend or a lover, and then strike.
And forgive me if I come off as rude, but if you believe in demons, then why are you refuting ghosts?
Neither can be proven to exist.
