Demon Infestation: How to Determine if a Ghost, is Actually a Demon


If you have ever seen the movie, The Exorcist, you may recall that when the disturbances first began, they were little more than a few bumps in the attic, and the odd behavior of the child. It is for this reason that paranormal activity can often be frightening. The paranormal resides in to the realm of the unknown, whether the root of the problem be a ghost, or a demon.
Often a demon infestation can begin just as ghost activity would. You may see movement out of the corner of your eye, have a feeling of uneasiness, or possibly hear noises that couldn’t be coming from a natural source.
A demonic infestation will usually follow a certain pattern, and in nearly every documented case, the door to demon infestation was opened either intentionally, or unintentionally, through the use of Ouiji boards, séances or some other type of conjuring. Though only a very small percentage of people playing with the supernatural, actually suffer these types of consequences, the danger is there, and real.
The first stage of a demon infestation involves such typical ghost activity as cold spots, strange odors, as well as knocking in the walls, and other types of noises.
During the next stage, the entity may become more violent in nature; objects may levitate, or disappear altogether, damage may be done to the house or personal items, and there may actually be attacks on those living in the house.
After a period of wearing down those in the home, the demon will eventually attempt to possess someone, and the possession does not have to be on a continual basis, and usually happens intermittently. Demon possession is dangerous and should dealt with as soon as possible by a professional exorcist.
Most exorcists, especially priests of the Roman Catholic Church, have a strict guideline that must be followed before permission is granted for an exorcism. The possessed person must first have a thorough psychological, and physical examination in order to rule out physical or mental illness. Additionally, they must show knowledge of things they could not possibly have access to, and be speaking in languages they did not know previously. There are other rules involved, but these are the basics. Permission for an exorcism is only granted in a very small percentage of cases.
To keep yourself safe from the danger of demon infestation, it is best to not attempt any type of communication with the dead unless you are very experienced in this type of phenomena.
