does anyone believe in malevolent spirits, such as the devil or poltergiests?

Question

Just curious. Another name for the devil is the Dark Made Flesh, the Fiend or Old Nick.

Answer 1

I not sure of the devil, i am not Christian, but we have a man in Black which would be the nearest to the Devil. Old Nick be bounded about abit.

As for Poltergeist's well i completely believe in them even witnessed one once many years ago. there is a vid on Youtube which is very good and worth a watch.

The vid is the Enfield Poltergeist, which was so well documented witnesses range from Police to reporters builders etc.

Answer 2

what you have to understand is that the world is greatly beyond anything we can comprehend. The presence of malevolent spirits is quite definite and once in an old house I experienced a visitation screaming for me to leave (no I wasn't smoking anything at the time or drunk).
The devil exists too because I truly do believe there are two different afterlifes, one good and the other bad. I do not know who governs them but it is higher beings than humankind.

Answer 3

Can't say for sure if the devil truly exists or not, but there is definitely evil in our midst.
As for poltergiests, oh yes, most definitely I do believe in them & they do exist.

Answer 4

All of those are made up names for a made up character.
But poltergeists - now that's different.
There is a theory that this is an energy form created by a young girl passing through puberty, and emanating random spikes of energy which affect her and people around her. They are quite frightening, as the manifestation is uncontrollable, but they do cease as the girl matures physically and emotionally.

Answer 5

Ooooh, what a good question.....Do you know what I'm not quite Sure!

I think as a kid I would of said Yea Defo! But I s'pose as you get older the less I believe now!

Although I do believe in Good Ghosts!!

I believe the people I've lost visit me every so often

Answer 6

I think they are there, ready to be called upon. If you don't call them, they won't appear. I know many people that have "played" with ouija tables (spirit boards) and have received very eerie messages from those things, which coincide perfectly with information about dead relatives and such.

Whatever we don't understand is better to stay away from it. Those people who categorically deny the existence of spirits, etc., have no clue what they are talking about. You can't deny what you don't know.

Answer 7

Satan (the devil) is not part of mythology. He is a fallen angel, who along with one-third of the heavenly host who rebelled against God and was thrown from heaven, roams the earth, seeking to destroy. Unfortunately those who don't believe are easy prey.

Answer 8

yeah i do, i belive in the equal balance; ying and yang, good and bad etc.
I'm a christian and if i belive in God- king of all goodness who tells me to stay away from evil, i have to acknowledge that there is a ruler of bad somewhere, waiting to lure me in. Knowing the devil exists helps me to resist temptation.
The devil could be a myth- but all the pyscho's and killer's and even plain sinners have to be possessed by something, right?

Answer 9

Mostly just bad press. The Devil does have his own agenda. As far as Polters, who knows. Those guys are hard to figure sometimes.

Answer 10

Yes, I do believe. Because, since there are benevolent spirits, such as angels, why not accept also the existence of wicked spirits, such as the devils? They are also mentioned in the Bible, along with their chief leader, Lucifer, who was at first an angel of light, but whom God punished because he thought he could take God's place in Heaven. I lived some experiences with these spirits, and it was not at all pleasant, believe me.
