I had a very similar thing happen to me about ten years ago. I had just laid down in the bed, trying not to wake my hubby. I was wide awake still, so I am absolutely sure it was not a dream, nightmare, or sleep paralysis.
I felt an evil presence standing next to the bed. Evil to the core! It reached out it's hand and placed it on my hip and the instant it did that, a vibration so strong it felt like mega shock waves passed though my body. As I was being shocked, I telepathically received images in my head of the most evil, hateful, disgusting images. I felt nothing but pure evil, hate, rage, and absolute terror. It was so bad, I just cannot express in words.
This creature had a long black robe and it's hood came down loosely over its head, covering most of it's face. It lasted under a minute, but it felt like an hour because of the intensity. It may sound odd, but I felt like the reason it stopped was that I could take no more. I really felt like had anymore evilness been transferred to my body, that it would kill me, right then and there.
At that time, I had not been a Christian for many years, so I did not and still do not think this was a demon in biblical terms. I did not pray to Jesus or God at the time. If I had been a Christian, maybe I would have thought
it was a demon, however, I think this thing could present itself in any way, whatever it took, that would accomplish the most terror.
It could have been an alien, a inter dimensional being, an evil spirit ; a demon, etc. I do not know. What I do know is that it terrified me beyond belief, and it is something I will never forget, and hope that I never, ever, have to deal with it again.
Edit: I would just like to clarify that when I say demon, I mean an evil spirit. I don't necessarily believe a demon is a fallen angel, or related to the Christian religion. I also don't believe there has to be a "God" in order for spirits, evil or otherwise to exist. ----Just my take on things.edit on 25-9-2012 by virraszto because: (no reason given)
In time I will do away with all the electronics and all the materialistic things the world has to offer and return to the earth. Even that is threatend by the raping of the earth while the people have their head in front of the computer screens, keeping us distracted. If I am unwise in anyone's eyes than so be it, it don't bother me none. God bless auto.

I think most of the "ghosts" people encounter are of this sort. Some, perhaps, the type that never interact with people, I might accept as being some sort of "echo", but any that do interact, I will not accept as being a dead person just hanging around. I can't locate anything Biblical to support any such notion.
Me either. I have toyed with a couple of theories:
1. Ghosts are just flat-out demons pretending to be dead people and that's all there is to it.
OR
2. Perhaps the "damned" are sometimes forced (by the Devil) to return to Earth and deceive other people.
I have read many many haunting cases where the demon was able to mimic the voices of deceased people, sometimes even multiple people.

Demons OOze HATE. it's not like anger it's like RAGE!!!! pure Evil. There is nothing on earth like it. A demon would look at my dads alcoholic rage and laugh cause it would be nothing compared to it's HATE. I know what he means. It's kind of like agent smith when he is talking to drugged and cuffed morphius times 10.
That human stench is stuck in my nose bit..
They hate everything about us, about life, and anything good.
No human can hate that much. No matter how dark we get, we still have some light left. Some part of God is always there. They seem to somehow not have any God in them at all..

And, yes, all the time I prayed, God, Jesus, angels and Archangels, and the thing left. And you know, in normal times I'm not so christian as that. I mean : I always felt uncomfortable with all the catholic rites, like it was something superficial. I do understand the believe and fervour of the people who need this, it's like a support for the devotion. I'm respectfull to God and Jesus, but with distance. I mean, it's my roots, but I also like to explore 'pagans' knowledges. But here again : all the time I asked for protection, it worked.

Am I the only one who finds it ... interesting ... that only christians happen to see "demons"?
Seems to me similar to this near-death phenomenon, when christians see Jesus, muslims see Mohammed, hindus see Krishna (or whomever they believe in), and so on.
Basically: whatever you believe in strongly, you may encounter.edit on 8-4-2013 by Xenoglossy because: (no reason given)

That's not at all accurate. I have spoken to people that saw demons, and were NOT Christian at the time. In fact, some came to know Christ as a result of those visitations. Plus, it isn't the appearance that matters. People that aren't Christian have prayed to Jesus, on advice, or out of desperation, and had "aliens" leave them alone as a result.

>saw demons
>NOT Christian at the time
But subsequently they all became Christians right?
>aren't christian
>prayed to Jesus
Why would anybody who is not a christian pray to Jesus?
I would like to hear a die-hard atheist telling me his demon-story while he stays a die-hard atheist. Somehow I would find it more credible.
