Demonology FAQ’s
Demonology FAQ’s
Q: Are Ouija boards really dangerous?
A: It is not the Ouija board itself which is dangerous. The potential danger stems from the fact that by using a Ouija board to communicate with spirits (or any similar divination device), an individual is opening up his or her free will, thereby leaving oneself vulnerable to an invading spirit presence. There are a great many examples of individuals successfully contacting what at first appear to be “nice” spirits through the use of o Ouija board…only to have these spirits turn on them once they have gained a foothold. Demons can be very adept at masquerading as departed loved ones, even going so far as to reveal hidden knowledge, which was supposedly known only to the deceased…and this hidden information will often eventually prove to be verifiable. However, once demonic spirits have gained someone’s trust, they will then cleverly begin mixing lies with the truth, in an effort to confuse. Some individuals eventually become emotionally dependant upon these “spirit friends”…and a demonic presence will have no reservations about using a person’s loneliness or emotional vulnerabilities to gain a stronger foothold. By the time it is too late, and a hostile entity has revealed it’s true colors, the person who has unwittingly been communicating with these types of spirits will often find that they are much harder to get rid of, than they were to bring in. Also, under no circumstances should anyone ask a spirit to manifest itself (appear) to them through the use of a Ouija board…since a demonic spirit will consider this an open invitation to infiltrate that person’s life!
Q: How true to life are the events portrayed in “The Exorcist”? A: “The Exorcist”, written by William Peter Blattey, is based upon an actual case of demonic possession, and the subsequent exorcism, of a fourteen-year-old boy, which took place in the U.S. in 1949. Some of the events are documented as having actually occurred, such as writing appearing on the boy’s flesh, and his ability (while under possession) of speaking in foreign languages. In the actual case, the exorcism eventually proved successful, and the boy went on to live a normal, healthy life. None of the priests involved actually died as the result of the exorcism, or became possessed themselves, although one priest did suffer a broken nose. Some of the more bizarre phenomena portrayed in both the book and the movie never actually happened, such as the head spinning and the “spider walk”. Some of the events portrayed in “The Exorcist”, however, when taken in context, are actually supposed to be telepathically projected into the minds of certain characters.
One thing I should mention about “The Exorcist” which happens to be very true to life, is that these types of parasitic, hostile entities are often initially and inadvertently “invited” in to begin oppressing certain individuals, through the use of a Ouija board.
Animal Ghosts
I have an affinity for stories of animals ghosts like the faithful dog returning to visit his master. I personally have experienced this with my dog Sparkee (who is featured on The Shadow lands main page) who came back 3 times to visit me and also appeared in a lucid dream. I have heard many stories about other animals returning from the grave. The most common seem to be dogs, cats, horses and birds. The experience can be auditory like hearing the jiggling of a collar and tags or hearing the animal bark, meow, etc. Others may see the animal like I did in my case. I have also heard of people feeling the animal curling up next to them in bed and not seeing anything there at the time. This brings us to the question of how is this possible. If we believe that ghosts are the spirits or souls of a deceased human being then wouldn’t that mean that the animal spirits are the same thing?
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.
