A demon is any entity which is not of the light.  Usually this means the entity is influencing those around him in a negative way.  A demon does NOT have to look like a big scary monster with horns and a tail!  Many demons may be small, some may be large, most cannot be seen at all.  Yet their affect and influence are very real.

In the movies we see scenes of demons attacking humans, throwing them through the air with the powers of their mind, causing crosses to turn upside-down, causing possessed people to experience various “phenomena”.  Some examples of movies which show these very extreme effects include The Exorcist series and Constantine.  These phenomena are real and have been documented in many cases of exorcism.  The Demon Slayer team has a great deal of experience dealing with such cases.

However, in actual fact most demonic attack is far more subtle!  Think of it this way: why would a demon spend all their energy to throw you off a building when instead they can infiltrate your mind, causing you to feel depressed and causing you to think you are worthless so that YOU throw yourself off the building all by yourself!   This is truly the way of demons.

Many symptoms of demonic attack “look” a lot like psychological illness, and in fact it can be challenging to differentiate between psychological illness and outside influence, i.e. attack.  This is something the Demon Slayer team is specialist in and can assist with.

Here are some examples of demonic attack or demonic influence.  If you experience any of these, please contact us for further consultation.

• Thinking thoughts which are “not like you” or which “seem to come from somewhere else” or which “come out of the blue”.
• Sudden depression.  Sometimes the depression is severe, sometimes it is very subtle.
• Feeling like suicide, like life is not worth living or wondering why you are here.
• Having severe arguments with your spouse or friends.
• Feeling like someone or something else is controlling you.  You may feel controlled all the time or only some of the time.
• Feeling like someone or something is pressuring you to do certain acts.
• Hearing one or multiple voices in your head that are negative, persuasive, or commanding you to do something. For example, hearing a voice persuade you that a certain friend should be avoided, or asking you to let them “in” to your life in some way.
• Deep personality changes.  For example, someone stays at home all the time when they used to be very gregarious.
• Creepy feelings.
• An area of your house or your neighbourhood which feels negative or oppressive.
• Any kind of phenomena.  For example, scratching sounds, things falling off walls or shelves, religious or spiritual items being moved or changed.
• Feeling attacked when others do not see or experience anything.  Sometimes this feeling of being attacked may come with physical pain that is medically inexplicable.  Usually it will come with psychological pain of some sort – terror or anguish for example.
• An aversion to prayer or an inability to pray.
• Feelings of hopelessness.
• Being unable to stand any contact with religious or spiritual items.  For example, sudden strong aversion to going into a church or temple, aversion to being touched by a crucifix, and so on.

These are just examples – there are many other possibilities.  When in doubt please contact us.
