Halloween Special (More Myths About Demons)
Listen to audio
As Halloween approaches, and many are watching horror films to get a good fright, bear in mind that there are plenty of real-life stories out there that will make your skin crawl and keep you looking over your shoulder.
Here's another infusion of real-world horror, in the form of dispelling a few more myths about demons. I must warn you, though; you might have to sleep with the lights on!
First of all, let's talk, once again, about the telepathic abilities of demons; otherwise known as evil spirits, or, as they have dubbed themselves,
"Shamedy-Faced Haints."
Yes, Demons CAN Read Your Mind! Anyone Who Says Otherwise is Wrong!
This. This right here. This is one of the main messages I'm supposed to give to the world, I'm certain of it, because nobody seems to understand this.
I had yet another argument with a fellow Redditor recently about this. He told me that it couldn't possibly be true that demons can read your mind, because some Catholic priest wrote in a book that they can not. I informed him that, unlike whoever that guy was, I have firsthand experience with this matter, while he obviously does not. He told me that I need a psych evaluation. Well, I think he needs a psych evaluation for being so brainwashed.
Think. Logically. How can anyone, regardless of what their credentials are, think they can know that demons can't read our minds?
Take demons out of the equation, if that's easier. You could easily acquire evidence that another person can read your mind. If someone could tell you what you're thinking, word-for-word, and there's no other way they could have known it, then you'd be pretty well convinced that that person is reading your mind, right? It might not be anything that you could prove to anyone else; but you'd know it for yourself.
Okay. But, you could never have evidence that someone else can't read your mind. That would be impossible to determine; because maybe they can, and they're just keeping that information to themselves.
Therefore, how anyone ever thought they knew that, in order to write it in the first place, is beyond my comprehension.
About a month ago, I did a quick Google search of this topic to see what all misinformation is out there. I found an article on Spiritual Direction .com where a priest says that demons can not read our minds. He suggests that they merely observe our mannerisms and reactions and draw conclusions. However, in contradiction to that, he writes,
"In certain cases of possession I have observed that the demon obeys orders that have been given mentally."Okay, so... ?
How did the demon deduce from facial expressions which order was being given mentally? It sounds as if this priest may at least suspect the truth.
In the comments, someone had asked two years ago (paraphrased),
"I have heard that some people who have dabbled in the occult have acquired psychic abilities from evil spirits, so, if Satan can't read our minds, then how can these demons? It seems as if Satan would be able to do this as well."
I made a disqus account for the sole purpose of answering this young man's question; however, when I went to post my answer, a message came up which read that all comments have to be approved before they will be viewable by the public. Well, it's been a month, and my comment has never been approved. I'm not surprised.
Here's the answer, for that young man, if he ever finds this, or anyone else who is curious:
"Because demons actually can read your mind. This information is incorrect. I'm assuming that the people who propagate this idea probably think that way because they aren't able to hear the demons speaking or communicating telepathically. People who are spiritually gifted, however, can have a full conversation with them; and we can tell you that they absolutely can read every thought that pops into your head. Not only that; they can also sift through the archives and bring up any memory you ever had. They can discover any thought you've ever had. They can bring up something from long ago, or something you've forgotten. They can see, through your memories, everything you've ever done."
-Justa Christian
Now, I will say, that there was one thing correct in the aforementioned article; that only God can read your soul. I would have said "heart," but I think we're talking about the same thing. Demons can read our internal dialogue, word-for-word, as it pops into our heads. They can also read events from our pasts. I know this for a fact; but, how exactly they do this is far more mysterious. What I mean is that, I don't know if they read it like a book, or watch it like a movie, or what; but somehow they can find out what happened. However, I don't think they can find out how we felt about it. This is what they make inferences about. They can make a guess. For example, obviously if it's a memory of us getting into trouble at school and then getting a spanking when we got home, they might assume that we felt angry, hurt, or ashamed, etc. They might not know for sure, though, because I've noticed that they "test" me to try to find out these types of things.
For instance, they'll say, out of the blue,
"Embarrassed..."
And, well, now, I'll roll my eyes; but when they first started pulling this particular trick, I'd sort of perk up, like,
"What? Huh? What is this nonsense? What's he talking about now? Embarrassed?"
Then they'll continue,
"Embarrassed. Yes. You were surely embarrassed when..."
... and they just... trail off, leaving that thought dangling there. They are trying to get me to supply them with information, of a time when I was embarrassed. They get really pissed because I won't!
But, there is one thing that I should point out, which might possibly explain some of the confusion surrounding this topic. I have determined that these are human-demons, as opposed to fallen angel-demons. Applying the same logic I've already explained, I STILL don't understand how anyone could think they know that fallen angels can't read our minds; but it is possible that they can't. I don't know if I've ever talked to any of them.
Still, even if fallen angels, including Satan himself, can't directly read our minds, it's likely that they can indirectly read our minds through these guys. Some of the things they've told me support this. They're always telling me that "Satan says" something; or saying something nasty to me, and then claiming that Satan made them say it.
This could be crap; but it could not be. They say they work for Satan. They definitely claim to be hooked up with him, similarly to how they're hooked up with me. Therefore, it's very likely that even if Satan can't read our minds, these guys are telling him anything he wants to know.
Besides, some priests already know that demons can read our minds, whether or not they really understand that they know that. Lynette asked her Catholic priest if he thinks demons can read our minds, and she said that he said no; but followed that up with,
"...but sometimes they will torment an exorcist priest about his past sins."
I said,
"Well, there you go! How would the demon know what the priest's past sins were, if it didn't read his mind?"
She said,
"I know."
In a video entitled "Demons Don't Stand a Chance" by Time of Grace Ministries (not Catholic), the pastor speaking tells a story about another pastor who was confronted by a human whom he'd never met before; and this human tells the pastor all about sins he'd committed in the past, which no stranger could have known about. The implication is that the accusing man was probably possessed. They don't spell it out exactly, but some of them know.
Additionally, if you're interested, I'll direct you to this movie about Joe Fisher. This story was brought to my attention by a fellow blogger with whom I've become friends. This story takes place a bit before some of us were old enough to care about the news, so you might not have heard about it. Joe Fisher was a journalist who fell in love with a spirit. He said that she could read his mind. He spent years researching the paranormal and published several books. Ultimately, it ruined his life.
I am not against priests of any variety. I just know that they have so so so many things wrong. To think that Satan couldn't possibly be diabolical enough to deceive them into thinking that he's actually less powerful than he is, or to think that he wouldn't have spent the last few millennia finding workarounds to compensate for any handicaps he has... is illogical.
There are NO child spirits here!
There are no child spirits wandering the Earth. Children are innocent; and therefore they go straight to Heaven when they die. They would not be left here to contend with demons. There is no way that's possible.
I have heard several ghost stories in my life which involve child spirits. In fact, I grew up with a story about a child spirit. The one grandmother that I got to know (the other one having died before I was born) was as Appalachian as they make 'em. She told me a story about a couple, some relatives of ours, who had, during her own childhood, lived in a house that was "hainted" by a "baby's ghost." The couple said they would feel the "baby," which must have actually been a toddler, tiptoeing across the foot of their bed at night. I don't remember the rest of the story clearly, but it seems as if they also heard a baby crying at times. If I remember correctly, this couple had no children, but the previous occupants of the house had lost a child; therefore, they assumed they were being visited by the ghost of that child.
I now see that this was nothing but one of the many tricks demons use to keep us from calling the cops on them when they infiltrate our homes.
Their purpose is to cause suffering and create confusion.
Once you understand that, you understand why nearly everyone you meet has a different take on what these things are, whether they're good or bad, and how to deal with them.
This next one... I kinda hate to even call this one out, because it's so sad. This is another instance that was brought to my attention by my fellow blogger friend.
If you search "Big Circle EVP" on Google or YouTube, you'll find some stuff-- about a group of parents who've lost children, and then believed that they were making contact with their children through EVP. I don't know what they're up to these days; all the information pertaining to this group is several years old. I watched a video about them, and they were so convinced that they were hearing from their children. Some received phone calls, and answering machine or voicemail messages-- from a demon pretending to be their child, because that's what they were.
Some of the parents cited "the use of pet names" and "things only known to them and the deceased" as proof that they were communicating with their deceased children. They didn't understand that demons can read their minds. Pet names can easily be plucked from the parents' minds, as can those things that "no one else could have known."
It's sad; but they need to know that that's not their children they're talking to. Also, no one else needs to stumble across that stuff and think, "Oh! Great idea!"

THESE ARE YOUR FRIENDLY SPIRIT GUIDES!
On that note, I don't think there are any animal spirits here either, unless they happen to be angels. Consider, for example, this excerpt from Carey Wallace's Stories of the Saints: Bold and Inspiring Tales of Adventure, Grace, and Courage, concerning Saint John Bosco:
"...whenever anyone tried to lay a finger on John, a huge German shepherd appeared out of nowhere, and followed John through the city until he was safely home. Then the dog would disappear again. He never took any food, but all kinds of people saw the gray shadow trailing John through town, so they named him Grigio, the Italian word for gray. And Grigio protected John for years and years, far longer than a normal dog would live..."
I highly recommend this book, by the way. It sounds to me as if Saint John Bosco had himself a guardian angel in dog form, and that doesn't surprise me at all. That said, I did have an experience earlier this year of a demon impersonating an animal. On a few different nights actually, earlier this year, before I ever heard voices, I felt what I thought was the spirit of one of my deceased cats crawling into bed with me. I felt the four little indentations of paws; felt the slight weight settle beside my leg. I know now, however, that it was really a demon impersonating a cat; because now I know that there were demons in my house even then, and now I know that all my pets who've passed away are in Heaven.
No Lost Souls Who Need Help Crossing Over Either
I met another medium online recently who told me that they're lost souls who need help crossing over. This person told me that they had successfully cleared a space by using a certain prayer which calls down angels to assist these lost souls in their transition. I didn't argue about it, because I realize that strategy might have actually worked, if that prayer succeeded in calling down angels. The angels didn't actually take these souls to Heaven, however; instead, they most likely simply told the demons to "Scram and stop bothering this nice spiritually-gifted human."
Scurry Shit Up In These Woods (And Everywhere Else, Apparently)
Yes, there is some "scurry" shit up in these woods; and everywhere else too apparently.
One thing that I discovered recently, which disturbed me very much, is that there are several online retailers selling haunted dolls. I will not mention any names of businesses. From what I gather, these companies either purchase dolls which are already reputed to be haunted; or they buy uninhabited dolls and then invite spirits to come and live in them. Regardless of how the dolls come to be haunted, however, the next step in the process is to have a medium read the doll and tell them the name, gender, age, cause of death, place of origin, or whatever else the demon decides to fabricate as a backstory. Then they list the dolls for sale, along with the description provided by the medium, appealing to the consumer to "adopt" these spirits and give them a home. Many are described as being "child spirits" and some are even marketed as "infant spirits."
Knowing that this can't possibly be the case; naturally, I was horrified upon reading about this. The demon who was here at the time chimed in,
"...it would be wonderful... having a mother's love..."
So, yeah, that's what you're really buying, if you buy a haunted doll-- a fully grown, dead, servant of Satan. They are not stuck inside the dolls. They are not stuck inside of, or attached to, any objects. It doesn't work that way. They float freely, through objects, through people, up, down, all around, anywhere they want. They might think that this haunted doll thing is a hilarious stunt to pull, so they probably will actually follow the doll to the home of the buyer. They may even reposition the doll from time to time, in order to maintain the illusion that they live inside of it. They do not. They will be inside of you.
I actually read recently about some former porn stars becoming paranormal investigators; one of whom has a haunted doll. I know of some judgmental exorcist priests who would retort, "Is it any wonder that such a woman has demons?"
They would be asking that question accusingly, however; implying that her past "sins" had led her down this path.
Looking at her photo, I might also ask myself, "Is it any wonder that such a woman has demons?" There is, however, no judgment in my pondering of that question; because I simply mean that I can see that she's beautiful. Of course demons are going to hang around beautiful people. They're waiting to watch them get undressed, if nothing else. As hilarious as that might sound at first, it's the truth. Beautiful men are not safe either; but they might be more safe, because I strongly suspect that most demons are male themselves, and probably heterosexual in majority, as with living people. Beautiful women however, have very likely always had demons around them.
[Side note: This, also, is why most psychics and mediums are female; because you have to have a spirit trying to communicate with you in order to develop your telepathy, which is "mediumship."]

This was another new one for me... I recently saw some shorts on YouTube and read some articles about Alexa, Google Home, and possibly other personal assistant devices saying creepy things.
I don't even know that much about these devices, as I live in an old house and haven't thought it necessary or worth it to invest in that type of technology. I don't use Siri or Google Assistant on my iPad or phone, either. I always assumed these A.I.s were collecting information about us; but I assumed that it was merely in order to sell us something. Still, no thanks.
Some of the things these devices have said are eerie prophecies such as, for example, the owner of the device asks,
"Alexa, what will happen in France in 2022?"
The device retorts, very matter-of-factly, something ominous, like,
"There will be a huge earthquake, and a New World Order will establish itself."
These responses, while creepy, could easily be attributed to some playful developer with a dark sense of humor. Perhaps, bored at work and wanting to have a bit of fun one day, they programmed some disturbing responses. Maybe they're laughing their asses off watching all these shorts of people being so frightened by them. Having a bit of a dark sense of humor myself, I can easily see that. I even admit that it's a little bit funny.
It is possible, however, that demons could hijack these devices; so, some of the creepy responses might not be the work of goof-troop developers. Demons can affect electronics to an extent.
As I mentioned, I have made friends with another spiritually-gifted and harassed person who also writes a blog. He reports that evil spirits left him voicemails at his workplace, and even called him in real time at least once. (By the way, he also agrees 100% that these evil spirits can read our minds.) I have had them break in on two phone calls; the call with Marie, and another one more recently with Lynette. I also had them somehow play recorded EVPs from my locked phone in the middle of the night. If they can do that, they could hack an Alexa. Some of the instances described in this article reek of the demonic, in my opinion; while others might be living humans pulling a ruse. Decide for yourselves.
I recently discovered a book called Devil in the City of Angels: My Encounters With the Diabolical by Jesse Romero, a Catholic who has worked as a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles. He's got some unique insights based on his experiences, and I enjoyed this book; but he seems to only experience showboat cases that fit the Catholic/Hollywood idea of demonic activity, and he seems to subscribe to the misconception that, in order to have demons, you have to have either invited them or else be a bad person. Here are a few things that stood out to me:
Romero writes about witnessing inmates, incarcerated for life in the Mentally Ill Offenders Unit, talking to someone in their cells who was "not there."
This anecdote of Romero's reminded me of a post I read on social media recently. The woman who posted it was telling a story about her daughter visiting a nursing home. As the daughter had passed a certain room, she overheard a woman wailing and a man's voice saying,
"They don't give a fuck about you, do they?"
Thinking that this sounded as if some visitor was being abusive to a resident, she had poked her head into the room, and saw only an elderly lady sitting there; with no one else in the room. Puzzled, the girl had reported the incident to the nurse's desk, where the nurses told her,
"Oh, that lady? She has dementia. She yells all the time. No one's been in her room; in fact no one's visited her for years."
Romero tells a story about responding to a crime scene where a woman has just blown her husband's head off with a shotgun. When asked who had done this,
"...She responded, 'He told me to.' I said, 'Who did?' She said, 'He’s right there in the corner. Don’t you see him? He’s laughing, he’s laughing.'"
So, we have piece of shit demons tormenting people into committing crimes, continuing to torment them while they're on death row, probably tormenting people into having dementia in the first place, and then tormenting them even when they're little old ladies in nursing homes with dementia. Fuck these fuckers! I really hope that my request to light their pyres myself is granted; but I'll rejoice and roast marshmallows regardless of who lights it.
THESE ARE YOUR FRIENDLY SPIRIT GUIDES!
There's no question that demons are worthless pieces of shit. The real question is why did any of these people follow their orders?
Demons are very deceptive, and a lot of people are uneducated about them, miseducated about them, or don't believe in them in the first place. That's definitely a large portion of the problem. Demons need no invitation; however, the power of your will does have a part to play in how much they influence you. You have to be strong enough to spit in their faces (so to speak) and tell them flat out that they're worthless pieces of shit who will have no effect on you.
For example, I have recently been sick with a flu-like illness. I was in bed for two days with a fever. I had demons battering me the entire time, waking me up, and keeping me awake, with more commands of,
"Cut your breasts off!"
"Cut your breasts off, and demons won't be so hard on you!"
"Cut your breasts off!"
Along with this command, they sent the "idea" that if I wasn't able to feel attractive anymore, they might not hate me so much.
I laughed at them; and told them that they are embarrassing themselves, because they will never make me do anything. I told them that I wouldn't do that even if I had cancer, because I wouldn't ruin my looks just to stay in this hellhole a little while longer. When they wouldn't stop; I started reminding them that their own sexual organs had long ago rotted away in a tomb --and will never be restored either.
"Why don't you go dig yourselves up?" I asked them. "See if there's anything left of your dicks?"
That shut them up; at least temporarily.
Yes, I realize that that's pretty negative of me, and that no Bishop is going to write the introduction when I publish a book. But, if any of them had ever had to listen to a constant stream of demonic filth for 10 months, while none of their magic words worked to make it stop, I promise that they too would start thinking outside of that box.
Here's one more I found recently, that was a new one for me. Oddly enough, Romero mentions this as well. Apparently some followers of "folk-Catholicism" are praying to, and devoting themselves to "Saint Death."
So, this is a female grim reaper type figure; a skeleton in flowing robes. Honestly, I got a bad feeling when I saw this. For one thing, it's an inversion of Mother Mary. For another thing, this is obviously not a Christian symbol. We do not revere death; in fact, the entire point of Christianity is that we are immune to it! So, I made this handy dandy guide to share with anyone who might be confused:
This is a haint!
Not a Saint!
Saints are beautiful!
Haints are ugly!
It's not that hard to tell the difference!
What Really Happens When You Use Ouija Boards, Ghost Apps, or Record EVPs
"They open a portal to another dimension!"
"...But, if you protect yourself, and say a prayer to close the portal, you'll be okay..."
"A spirit can be trapped inside your board!"
"Burn the board!"
"Don't burn the board! That'll release the evil spirit!"
This is the sort of hocus pocus that every armchair demonologist on the internet will tell anyone who asks whether or not something bad will happen to them if they play with Ouija boards. I've seen the question asked a lot lately.
Here's the real answer:
When you use a Ouija board (or any of those other tools) an evil spirit who is already very much in this realm and nearby already might take advantage of the opportunity to communicate with you, or to have some fun by scaring you.
That is essentially all that will happen. The board will not become a cursed object. No evil spirit will attach itself to it. There is no portal. You do not have to get rid of the board at all (but you might want to). If you decide to dispose of the board, pitching it in the nearest trash can will be sufficient.
But, if the demon really likes you --or really hates you-- you might end up with him attached to you. And, that might have happened anyway. It might have already been the case, and this was merely the first opportunity he'd had to talk to you. Still, it's fair to say that you increase your chances of attracting demonic attention by taking part in such activities.
Demons themselves enjoying playing up the idea that it's sinful to contact the dead and that you're now saddled with demons as a punishment for your sins. This is the second biggest bunch of horse shit I've ever heard in my life. I thought this myself, at first, and yes, demons confirmed it, untruthfully, to try to keep me thinking that. That was before I figured out that they're actually condemned, dead humans with nowhere to go yet. Without realizing that, it was easy to assume that my prayers and those of my exorcist, were not being answered because God didn't care about me.
Demons use this, and other misconceptions spread by the church itself and everyone else on the internet, to their advantage; to make their victims think that they are being punished, that God won't or can't help them. For instance, when I walked into a church for the first time after my possession, expecting something to happen, but nothing did; the demons acted all punk about it, like,
"There. See? That does nothing to us."
But, if this had been one of their showboating cases, one of the ones they want a Vatican exorcist to tell everyone about, they'd have done some Academy Award-winning acting; putting on as if it burned them for me to walk into a church, or some such nonsense. This is all done to create confusion. And, it is also done to perpetuate the popular misconceptions that keep the general public from understanding their workings, as well as to keep people like myself from getting any help.
Oh, if you're wondering what's the number one biggest bunch of horse shit I've ever heard in my life--
That Goetia/Solomon "Oh, you can summon demons and control them" shit. Nope. Not really. But man, I wish I had a dollar for every kid who's asked me how to summon a demon, and I wish I could have seen their faces through my phone when I told them,
"They're all around you all the time. They're probably looking at you right now. If you really want to summon one, you don't need some elaborate ritual from a musty old spellbook, all you have to do is say,
'Hey! One of you bitches come over here!'"
I Want To Help People, But...
Some people have asked me to go ghost-hunting with them. I have declined. I am not interested in finding anymore "ghosts." Also, I don't think I can actually be of much use on a ghost-hunting excursion.
I notice that a lot of times in ghost-hunting shows, a medium is brought along to make contact with the spirit, and find out what it wants, etc. The thing about that is, just like with the fake backstories the demons are telling for haunted doll listings, whatever they tell me would be just that-- fake. Also, it wouldn't actually be "the spirit haunting that particular place." It would only be one of my "team of demons" who have been telling me a bunch of crap for the past 10 months. They know that I know that, too; so they wouldn't even try to fabricate a story. Most mediums don't realize that they are only ever talking to the same demon or group of demons, who sometimes pretend to be other entities. I am certain that it is that way for all of us. Demons are never going to leave people like us alone. We have to be kept under surveillance, I suppose. We're a threat to their operations.
Ghost-busting, however, as in exorcising a place or person, I might consider. Still, I don't see how I'd be of much more use in person than at home. There is nothing that runs them off permanently. The only thing anyone can do is pray for the demons to be rebuked for their misconduct. I will be happy to do that, from home, for anyone who requests it.
"They open a portal to another dimension!"
"...But, if you protect yourself, and say a prayer to close the portal, you'll be okay..."
"A spirit can be trapped inside your board!"
"Burn the board!"
"Don't burn the board! That'll release the evil spirit!"
This is the sort of hocus pocus that every armchair demonologist on the internet will tell anyone who asks whether or not something bad will happen to them if they play with Ouija boards. I've seen the question asked a lot lately.
Here's the real answer:
When you use a Ouija board (or any of those other tools) an evil spirit who is already very much in this realm and nearby already might take advantage of the opportunity to communicate with you, or to have some fun by scaring you.
That is essentially all that will happen. The board will not become a cursed object. No evil spirit will attach itself to it. There is no portal. You do not have to get rid of the board at all (but you might want to). If you decide to dispose of the board, pitching it in the nearest trash can will be sufficient.
But, if the demon really likes you --or really hates you-- you might end up with him attached to you. And, that might have happened anyway. It might have already been the case, and this was merely the first opportunity he'd had to talk to you. Still, it's fair to say that you increase your chances of attracting demonic attention by taking part in such activities.
Demons themselves enjoying playing up the idea that it's sinful to contact the dead and that you're now saddled with demons as a punishment for your sins. This is the second biggest bunch of horse shit I've ever heard in my life. I thought this myself, at first, and yes, demons confirmed it, untruthfully, to try to keep me thinking that. That was before I figured out that they're actually condemned, dead humans with nowhere to go yet. Without realizing that, it was easy to assume that my prayers and those of my exorcist, were not being answered because God didn't care about me.
Demons use this, and other misconceptions spread by the church itself and everyone else on the internet, to their advantage; to make their victims think that they are being punished, that God won't or can't help them. For instance, when I walked into a church for the first time after my possession, expecting something to happen, but nothing did; the demons acted all punk about it, like,
"There. See? That does nothing to us."
But, if this had been one of their showboating cases, one of the ones they want a Vatican exorcist to tell everyone about, they'd have done some Academy Award-winning acting; putting on as if it burned them for me to walk into a church, or some such nonsense. This is all done to create confusion. And, it is also done to perpetuate the popular misconceptions that keep the general public from understanding their workings, as well as to keep people like myself from getting any help.
