Spook Guide - Demons
Demons
are supernatural beings that are usually described as being malevolent
spirits. Demons are usually depicted as a force that can be conjured
up and controlled to some extent.
The
notions of demons in religion have existed for many centuries. The
existence of demons is an important part of many religious beliefs.
In some cultures, demons are still feared due to their alleged power
to possess living creatures.
Some
people believe that demons may be conjured and represent elements.
For instance, earth demons are enormous entities made from crumbling
clods of earth. A fire demon, conversely, would be made entirely
from flames. The person who conjures the demon is supposed to be
able to control it, but this is not always the case.
Demons
are in some ways regarded as the most malevolent and evil of all
the spooks, and the most likely to be focused on evil. Some people
believe that demons come from hell, or from the fiery core at the
centre of the earth.
