Is it a Demon?

We mention that the attempts by a spirit to communicate can often be mistaken as evil in intention. If you do not notice communication attempts, the spirit will try more frequently and more intense ways to communicate. Since people instinctively fear the unknown, we believe it can be demonic in nature. We have been told that a demonic entity is easy to distinguish with an overall feeling of great evil. Since demonic entities are very rare and we never came across one, we don’t have a basis of comparison. We try to avoid demonic entities and suggest you do as well.

Most times, people may believe their home is infested with demons because a psychic felt an evil presence and declared with confidence that there was a demon. More often than not, that “evil feeling” was an encounter with a spirit that is angry. Spirits keep the same personality they had while alive. There are good spirits and bad spirits. A spirit found in an old death row would be considered a bad spirit and a medium would feel the negative energy. But a demon? Not likely. As a rule, people fear the unknown and we feel threatened by what we fear, therefore a spirit is normally feared.

While we believe that demons do exist, we believe they are rare in occurrence. However, angry spirits are around just as there are cranky living people. Can a spirit hurt you? It is very rare and most injuries occur as a result of people fleeing carelessly. But, don’t be fooled, spirits can assert themselves. It all depends on the strength of the spirit. Spirits are people without bodies, and will become angry if shown disrespect.

Will a spirit hurt you? Not likely. Do you coworkers randomly punch you? No, only if you pick a fight. Why would a spirit want to hurt you then? Angry spirits are referred to as demons because many do not understand. Spirits are like you and I, they have emotions. We all become angry at some point, are we demonic?

During a demonic haunting the typical symptoms include a stomach-turning odor described as smelling like rotting flesh or sulfur. Often times an intense growl is heard that seems to come from all around you. The air in an area will become thick and soupy and the temperature often rises. They often make contact by pushing, hitting, and more commonly scratching. Scratches, welts, and even bite marks can be seen as a result. Most of the assaults however, are through oppressive anxiety and fear.

It is thought that demons do whatever they can to lower someone’s psyche enough to possess them. Demons can not be destroyed by humans and with exorcisms they can be removed from an area. However, they are free to choose their next intended victim. They also revel in tearing about families and destroying lives. They clearly are not to be messed with.

They are tricky too. During an investigation, they have been known to appear as a human apparition in order to avoid getting removed through religious ritual. It is important for investigators to listen to the claims before visiting, since these entities do deceive for their protection.
