It depends on the sect.  Some still don't believe it and chalk it up to demonic possession.  But most see it for what it is, an illness that needs proper treatment.

I am not Catholic but I do believe that there is a demonic possession, and have seen first hand the work of demons, which is why I stay as close to my faith as I can, and totally believe in the power of prayer against these things.

Dear Friend,\n   You are dealing with demons.  It is a very real problem, and you should NOT try to face it alone! When I was younger, I was involved in minor occult activities, without recognizing the diabolical source of this activity. Strange, scary things began to happen to me at night when I was trying to sleep.  At one time, I cried out, "Jesus help me!," and I felt a hard hit on the top of my head, as if someone were slapping the very top of my head, but then no more problems, and I was able to rest peacefully.  I thanked God for His immediate answer to my prayer, and I began to seek Him with increasing seriousness and urgency.  I eliminated ALL possible occult connections, because I realized that Satan was behind these.  If you tinker with these things, you are inviting evil into your life (although you may not be aware of it).  Since making these changes, I have had no more problems.\n     When I was in law school several years ago, one of my classmates who was Hmong, was very fearful of this phenomena (shadow people).  His religion was multi-theistic/spiritist.  This religion recognized evil spirits that tormented people at night (they believed that these things were "ghosts");  however, the people following this religion did not understand that God alone is strong enough to handle this problem.  My classmate had claimed to have been bothered at night by these "shadow people."  He actually died in his sleep a few months after our graduation (he was in his early 20's).  Medical doctors were unable to identify a cause of death, but his relatives insisted that it was the evil spirits, who had "taken" his soul during the night.   \n     Do you own a Oiuja board?  Tarot Cards or other fortune telling devices?  Have you ever sought the advice of a fortune teller?  Have you ever been involved in any occult activities (including witchcraft, mediums, communication with "the dead")?  Do you have any objects in your home that might be associated with demons, witchcraft, or the occult (even "souvenirs" from possible occult/voodoo sources)?  Do you have any friends who might be involved in this?  If so, REMOVE these items/activities from you life IMMEDIATELY, and seek help from Jesus Christ.  You need power that only God and Jesus Christ can provide.  Seek the Lord earnestly through prayers, and through a prayerful, thorough search of the Bible (NOT exorcism, or other human devices).         \n     Please don't try to deal with this problem alone.  It is real, but no human being is strong enough to handle it without the power of God.  You need Jesus Christ.  If you call on Him, He will hear and deliver you.  Seek Him with all your heart and mind.  You will receive His peace, His power, and His protection.  Shalom to you, friend!!!

Yes...I believe most all of us have except for the very "new" souls. I've had past life regressions done...very interesting!

Yes, because if you don't know what you are doing it may cause a nexus to open up in our world to release unknown terrors.  Do you really want a demon to carry you off somewhere?  I don't think so.   Probably release some technodemons or something.

This past year in my house will see dark shape very briefly-shape seems to be moving  but am not afraid . Shadow has shape that indicates person but doesn't indicate male or female.  It'll startle me sometimes but never feel threatened or intimidated. Don't know what the shadow shape is--do know not a demon for there are no demons at least not the kind reflected in art or illustrations.No mentions of God creating demons and Satan does not have the ability to create-perhaps demons are only  a human concept but not real. Not sure if I believe in ghosts for if we die and move on who are the ghosts.

Religion says so.\nScience says they are due to certain electromagnetic interferences.\nSo they exist.\nIf God is there, demon is also there

I do believe in ghosts/spirits. I never encountered any spiritual situation but I do believe that if the soul won't rest after death, it will find a way to make its presence felt by humans...maybe it's a way of finding peace in order to leave the real world and be set free. Some people might think that the presence of a ghost/spirit is bad news....when in fact it might be a way of letting the person know that the person whose spirit is felt is watching over him/her...like a kind of protection. \n\nWell, if I ever find myself in this situation I'll run for my life! Yes, I said that I believe in them but did I also mention that I'm scared of them?? :/

I have not encountered in real life. But since childhood I have been haunted by demons in my dreams. I had to fight with them whole night. Those dreams were so horrifying that even most scarest movie will look like comedy. those dreams were so real that I used to sweat. I with all my efforts could not get rid of them. Then one fine day I met a muslim mullah. He visited my house and told me that there were demons in the house. I told him about my dreams. he gave holy water to be sprinkeled in the house. when I started doing this, after 20 days, I had a dream a very beautiful and sexy lady demon came to me and said why do you want us to leave I can be all yours if you allw us to stay. I said no thank you though with much difficulty as she was damn beautiful. Her skin colour was bluish. After that the dreams stopped. Never came. Many times I tried that I had those dreams but they never came.

I have a hard time pinning down my true beliefs about spirits, ghosts, demons, angels, etc... but, my immediate thought or reaction is either a) you're mind is playing tricks on you (which it's very capable of doing) or b) there is a spirit in your house. If it's b, I would first try and figure out why it's there and who it is. I suppose it could be some sort of spirit related to your nan, though I have a hard time believing that souls stay around once dead. My belief is that if you or anyone else sees a spirit of a loved one, it may possibly be a remnant left on earth and not necessarily be that person's soul or spirit. At least you feel no fear. That doesn't mean however, that you shouldn't investigate and try to remove the spirit. The green could have possibly been an aura, though I don't know much about them. I would consult someone who knows a great deal about the supernatural, whether that be a clergy or someone who is a medium or involved with witchcraft. I hope you find a conclusion. Good luck.

I know you may not want to believe it, but there are evil spirits that can take posession of people. I have seen it. And I would encourage you not to be too confident about your opinions on this. There is more out there than you may have encountered, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Well, I believe in the casting out of demons, but I was chastized for using the word exorcism (even though to me thats exactly what the word means) because it rings of Catholicism and the rituals and sorcery they use.  I was told that exorcism dont exist because it is Catholic and they do it all wrong.  Believe me I even tried to argue it with the greek and latin roots of the word-lol\n\nAnyways, I do not believe in the kind of exorcisms they show on TV because we do not need holy water and crosses to extract a demon, all we need is to pray in Jesus name and it will be done. (or it wont)  We do not need to even call a priest to do the job, anyone who believes can perform the task.  Even on ourselves if we feel we are being influenced by demons.\n\nI believe that the whole Catholic idea of exorcism takes away the power of Jesus and gives more to Satan.  Jesus can and does work through us all and for a believer, the power of Satan cannot hold a candle to the power of Jesus.

I think the king of hell lives within each of us. We choose whether or not we do good or bad, and that is a continued struggle. People who say that there is an external "Satan" or whatever are doing this because they cannot accept the conflict is within themselves. The king of hell is the shadowy side of all of our souls.\n\nThat felt weird, Poison Ivy, please ask more Jerry Springer questions! ;)

mandi_2037,\n\nMy son was demon possessed in junior high school, and it looked exactly like mental illness. We even took him to a Christian hospital for the mentally ill. One of the orderlies took me aside and told me that my son was demon possessed and that the doctors there couldn’t help him.\n\nOne of the doctors told me that his sister was like my son. He told me that my son would struggle with mental illness all his life and would progressively get worse even with medication. I told him that I was a Christian, and I believed in healing and that my son would lead a normal life. I made them release my son and then made the demon come out. \n\nMy son finished high school and went on to Nuclear Power Training School in the Navy. That schooling was the equivalent of a 4 year degree in a 1 ½ year period.\n\nI hope this helps, although it probably just raises more questions for you. If you have more questions I would be happy to answer them – time permitting.\n\nGod bless.
