Demonology 101
Demonology 101
A “Demon” was originally a Greek term which meant a wise, guardian spirit. In present day spiritualism and parapsychology, the word connotes an entity which appears to have a malicious and resentful nature, and is possibly of a non-human origin: differentiated from a spirit which proceeded from a once-living person.
What characteristics do these entities evince?
1- They seem interested in, and often resentful (perhaps envious?) of living human beings.
2- Although they have been known to inflict minor injuries on people, such as scratches, welts and even what appear to be bite marks, primarily they assault the human mind through oppressive anxiety and fear.
3- They sometimes make their presence known through our senses, such as inexplicable foul odors and low guttural growling (examples of which have been recorded during TAPS investigations as well as investigations by other paranormal research groups).
Demons may exist as a “quasi life-form,” intelligent though not reasoning as do human beings, and existing outside the boundaries of our experience of linear time.
An exorcism or spiritual cleansing may provide a remedy, either temporary or hopefully permanent, against demonic infestation by making the environment hostile for the entity or entities.
Here’s a topic for speculation: Obviously, not much is known for certain regarding these entities called demons other than their presence is quite inconvenient. Consider, could a human spirit become demonic, or be assimilated by the demonic entities? Are they always of non-human origin?
What do you think?
Black Or Dark Apparitions
I get many questions regarding apparitions or figures that appear black or dark in color. A majority of the people I speak to have already assumed that, because of the color, the apparition is evil or demonic in nature. This is simply not the truth in the majority of cases. A human spirit may also appear as a dark shadowy form in many cases. The “evil” that most of these people feel at the time they see the black figures is the natural fear being misinterpreted as an evil presence. Many people are frightened by the normal symptoms of a haunting like footsteps, doors opening, voices, etc. They assume they are being hounded by demons from hell. One of the main purposes of this page is to help people understand better what is happening and defuse some of the fear involved in these encounters.
Now, there are evil spirits, but most of you will never encounter them. Even in my own experiences, there was only one apparition that I definitely felt was evil. I drew that conclusion because I could compare the feelings I got from that one spirit to the others I had encountered for 18 years prior to seeing that one. The other black imps as I call them made me feel very uneasy but I cannot say that they were, without a doubt, demons. I am still leaning toward that being the case but I have to keep an open mind and assume that anything is possible. It is also possible that you may be get bad vibes from a human spirit that, for some reason, is not friendly toward you. Perhaps you changed something in their house like the wallpaper in their favorite room or something else to make them feel like you are messing with things that belonged to them in life. Other than typical symptoms of a haunting, there is little else the mean spirited human ghost can do to you except make you feel like it doesn’t like you. In conclusion, seeing a black shadowy spirit does not mean that you are definitely facing an evil spirit. You need to investigate further to determine what the presence is, and a majority of the time you’ll realize it is a human spirit and not demonic. From my experience, you will know by the actions of the spirit and the feelings you get from it, whether or not it’s evil. Just keep in mind the odds are against it being evil.

Basic Equipment For The Modern Ghost Hunter
Basic Equipment For The Modern Ghost Hunter
There is an ever increasing amount of equipment on the market that is now being used on investigations. Unlike the early ghost hunters of the early part 20th century we live in an age of technology and we are fortunate enough to be able to use digital recorders and night vision cameras etc but bear in mind that these are not ghost detectors by any means. Their purpose is to simply record data of the natural environment at the location of a reputed haunting. A record of the temperature, electromagnetic fields etc all helps to build a picture of what is taking place in the environment around a haunting.
Electromagnetism
Electromagnetism
Let’s talk about this subject called (EM) Electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is a large, encompassing theory, so it’s no wonder that many people do not understand it because we cannot see it, feel it or even taste it. A basic book on it will almost immediately dive into the world of boring mathematics, such as Maxwell’s equations!
Electric and magnetic fields (EMF) are invisible lines of force that surround any electrical device. Power lines, electrical wiring, and electrical equipment all produce EMF. There are many other sources of EMF as well. The focus of this discussion is on the basic understanding of EMF–that is, EMF associated with the generation, transmission, and use of electric power.
