Yes........
To mislead people, the demons use spiritism. The practice of spiritism is involvement with the demons, both in a direct way and through a human medium. The Bible condemns spiritism and warns us to keep free from everything connected with it. (Galatians 5:19-21) Spiritism does for the demons what bait does for fishermen. A fisherman uses a variety of baits to catch various kinds of fish. Similarly, wicked spirits use different forms of spiritism to bring all sorts of people under their influence.
One type of bait used by the demons is divination.
What is divination? - It is an attempt to find out about the future or about something unknown. Some forms of divination are astrology, the use of tarot cards, crystal gazing, palmistry, and the search for mysterious omens, or signs, in dreams. Although many people think that practicing divination is harmless, the Bible shows that fortune-tellers and wicked spirits work together. For instance, Acts 16:16-18 mentions “a demon of divination” that enabled a girl to practice “the art of prediction.” But she lost this ability when the demon was cast out of her.
Another way that the demons mislead people is by encouraging them to inquire of the dead. People grieving over the death of a loved one are often deceived by wrong ideas about those who have died. A spirit medium may give special information or may speak in a voice that seems to be that of a dead person. As a result, many people become convinced that the dead are really alive and that contacting them will help the living to endure their grief. But any such “comfort” is really false as well as dangerous. Why? Because the demons can imitate the voice of a dead person and give a spirit medium information about the one who died. (1 Samuel 28:3-19) We learn from studying the bible that the dead have ceased to exist. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 & Psalm 115:17) So “anyone who inquires of the dead” has been misled by wicked spirits and is acting contrary to the will of God. (Deuteronomy 18:10, 11; Isaiah 8:19) Therefore, be careful to reject this dangerous bait used by the demons.

Luke 4 v 5,6
I believe that the demons propogate and nurture belief in life after death , through spirit mediums and ouija boards, contact with the other side. we can find an account such as this in the bible where the King Saul sees the prophet Samuel after Samuel's death. 1 Samuel 28 ( saul visits the witch of Endor)
see also Revelation 20 v3 , satan misleading the nations.
revelation 12 v17
revelation 13 v3
revelation 13 v8
Revelation 13 v 13, 14 ' misleads those who dwell on the earth.
There is certainly some 'supernatural force' at work we can reason when we look at what the bible has to say would you not agree.?
Today people have turned their back on religion for the most part giving themselves over to pursuing any course of conduct that they see fit. see 2 Timothy 3 v 1 -5

It strikes me as a paradox that people profess to want to live at peace with one another, yet they commonly hate and even kill others. While it doesn't excuse the actions of humans, unseen evil forces must be behind much of the trouble in the world today. Take what's going on in Iraq: former neighbors butchering each other. the same was true of the conflict in what was formerly Yugoslavia, and the genocide in Rwanda, not to mention the numerous other atrocities commited throughout history

Yes, look around, the evil is everywhere. My friend had a demonic influence in her life that made her act really nasty towards her family, they put her in a home for mentally disturbed people, but she was ok after she got prayed for. She's usually such a lovely lady!

Nope. Demonic spirits don't exist. Never did.
Later: LOL. Okay, if you count people, yup, folks like bin Laden and Bush and what's-his-name in North Korea and Rumsfeld are pretty active demonic spirits.

It would be nice if we could blame something for the mess we are in, but there is no one to blame but ourselves. We are the major cause of our own mess. that being said yes there are demons in the world, but they are harmless when ignored.
