How do you know if its a demon, spirit or something else?

Question

Two years ago I was driving to work with my new little baby, I always go the same way which is up a huge mountain, I have always been a little bit afraid of it because its a narrow road and a long drop off the side. So this day started no different then anyother but half way up the hill, the car became very cold and I had an overwhelming sense of fear come over me, I heard a loud booming voice screaming at me to drive off the cliff and so I thought OMG what am I thinking but I realized that if I am able to think then it isn't me creating the voice it is actually something from outside my head so I started yelling back for it to leave me alone. I then decided too pull over too the side of the road and as I was doing so I felt something place its hands or whatever over mine and crush them into the steering wheel pulling the car toward the cliff and I had to slam on the brakes and yank the steering wheel back, I actually had bruises on my knuckles and the pad of my hands the next day.

As quick as the whole thing started it was over and hasn't happened since, I have in my past a few times experienced run ins with ghost but nothing ever harmful to me or anyone else. I do not have a mental problem and it has not happened prior too or after that incident. However it does still bother me and I would really like too know if anyone has an idea or knows for sure what it was. I rewrote this due too some idiot's message telling me I had a mental problem and I was going to hurt my baby, that is not the case I'm a Christian, mother of 4 beautiful children, a dentist and very normal otherwise, normal hobbies such as playing violin, reading, writing, painting, skateboarding, working out ect... I'm telling you this because I need you to know I'm not crazy just a concerned mother and I want real answeres not stupid one plz thanx!

I haven't angered anyone that I know of, up until that point I haven't known anyone who had died. As far as the falling asleep theory goes, I have never in my life just fallen asleep it takes me a good hour to fall asleep anytime I try no matter how tired I am so I doubt it was that, a seizure maybe but I have known many ppl with seizures, when I have asked them how they feel before and after it happens, they all say the same thing that they become extremely tired after and they feel strange before, Neither of which I had. I have went too every kind of Dr. you can possible think of in search of an answer and they all say I am completely normal, all my test come back perfect. I did however recently have a sleep test done and it showed something they call sleep paralysis, it is a condition where your in the deepest sleep a person can be in and your mind is awoken suddenly but your body doesn't follow suite, you can think, hear and breath but you can't move anyother part of you body weird

Answer 1

I have two very logical explanations for you...though you won't like them.

The first is that you may have fallen asleep at the wheel without realizing it. You had a new baby and you were tired. You said so yourself.

Secondly, you may have had a seizure. Seizures can be very violent in nature, can cause you to hear things, see things, experience nausea, bad smells, etc. You can be left with injuries (from harming yourself) and your mind will interpret the experience as a personal attack from an outside source.

You are too quick to blame the supernatural and the other people on here who fed right into this without so much as a second thought should be ashamed and flogged.

If it happens again, you need to get in for an MRI.

There are many levels of seizures and you need to STOP looking for an answer to this issue on the Yahoo! board. This particular topic is laden with kids looking for exciting stories.

Mom to mom....I'm telling you that you need to pay attention to your body.

For the record, we can be in a sleep state in those early days with our new babies and not even realize it. Don't discount it. I've been there too!

I'm not saying that you are making this up. Understand that you need to rule out physical ailments BEFORE you start blaming Satan.

Emily Rose you are not.

Answer 2

I am going to be frank with you right here, due to the fact that i see that ago you've got requested a an identical query. I suppose the probability that a member of your apartment is relatively severely possessed could be very slender certainly. I am somewhat perturbed approximately the complete 'hair' factor.. however it will simply be me false impression you. Perhaps we would holiday it down.Who is your enemy? and why do you suppose they're taking the time to ship evil spirits into your apartment? what have you ever performed to create such a lot dissatisfied that for over a yr (i see this out of your different query) any one is spending their time cursing you and sending you all these items? I am normally of the brain that after persons suppose they're underneath the affect of 'Black Magic' or the love it is solely that.. 'In their brain' This isn't designed to insult you despite the fact that, simply to deliver you one more likelihood. Such matters are certainly feasible, however it's continuously valued at watching at it from one more attitude.

Answer 3

A very interesting story. I'm glad it hasn't happened again. Thank God. It must have been really spooky and scary. You handled it well, tho. At the same time, I think that Angelic spirits helped to save you and your baby.
As for what it was, I would guess that it might have been an evil spirit. Who knows why?
Have you ever heard of "Sylvia"; she's a psychc, and really good, and she answers questions like that. I'll bet she would know what it actually was. She's on the "Montel" show ever Wednesday ( or according to your location, maybe a different time) She can be contacted and can tell you exactly what happened.
God Bless you.

Answer 4

The most fundamental and important thing to remember, in any encounter with the paranormal realm, is that the experience does not exist solely for itself. In other words, passing the experience off as the work of a demon, a psychological siezure, falling asleep, or whatnot, diminishes the value the experience can be for us. In 'demonic attacks' the strength of the attack says very little about the orientation of the attacker. This is because, as it is with everything else, difficulties exist so that we may prepare ourselves against them. One cannot learn how to defend oneself against a knife by never being attacked by one. Your 'attacker' was very much testing your resolve, your willingness to 'live'. The only way to do that was to up the resistance provided. It happened on the mountain because that is where your fear remains strongest. Attacks at our weakest points immediately make us aware of our shortcomings, making us shore up our defenses. Perhaps you will be more considerate and cautious now while driving on the mountain, so much so that your actions are now primed to react to an even greater threat that may yet befall you.

Answer 5

Whoa, I don't know what you experienced but it was evil. Maybe something about being a new mother changed something in your consciousness for a while and made you more sensitive, or maybe you fell asleep at the wheel for just the blink of an eye and dreamt it. No matter what happened, it was a traumatic experience, but it's also a GREAT story. Psychologists say to write to help yourself deal with trauma, so why don't you write a book about it? It's really cool. Good Luck : )

Answer 6

It doesn't matter whatever it was. It was a non-human entity, and did well to fight it off. If you were a religious person, you would have thank God for keeping you and ur baby safe. There are lots of strange tales about road travel. Some people claim to have seen appiration blocking their way, while some said the road seemed to continue on while infact there was a ravine, a foothill or something. Pray to whatever God you believe it when you are on the road, it wont cost you anything.

Answer 7

Hi. My name is Byron. I recently had an experience of paranormal proportions. I was fully awake as i had just walked in the door of my home when i was attacked. It is a sensation like i had never experienced before. My mind told me i must be dreaming but as it continued for a good couple of minutes i knew it was realy happening.
Its hard to be certain whether it is a bad spirit or demon because the devil uses trickery and confusion to hide the truth so you will never recieve the complete answer from the world.
My advice: pray about it

Answer 8

Satan and his fallen angels are very real entities, They come in all manners of disguises. And if it told you to harm yourself and others it was a very evil being talking to you. What saved you was God and your guardian angel and your faith. Just remember this there are many cases of people hearing voices tell them to do harmful thing to themselves and others but they want to keep it quiet out of fears as to what other may think of them. Which makes them easy to trick if there is a next time and there will be a next time. Your major safe guards is your faith and knowing the source of where this dangerous information is coming from. I am not telling you to become paranoid but just consider the source and beware of the sources of evil tiding. And if you do that they will never be able to harm you or others that are in your care again. Also remember to thank God for all things for it was his love for you that saved you from instant disaster. Another thing share you knowledge with other for you never know if one of them are in line to be hurt or killed by the evil sources that surrounds us..........

What you experienced is a malevolent spirit,possibly a man in a terrible accident on that road? Have a look online through old newspapers and such.
