I used to see demons but that was because I did things with the paranormal that humans shouldn't do. Stomping on graves, demon summonings. Death spells and curses...etc. They disappeared after not messing with it all for a few years.
Demons are cool though...

I've heard that when you are a Christian and have faith, things like demons and most spirits will not bother you/ or you cannot see them or something like that.
But if you are encountered by a demon/spirit you should pray to God to protect you and they're supposed to go away. Or I think you can say "do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah?" and they will not answer and supposedly leave.
All this is told to me by my youth pastor at church.
What if you follow a different religion? or you're atheist?

In Genesis 6, after the "fallen ones" or fallen agels decided to transform into human form and intermingle with human women, the offspring that were born of them were the Nephilim. Half human, half angellic. When the flood came, they were killed. Their disembodied spirits were condemned to wander the Earth until judgement day. That is what demons are. Disembodied Nephilim spirits. When Jesus was about to drive out a demon from a possessed person, the demon called out, "Jesus of Nazereth.. have you come to torment us before the time..?" That is the reference to the judgement day.
This is a truth I have come to know
Anyone interested in learning more should read the book of Enoch.
Enoch is an ancient text that was originally with but removed from our modern day scripture. Enoch is mentioned in Genesis 5:21-24, Hebrews 11:5, and Jude 14.
Jude quotes Enoch directly.
It is a goldmine for understanding hidden truths about these things.
"We speak about the mystery of God's wisdom. It is a wisdom that has been hidden, which God had planned for our glory before the world began." 1 Corinthians 2:7
"But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known." Luke 12:2

The spirit world is very real. To some people demons can reveal themselves to easily and others seem to be shielded from seeing demons too easily. We should not engage demons unless we are seeking to remove them from our lives or the lives of people we know and love. We are incapable of getting rid of demons without the power of Yeshua (Jesus of Nazareth) son of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That power comes only through a personal relationship with Yeshua that we get by accepting He is the only complete refuge for our lives here on earth and into eternity.
Some of us are predisposed to exerienceing and interacting with the demonic spiritual realm and can get wrapped up in the deceptive demonic realm when we are young and too naive to perceive the dangers.
Fortunately, if a person has not completely surrendered there will to demons or satan or any entity that represents the evil realm, they can always call out to Jesus for help. But you must be absolutely serious that you desire to trade any abilities, gains or favors givent o you through the demonic realm for the full and free life that a relationship with Jesus offers.
Visits to churches, prayers to crosses and sacraments alone can not completely deliver. The only power that demons must respect and obey enternally is the power of Jesus(Yeshua.) Anything else is just a temporary fix at best.
Finally, some demonic possesions, and harrassments will not let go without prayer and fasting compbined with a completely surrendered relationship with Yeshua. Yeshua (Jesus) desires that every human being would be set free from demonic harrassment, oppression and possession, but people must want Yeshua more than anything else and let go of every other idol they have in their lives.

Did anybody see something about 3 ft tall dark colored with human style eyes and a mouth that was too big for the head, lots of long pointy teeth when it smiled?
I didn't see it. Heard it from another person and it gave me the crawlies when they described it.
Just curious to see if this can be corroborated.

So basically anyone can claim anything is a demon, and people here will believe it, even though there is no evidence.

No evidence at all. Not a jot. And yet people still claim, vehemently, that these things exist.

That, folks, is irrational behaviour. I'm sure all you think you've seen demons, but it's the height of arrogance to assume your perceptions of the events are 100% accurate. Be rational. Surely this is important enough to get to the bottom of. Skirting round the issue with anecdotes and guesswork is not helping anyone, including yourselves.
