Investigating claims of visits from otherworldly creatures, aliens living among us, abductions of humans to alien spacecraft, and accounts of interstellar cooperation since the UFO crash in Roswell, this discussion of the theories and mysteries surrounding aliens is packed with thought-provoking stories and shocking revelations of alien involvement in the lives of Earthling
Not to long ago the church's beliefs about the nature of living women and of human sexuality at the time led to the belief that every newborn infant was possessed by an indwelling demon from hell. These foul dark evil creatures posses the newborn because of its intimate contact it's innocent body within its mother's birth canal.
Many too internationally so believe that demonic forces of Satan's legions of unholy damned angels could or can live or inhabit within the living human body. Also see: Womb Ghosts --- A womb with a Boo!
The matter as many know was taken seriously by the Roman Catholic Church at one time. The church routinely exorcised each newborn at the time of baptism with the following direct ritual:
"I exorcise you unclean spirit in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Come out and leave this servant of God [infant's full given name].
Accursed and damned spirit, hear the command of God himself, he who walked upon the sea and extended his right hand to Peter as he was sinking. Therefore, accursed devil, acknowledge your condemnation... and depart from this servant of God [infant's name]...Never dare, accursed devil, to violate the sign of the holy cross which we place upon his/her forehead. Through Christ our Lord."
+ Amen +
The church over the years has taught that demons can interfere in one of two ways with their victims: They can cause an obsession, in which the demon fills the mind of its victim with evil thoughts. Cause them to physically feel physical pain or actually destroy a persons organ two in the unnatural process.
They can also as many have witnessed be able to resort to actual full possession in which the demon physically takes over the human body. It can cause in some cases great supernatural strength, strange speech, physical manifestations. Not to mention a host of other physical symptoms and anomalies.
There is enormous evidence of "ghosts" and "demons" in all parts of the world. And that fact that so many have believed that ghosts or demonic forces could attack a fetus is nothing new. But ghosts and demons through history have had other reasons to enter a woman's womb in many different cultures from reincarnation to vengeance. Even the actual belief that "Dead Babies" have been known to haunt their mothers wombs after a abortion or miscarriage.
By today's common understanding that when a person dies only his physical body ceases to exist. His subtle ghost body (consisting of the subconscious mind, intellect, ego and soul, i.e. minus the physical body) however continues to exist and moves on to the other regions of the universe. Or into someone else's body or body cavity. Many might remember here the ghost in Stephen King's best seller and movie "The Shinning" in habiting the boys mouth.
Often a womb infested with a ghost is that of the ghost of loved ones, or to those of strangers, and the worst case possible Devils and Demons. Any woman's womb can attract many different forms of a paranormal haunting at least that is the common belief amongst many. And so can men. The ghost that haunt men are often found living in their genitals, bowels or stomach. And the number of ghosts or demons and devil's that can infect a person is said to be uncountable.
Dead Lovers and Husbands are notorious for inhabiting a woman's womb. Usually they do this just to keep the woman they loved from finding another suitor. Or to be born again as that women's new born child.
Sally Howard has been encountering ghosts, demons and entities for many years And by this untouched original "Ghost Womb Photo" you can see that she has a Womb Ghost attached to her. TO SEE LARGER IMAGE VISIT HERE. Also a break down of what can bs seen in the image.
These very malevolent ghosts and sometimes demons often show up in ghost photos with their heads or faces exposed peering from the haunted woman's vaginal or lower stomach or crotch area.
Demonical Possession
The exorcism ritual includes: "prayers, the blessing and sprinkling of holy water, the laying of hands on the possessed and making the sign of the cross, appeals to Christ, the Holy Spirit and the saints of the church."
There are in a majority of those reading this in this world that fear things they cannot see or understand. Be it the daily normal complexities of life, or a disastrous attack by unseen paranormal demonic forces. The truth to the actual problems and atrocities these insidious creatures and black shadow forms manifest are often enough to drive one to insanity, crippling deformities and possibly death. Most doctors consider this to be the ramblings of a sick mind and or body and in essence try to sedate through modern medicine the actual beast hiding within. Many consider that fact that nut houses or insane asylums actually disappeared with the advent of psychiatry through the now prescribing of drugs to suppress a humans strange thoughts and behaviors. But I began to wonder as maybe our fore fathers might ages ago that in truth it is an actual medical form of exorcism of sorts. The same might apply to the physical surgical removal of tumors, diseased organs or unexplained medical emergencies.
Many in China and the far east still believe that in truth the suffering of real human and animal health anomalies are caused by evil spirits that infest and inflict disease and physical trauma to the host it so chooses to infest.
Proof Of Demons
Many movies today peer into the strange real horror of this shadow world, Many who view these films do consider such as an authors fabrication or just Hollywood hype of what these so called beings can do to harm the living mortal world. Whether perceived as real or not the psychological effects have sent many an individual over the edge of insanity. Movies concerning possession and encounters with these dark forces often shock us and make us question the validity that they possess some insights or hidden truths. Examples may be seen in number one horror movie if all times The Exorcist it horror legacy has spawned such recent works as Paranormal activity 1, 2 and the forth coming expectation pf a Paranormal Activity 3, The Rite, and many chilling frightening others of the genre. But as life and modern 21st century thinking prevails, many still question that such attacks as these by unseen unnatural forces are pure Hollywood Paranormal Dramas and nothing more.
Demonic attacks may root themselves in many tragedies that one might shrug off as just daily normal bad occurrences. Depression as any demonologist believe leads one into an open frame of mind when actual demonic forces can effect one.
Evil spirits might plague a person with an obsession, or cause them to do things and view them in often abstract ways. When a persons rationally kicks in the demon is then exorcised immediately. but if seduced the person might fall deeper under the demons control over their body and thoughts. the weaker willed the individual the quicker the dark forces will control you. The more controlled intelligent person might in the same way fight this off through seeking help or making changes because they realize something is wrong.
Through out recorded history great religious figures have been claimed to be plagued by devils as has the common man. They through their tales often explore the nature and actions such evil manifest.
Jesus Christ as we all know from the bible is said to have cast a entire legion of real demon into a pack of swine, and he was just so later tempted 3 times by the devil himself. As also he cast out demons as an exorcist from the living. Jesus and his apostles were able to cast out demons (also called devils, unclean spirits, or evil spirits).
The great sacred Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke describe a wretched excuse of a living man who had a evil dark host of demons residing in Him.
Matthew 8:28-34 says, "When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 'What do you want with us, Son of God?' they shouted. 'Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?' Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. The demons begged Jesus, 'If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.' He said to them, 'Go!' So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region."
Matthew 8:28-34, Mark 5:1-20, and Luke 8:26-33 state that the demons were concerned about the time, as it was not the "appointed time." Luke discusses the demons concern about going into the "Abyss" (Luke 8:31). The Abyss is a place for evil spirits and a place of eternal judgment. James 2:19 declares that even the demons believe that there is only "one God," however the demons "shudder" because they are aware of the judgment of God that they (demons) will suffer eternal punishment. Matthew 25:41 describes eternal punishment (the Abyss) as an "eternal fire."
Fr. Gary Thomas of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego, CA, was interviewed briefly on the ABC program Good Morning America for 2006-MAY-16. He said that the Vatican is asking each diocese to have a trained exorcist on staff.
In early 2010, Father Gabriele Amorth, 85,stated that he has dealt with 70,000 cases of demonic possession in his 25 years service as the Vatican's chief exorcist. He said that there are power struggles in the Vatican as well as "cardinals who do not believe in Jesus and bishops who are linked to the Demon." He claimed that another example of satanic behavior was the Vatican cover-up of the deaths in 1999 of Alois Estermann -- then the commander of the Swiss Guard -- his wife and Corporal Cedric Tornay, a Swiss Guard. All were found shot dead. He said: "They covered up everything immediately. Here one sees the rot". He also cites the widespread sexual abuse of children, the attempted murder of Pope John Paul II in 1981 and the attack by a mentally ill woman of Pope Benedict XVI at 2009 Christmas time as satanically inspired events.
POPE HAS PERFORMED 3 EXORCISMS TO WARD OFF DEVIL
Reuters
Monday, February 18, 2002
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope John Paul has performed three exorcisms during
his 23-year pontificate, including one as recently as September, one of the
Catholic Church's leading exorcists said on Monday.
Father Gabriele Amorth told Italy's La Stampa newspaper that the Pope had
carried out his first exorcism in 1982.
"This girl was rolling around on the ground. People in the Vatican had never
seen anything like it. For us exorcists it is run of the mill," Amorth said.
The Pope has since taken part in two more exorcisms, including that of a
20-year-old woman in September, to underline the importance of the ceremony.
"He carried out these exorcisms because he wanted to give a powerful
example. He wanted to give the message that we must once again start
exorcising those who are possessed by demons," Amorth said.
For Roman Catholics, exorcism is the casting out of what is believed to be
an evil spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands. Amorth said
possession by demons took many shapes.
"I have seen many strange things...objects such as nails spat out. The devil
told a woman that he would make her spit out a transistor radio and lo and
behold she started spitting out bits and pieces of a radio transistor," he
said.
"I have seen levitations, and a force that needed six or eight men to hold
the person still. Such things are rare, but they happen," he said.
Amorth said the woman whom the Pope exorcised in September was still
undergoing treatment.
"It's a very serious case. A series of curses," he said.
The interview was published a day after the Pope warned of the daily
temptations of the devil during his Sunday address.
"The devil, the 'prince of this world', even today continues his insidious
actions. Each and every man...is tempted by the devil when he least expects
it," the Pope said.
The official Roman Catholic exorcism starts with prayers, the blessing and
sprinkling of holy water, the laying of hands on the possessed, and the
making of the sign of the cross.
It ends with the priest commanding the devil to leave the possessed person.
Vatican backs exorcism course
Church lacks priests qualified to practice ritual
By Tracy Wilkinson, Los Angeles Times | February 18, 2005
ROME -- The Roman Catholic Church is facing a shortage that you might not have heard about: qualified exorcists.
About 100 priests rose in prayer yesterday, asked St. Mary for protection, then sat down to an eight-week study of exorcism and how to distinguish and fight true demonic possession.
The course at Rome's Regina Apostolorum, a pontifical university, represents the first time a Vatican-sanctioned study at this level has been dedicated to exorcism.
In Italy, the number of official exorcists has soared over the past 20 years to between 300 and 400, church officials say. But they are not enough to handle the avalanche of requests for help from hundreds of tormented people who believe they are possessed. In the United States, the shortage is even more acute.
Only a small percentage of the afflicted are judged to be in need of exorcism, and learning how to tell the difference between demonic infiltration and other psychological or physical traumas is the main goal of the priestly students taking the course at the Regina Apostolorum.
"When you're dealing with a reality like the devil," said the Rev. Clement Machado, 39, of Canada, "you can't just learn the theoretical. You need the pragmatic experience. . . . It's such uncharted territory."
Italy's most famous exorcist, the Rev. Gabriele Amorth, is not participating in the program but was full of praise for it.
"It's very positive," Amorth, 79, said in an interview this week. "I hope it will increase the number of exorcists." Without a doubt, he said, it will increase interest in the ancient and oft-maligned ritual.
Exorcism -- the use of prayer to rid a person or place of the devil or demonic spirits -- has its roots in early Christianity. It fell out of favor around the 18th century, after the Enlightenment and advances in science and modern philosophy, but has experienced something of a revival in the last couple of decades. The reemergence is partly because of Pope John Paul II's belief that Satan is a real presence in daily life that must be battled.
Many exorcists avoid publicity, sensitive to the sensationalist portrayal of their practice as seen in Hollywood movies and pulp novels. That made the insights offered in the pontifical course, opened to the media for its inaugural session only, all the more unusual.
"The biggest obstacle has been the lack of training of priests and bishops, who haven't felt sufficiently equipped to confront" what the church believes is a rising obsession with satanic cults, witchcraft, and the occult, said Giuseppe Ferrari, an academic specializing in social-religious phenomena who lectured by videophone from Bologna.
"Satanism is very much in fashion now," said the Rev. Paulo Scarafoni, rector of the Regina Apostolorum, which is run by the conservative Legionaries of Christ.
The Rev. Gabriele Nanni, an exorcist from the town of Modena, told the priest-students that medical doctors can be consulted to eliminate physical or psychological causes behind a patient's distress. The symptoms of authentic demonic possession, he said, include utter revulsion to holy symbols such as a crucifix or baptismal oils. Sometimes, he said, the patient enters a deep trance.
The cleansing ritual, he told students, must be kept simple, with much prayer and without pride in one's accomplishments.
"An exorcism is tantamount to a miracle -- an extraordinary intervention of God," Nanni said. "It's not that we poor men are so powerful to be able to banish the devil. It's that God gives us the power."
Nowhere is the shortage of exorcists seen as more serious than in the United States, where skepticism about the practice abounds. There are fewer than a dozen official exorcists at US dioceses, and it is a topic that most American priests seem to avoid.
Martin Luther (10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German priest and professor of theology who initiated the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the emperor.
The Reformation, which resulted in Europe's Protestant churches, is usually reckoned to have begun when Luther nailed 95 theses to the door of Wittenberg's Castle Church on 31 October 1517.
The scholar suffered from constipation which he actually blamed because he believed this aliment to be caused by demonic forces actually living inside and possessing his bowels and his body.
Whether actual Bowel spirits, Anal Ghosts or demons plagued the founders life and toilet habits no one knows for sure what magical remedies he practiced or if perhaps an attempt at an actual Catholic exorcism was performed to rid him of his problem.
Demons could also have sexual relationships with men women and animals, in most cases such forces may rape the such innocence with know real apparent motives.

Though many through out the eons many Scholars have brushed off the ignorance of dark times when demons devils and all kinds of Satanic spawn brought woe unto the lives of mortal men, as delusions or a sick minds manifestations.
Many today still query over what they believe to be the curse of "The Exorcist ". They not only fear the movie and truly wonder how it still effects those that research it with actual horrors beyond ones imagination. Many believe just by owning or having a copy of the movie on DVD on their shelf or anything associated with the true story the curse is upon them.
A recent resurgence in paranormal theme movies about exorcisms and over the top paranormal activity and beings, many in the field of ghost and demon research believe is at the core. There have actually been many films that have a real or supposed "curse" on them that has affected the production, and even the cast and crew. The most famous are probably the Poltergeist series, "The Exorcist", "The Crow", and "The Omen." It is rumored that cast member have died because of the curses. Whether they were deaths or accidents, these supposedly cursed movies may make you think a little. Despite the fact that some of the haunted or cursed rumors have been proven or falsified, there are still questions concerning the ones that haven't. And still today many filmmakers, think twice before treading on this unholy ground.
DEMONIC POSSESION OR CURSE BASED ON A TRUE STORY
The Exorcist, movie which starred and debuted Linda Blair as a young girl possessed by an evil spirit was based on the real life story of a thirteen-year-old Lutheran boy from Georgetown, USA.
Linda Denise Blair (born January 22, 1959) is an American actress.[Blair is best known for her role as the possessed child, Regan, in the 1973 acclaimed blockbuster The Exorcist, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award and two Golden Globes, winning one. She reprised her role in 1977's Exorcist II: The Heretic. Please also note here that Blair was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Aspects of the film "The Exorcist"are based upon a rite of exorcism performed by the Jesuit priest, Fr. William S. Bowdern, who formerly taught at both St. Louis University and St. Louis University High School.
The Exorcist is a 1973 American horror film directed by William Friedkin, adapted from the 1971 novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty and based on the exorcism case of Robbie Mannheim, dealing with the demonic possession of a young girl and her mother’s desperate attempts to win back her daughter through an exorcism conducted by two priests. The film features Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, Max von Sydow, Kitty Winn, Lee J. Cobb, Jason Miller, and Mercedes McCambridge. The film is one of a cycle of 'demonic child' movies produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including Rosemary's Baby and The Omen.
The actual possessed boy – who the newspapers of the time named as Roland - manifested his ‘possession’ by levitating, overturning furniture, speaking in a deep, gravelly voice – often Latin - using obscenities, moving his head in a bizarre, snake-like fashion, spitting with amazing accuracy into the eyes of priests and producing welts on his body that spelt out words. All of this is documented. The media first became involved in this case when The Washington Post ran an article on August 10, 1949 titled “Pastor Tells Eerie Tale of ‘Haunted’ Boy.” Written in an almost tongue-in-cheek style by reporter Bill Brinkley, the piece tells an “out-of-this-world” story of a local 13-year-old boy.
His body also became horribly bloated, his room dropped to icy temperatures, and he slashed the arms of a priest called into help him.
Roland is believed to have become possessed after his aunt taught him how to use the Ouija board.
It was January of 1949 when the bizarre and terrifying paranormal events began in the boy’s home. Eerie scratching noises bombarded the usually quite residence. Soon after the noises started, Roland’s aunt mysteriously died. But Roland continued using the Ouija Board, only now it was to contact his aunt.
Soon, the noises in the house suddenly shifted into Roland’s bedroom.
The boy’s bed would shake violently, toys and other objects would fly across the room and the scratching sounds escalated.
Frantic with worry, Roland’s mother decided to contact a priest. When the minister visited Roland’s room, the boy started speaking in Latin – a language he had never learnt. He told the priest he was the devil.
The minister arranged for Roland to spend a night with him in his own home so he could witness any strange behavior without interference from the family.
While sitting in the dark, the priest watched and listened as the boy slept. Then suddenly, he heard scratching on the walls. He woke the boy and placed him in a heavy armchair, the chair tipped over spilling the boy to the floor, while several blankets flew around the room.
Roland first underwent exorcism at Georgetown University Hospital. He was strapped to a bed as Father E. Albert Hughes conducted the ceremony. The boy allegedly broke free of his restraints and slashed Hughes’s arm with a bedspring. The priest required 100 stitches to close the wound.
The exorcism was unsuccessful. Although Dr. J. B. Rhine, director of the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University, referred to the haunting as a very impressive manifestation.
On August 20, 1949, The Washington Post stated that it took over thirty exorcism rituals by three separate religious denominations to cast the devil from the boy’s body.
Roland was finally freed of demonic possession by Father William Bowdern at Alexian Brothers Hospital in St. Louis. The Times-Herald (Washington, D.C.) An article by William Flythe, Jr. on August 11, 1949 titled “‘Haunted’ Boy’s Parents Tell Of Ghost Messages.”The article tells that the young boy lived in the “Brentwood section northeast” and also tells that the family had found dermographic messages written in a rash on the boy’s body. The article states that when the messages were brought to the attention of the minister involved, “he could detect nothing more than an ordinary rash.” The family reported that the boy was taken to St. Louis, where he returned to normalcy after experiencing visions of St. Michael chasing away the devil.
Facts About The Cursed Exorcist Movie
Nine individuals in unrelated circumstances are said to died during the making of "The Exorcist".
Many of the film's participants claimed the film was cursed. Screenplay writer William Peter Blatty stated on video that there were some strange occurrences during the filming. The set for "The Exorcist" burnt down during production delaying the film for 6 weeks.
Lead actress Ellen Burstyn indicated some rumors are true in her 2006 autobiography Lessons in Becoming Myself. Due to a studio fire, the interior sets of the MacNeil residence (with the exception of Regan's bedroom) had to be rebuilt and caused a setback in pre-production. Friedkin claimed that a priest was brought in numerous times to bless the set.
After difficulties encountered in the New York production, Blatty asked Fr. King (see reference above) to bless the Washington crew on its first day of filming at the foot of Lauinger Library's steps to 37th Street. The incident was recounted in Fr. King's 2009 Washington Post obituary.
Other issues include Blair's harness breaking when she is thrashing on the bed causing permanent damage to the actor's spine. While filming the vaginal crucifix stabbing scene, Ellen Burstyn was seriously injured when the crew pulled her harness too hard after Blair hits her across the bedroom.
Irish actor Jack MacGowran died from influenza shortly after he filmed his role as director Burke Dennings. Jack McGowen many accounts state died of a heart-attack after completing his role in the film
The son of Mercedes McCambridge, who did the voice-over for the demon, killed himself, his wife, and children in a murder-suicide in 1987.
It caused widespread hysteria when released. Reports of fainting, people being institutionalized, and at least one miscarriage.
It was banned on video in Finland.
Linda Blair had a mental breakdown during the filming
Linda Blair’s grandfather died
Max Von Sydow’s - brother died.
A night-watchman died
A special effects expert died
And a cameraman’s newborn baby perished
Are these facts as many believe normal occurrences, or are they part of the demonic force resurfacing to collect it's due? Those who research and hunt for the truths of this headline making case have also reported strange occurrences effecting their lives after they have visited locations associated with the movie and the actual case itself.
DEMONS
Hidden deep as many believe even in our actual DNA. The though of dark evil creatures known as demons have come to us from our established modern and ancient religions, mythology, occultism and folklore, a demon or daemon, daimon; from Greek δαίμων daimôn, is a supernatural being described as something that is not human and in ordinary usage malevolent.
The original neutral Greek word "daimon" does not carry the negative connotation initially understood by implementation of the Koine (Hellenistic and New Testament Greek) δαίμονιον (daimonion), and later ascribed to any cognate words sharing the root, originally intended to denote a spirit or spiritual being. In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the derived Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered an "unclean spirit" which may cause demonic possession, to be addressed with an act of exorcism.
In Western occultism and Renaissance magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of Greco-Roman magic, Jewish demonology and Christian tradition, a demon is a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled. Many of the demons in literature were once fallen angels.
The great supposed true existence of foul demons is an important concept in many modern religions and occultist traditions. In some present-day cultures, demons are still feared in popular superstition, largely due to their alleged power to possess living creatures. The dark powers or said to be able to control common pets especially cats, Dogs and even reptiles in particular.
Demonology is the systematic study of demons or beliefs about demons.[ It is the branch of theology relating to superhuman beings who are not gods. It deals both with benevolent beings that have no circle of worshippers or so limited a circle as to be below the rank of gods, and with malevolent beings of all kinds. The original sense of "demon", from the time of Homer onward, was a benevolent being, but in English the name now holds connotations of malevolence. Demons, when regarded as spirits, may belong to either of the classes of spirits recognized by primitive animism; that is to say, they may be human, or non-human, separable souls, or discarnate spirits which have never inhabited a body. A sharp distinction is often drawn between these two classes, notably by the Melanesians, the West Africans, and others; the Arab jinn, for example, are not reducible to modified human souls; at the same time these classes are frequently conceived as producing identical results, e.g. diseases.
^"Demonology" at Dictionary.com Unabridged, (v 1.1) Random House, Inc.. Retrieved January 29, 2007.
In the contemporary Western occultist tradition (perhaps epitomized by the work of Aleister Crowley), a demon, such as Choronzon, the "Demon of the Abyss", is a useful metaphor for certain inner psychological processes ("inner demons"), though some may also regard it as an objectively real phenomenon. Some scholars[4] believe that large portions of the demonology (see Asmodai) of Judaism, a key influence on Christianity and Islam, originated in Zoroastrianism, and were transferred to Judaism during the Persian era.
Demonology is the actual name for the intense study of demons. Demons are often in the religious aspect are believed to be that of God's fallen angels now under the command of great evil Satan or Lucifer.
Demoniacal possession is when a human is inhabited or 'taken over' by a demon. There are also as many state reported cases of inanimate objects, animals and even films having demonic forces controlling them.
Evocation is the act of calling or summoning a spirit, demon, god or other supernatural agent, in the Western mystery tradition. Comparable practices exist in many religions and magical traditions
The conjuration of the ghosts or souls of the dead for the purpose of divination is called necromancy. When it is said that a person is calling upon or conjuring misfortune or disease, it is due to the ancient belief that personified diseases and misfortune as evil deities, spirits or demons that could enter a human or animal body.
REAL DEMONIC ATTACKS
Demons: fallen angels who sided with Satan in his rebellion against God in the kingdom of heaven (Rev 12:4). Through out the centuries have openly been labeled and referred to as demons.
Demonic Oppression: due to actions or behavior of a person that results in mild to extreme harassment by fallen angel (demons).
Demonic Possession: when one or possibly more fallen angels (demons) inhabit the body of a human being taking control of that body by expressing their will and behavior through the body of the possessed person.
When a demon or as many refer to them as unholy forces effect an individual the emotional and mental stability is often seriously off set. And it so seems that many of today's paranormal investigators are direct targets of such. Too often novice and even well educated ghost hunters and spirit enthusiast mislabel common haunting's as simple ghost manifestations, when in truth the entity that is plaguing a haunted house business or location is a force so evil that it disguises itself as such.
We know today by watching such shows as Ghost Hunters, Paranormal State and a host of documentaries over the years that not all ghosts are as friendly as Casper. Many investigators now today believe that some haunting's made popular by such shows as these might have uncovered real portals to hell that lay in wait for a un-experienced or unsuspecting individual to happen upon it. Attracting such entices evil demonic or devils to possess or harm someone might be as simple as taking a local ghost tour or treading in real haunted locations to document real paranormal activity. Many can only surmise after such activity effects their lives that tracing the source as to why this person was attacked is truly un discernable.
If you track the personal lives of of those in the field of paranormal research you might find some startling facts presented to you. I have heard strange tales of people who visited reported real haunted houses and assorted places.
One might note here that strange tale I heard was about a person who visited Waverly Hills. In a days time they began developing tuberculoses like symptoms. Still others who document haunted houses and business often report becoming haunted at home or most commonly possessed and physically hurt or mentally harmed. Many who I have spoken too report the facts of new obsession motivated acts what many refer to as mortal sins. After walking the halls in darkness their lives were forever changed for the good or the worse. Be it curse or shadow demons as they are called lives have become forever changed and challenged. We might also note here that many of those that have taken tours their report that they had many bad experiences even 2-5 years after experience strange shadows on a ghost tour.
REAL DEMONIC POSSESSION
In New-Testament times, however, the phenomenon had become very common. The victims were sometimes deprived of sight and speech (Matthew 12:22), sometimes of speech alone (Matthew 9:32; Luke 11:14), sometimes afflicted in ways not clearly specified (Luke 8:2), while, in the greater number of cases, there is no mention of any bodily affliction beyond the possession itself (Matthew 4:24; 8:16; 15:22; Mark 1:32, 34, 39; 3:11; 7:25; Luke 4:41; 6:18; 7:21; 8:2). The effects are described in various passages. A young man is possessed of a spirit "who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away, . . . and oftentimes hath he [the spirit] cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him" (Mark 9:17, 21). The possessed are sometimes gifted with superhuman powers: "a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains. For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him" (Mark 5:2-4). Some of the unfortunate victims were controlled by several demons (Matthew 12:43, 45; Mark 16:9; Luke 11:24-26); in one case by so many that their name was Legion (Mark 5:9; Luke 8:30). Yet, evil as the possessing spirits were, they could not help testifying to Christ's Divine mission (Matthew 8:29; Mark 1:24, 34; 3:12; 5:7; Luke 4:34, 41; 8:28). And they continued to do so after His Ascension (Acts 16:16-18). http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12315a.htm
Demonic Oppression
Symptoms of a true Demonic Oppression
abnormal, irrational fears to the point panic and despair
abnormal, irrational anxiety over pointless matters
abnormal, irrational loneliness associated with depression
lack of self control physically and mentally
conflicts with authority figures of all types
aimlessness; the feeling that life is void of any meaning or purpose
depression that is not physiologically induced.
outburst of hatred through foul language
violent behavior of any type or extent other then their personal behavior or character
loss of the fear or belief of God
selfish ambition (appetite for power) fame or fortune
irrationality, inability to detect or correct contradictions or other fallacious reasoning
Many who are truly being victimized by unnatural forces often do not realize such is going on until it is too late. The real symptoms of demonic possession can vary greatly i intensity from individual to individual. Through out history many have blamed different the Devil and his dominions for everything from accidents to nervous break downs on such evil forces. And still today in the 21st century the fear of such occurring is to some more then real. Demonic possession is today too often labeled to as a very rare phenomenon. though if you see these characteristics mounting in a friend or family member one might question what is really going on.
Modern science has by removed much of what used to be considered true or real beliefs in demonic possession. Schizophrenia, Tourette’s syndrome and various forms of psychosis were once signs that a real hell spawned diabolical infestation was taking place. And of course who is to say it is not. any in the field of science believe that their is a pill or practice to adjust or fix any problem. And those in actual therapy today or no more afflicted by demonic forces then they were in generations past.

presence of two or more distinguishable, coherent personalities, personalities capable of expressing themselves simultaneously (may include emergence of strange voices, dual or multiple voices and/or unnatural conversations)*
unexplainable,, uncontrollable terror especially in the presence of Christians whose faith is strong* (this terror arises either from the demon's fear of being cast out or from the possessed person's fear upon being cruelly threatened by the demon(s)).

severe, persistent depression, despondency and/or temptations to commit suicide**

* Conclusive evidence of demonic possession.
** The demon's goal here is to get the possessed person to kill himself and/or others before they act on the opportunity to become Christ's captives.
Causes For Demonic Possession

grossly and habitually rebelling against personal and public authority
blaspheming God or the creator (consistently rejecting the work of the Holy Scriptures and religious beliefs as He reveals truth and convicts sin)
possessing and/or using occult tools, charms, books, music, souvenirs, etc. though many consider this just illusions as other believe it is a sign of occcult power
having family friends and even of others close authority figures become slaves to Satan's influence
craving and seeking after occult power or revelation (taking E.S.P tests or other psychic aptitude tests) as simple as this sounds ith might be a warning sign (seeking after fortune tellers, having an astrological chart or forecast made, etc.)
The
true evil Significance of 3:AM and demonic possession
+ Sometimes
it is 2:AM simply because we change our clock
due to Day light savings time. This is why
at times things maybe cited to occur at 2:AM
when they are reported when it is really the
3 o’clock hour based on the phase of
the sun.
+ 3: PM is
of course when it is said Jesus died and his
spirits ascended into heaven until the third
day. It is said the Blessed Virgin Mary’s
Assumption into heaven Occurred at 3:PM as
well. Some say 3:PM is when the veil between
this world and Heaven is at it thinnest. Same
of course to be said in the opposite time
of 3:AM and the veil dividing This world and
a 'Dark realm'.
+ ‘Black
Masses’ (ritual), for example, are notably
done at 3:AM, not midnight, so these dark
rituals are done at this hour provide a gain
of strength to evil.
+ 3 A.M. is
also a distance enough from sunset-dusk to
mornings dawn. Sun Light, even in small traces
of UV and Infrared from the sun can still
be see for well over an hour after sunset.
But at 3:AM for example, a ‘new moon’
dark sky can leave a full cover of darkness.
Darkness is power to demons and evil spirits.
And they prefer darkness as light can be unbearable
to them. As we learn somewhat on our own,
as children, to turn on a light to get rid
of 'monsters'. There is some truth in it.
Because with lower demons especially, they
are easy scared off by ‘positive’
things such as light being switch on from
darkness. While Devils on the other hand appear
during daylight hours, turn blessed crucifixes
up side down on a wall, etc. Beyond merely
to disrespect, it is also a show of power
as a boasting in “I CAN DO THIS!”
or "This has no affect on me", as
to weaken the faith of those oppressed by
them. Devils also like to make more noise
on what are considered Christian Holidays
and ‘Holy Days’, such as Good
Friday, and Easter. This is just another way
for them to show off power, disrespect Christianity,
and to distract from the days meaning.
+ Which brings
me to what some say goes beyond a symbolic
'3', as stated by others, is indeed a mockery
of the 'Holy trinity'. However, However 3:AM
still is a preferred time because of the above
reasons more so.
+ Essentially,
Transition often occurs at these hours of
3-4:pm. In this I am referring to when Demons
increasing in numbers, moving from infestation
to oppression stages, or onto possession's
first stage, etc.
So this time
set is indeed the most "UNHOLY"
time in the day. 3:AM is often a mile marker
for these changes as they grow toward a more
serious stage of a demonic haunting, say form
an 'infestation' to an 'oppression' stage.
In short if
you often wake up to see the clock is exactly
3:AM, you might being seeing this as a warning.
The number 3 turning up is a Demonic symbol,
so we take note on a short list when it occurs.
As it can often defiantly be an indication
something is manifesting or already has…
