Demonic Hauntings

This is a section taken directly from our website, which should be up and running very soon. The website is packed full of helpful info similar to this article, as well as many more in-depth articles and discussions.

"Demons are evil inhuman supernatural beings of intelligence, wit and power. They have the ability to invade our homes, attach themselves to objects and cause both mental and emotional torture by attacking or possessing humans. They can morph into any shape they wish, from humans to animals, before your very eyes. They are neither male nor female, but will change to whatever meets their need at the time. Demons are commonly seen as black masses standing in doorways or in corners of the room. They have a hatred for mankind and think of us as lowly and stupid. Most demonic entities like a challenge and are incredibly conniving; they may have you believing they are good spirits or may appear to have gone away, only to confront you again at the least expected and most vulnerable moment. Their main goal is to break down a person's free will in order to make way for possession. This can take days, months or years, but time is of no concern to them.
Demonic hauntings usually start in a subtle way: Faucets dripping, scratches in the walls, thumping sounds. These behaviors are typically the same displayed by a poltergeist, but become more extreme. Your blankets may be pulled off the bed and things fall off the walls, perhaps the bed shakes voilently. Why is it doing this? Because it wants you to know he's in control and he wants you to fear him. They feed off of this energy and believe me it can be taxing if you are off guard. The fear is what the demon needs, so the more you fear it, the stronger it becomes. Once they succeed in creating an atmosphere of fear, they start to exaggerate their powers and then the personal attacks begin....scratches on the skin, pushing, shoving and hitting. The air in the affected area will feel thick like fog and the temperature will drastically change, usually becoming warmer, which is the opposite from a human entity attempting to manifest. It's common for several entities to exist in one location with a strong evil presence seemingly controlling the others and not allowing them to cross over. These demons come into our world through a gateway.... and it's usually, either a cave, a well, or natural hole in the earth...and normally not more than 10 or 20 feet away from a haunting. Another way for them to enter is through a portal, usually opened up by using a Ouija Board or tinkering with some form of magic, witchcraft, or demonic worship that perhaps the person shouldn't be tinkering with. In this case, the person most likely don't know what they could be getting themselves into unless it's done deliberately. It's always a safe bet to stay away from these temptations; yes, that includes Ouija Boards that seem harmless.
A demonic haunting requires immediate action; the longer it's allowed to remain, the stronger it becomes. You will need to seek the help from an experienced paranormal group, demonologist or a local church. In most cases, it will usually take the exorcism by an ordained priest to rid your home of the demon. There are, however, other methods that may work. It is believed that you can possess the ability to drive it away on your own. You will have to gather the strength within yourself and "Command" it to leave. Yes Command. Don't taunt, don't confront, don't get angry, and most of all, do not show fear. It's believed that it's like a code of conduct with them. Sometimes they will leave, not right away, but with persistance and with NO FEAR. Also, it's been said that demons don't like to be ignored. If it can't get you to fear it, then the game is over. Like say they, ignore it and it will go away, unless it is determined to attach itself to a person. Something else that might help is smudging. To smudge your house, open the windows and light a bundle of dried sage or smudging sticks (available at most health stores). Sage is believed to clear away negative energy and spirits. Catch the ashes with a plate held underneath the bundle and walk around your home to cleanse it with the sage smoke. Make sure the smoke covers every part of the home, especially corners, closets, basements and attics. It is also said that sprinkling holy water throughout the house might work too; although this is not always successful if not done by a priest, it may provide you with a temporary solution. All Catholic Churches will have Holy Water available, as well as many other churches. When obtaining Holy Water it is customary to leave a small donation, if possible. You will also need to recite a prayer when smudging or using Holy Water. See our section on DEALING WITH A HAUNTING for more detailed information.
Once again, you must understand that this is a very serious situation and you must seek the help of a professional. We don't recommend attempting to rid this one on your, but we have included some techniques that you can try. These techniques are intended as a temporary solution, not a permanent one, until you are able to seek professional help from an investigator, Demonologist or church. Time is of the essence, so make arrangements immediately. If you need further help or information, please contact us via our contact page."
