I do think of them in the biblical sense, but immediately I think of how many people use the doctrine to abuse someone else. Parents have stood my and watched a "possessed" child have the life smothered or beaten out of them because they believe they are getting rid of "evil spirits." If there are evil spirits involved in cases like that, I would say they are influencing the abusers, not the abused, which brings me to the conclusion that we all have our "demons" to battle, and it should never be used as a defense for wrongdoing.
As far as evil spirits that are consumed, I had my first experience with evil spirits in Alabama. White lightening is a poor choice of beverage for a teenager, in fact it was evil! All dry county means is there is nobody to card you, and it is easier to get.

The fallen angels. A third of the angels in heaven who were cast out. We call them demons. Some people say they have seen ghosts, these are demons or evil spirits.

Yup, pretty much as mentioned above:
fallen angels.
You do know don't you that St. Rose, St. Patrick, St. John, St. Xavier, Catherine of Assisi, Padre Pio and many others wrote about fighting demons, also known as shades or dark forces. We live in their world + they are in charge.
I know people that have come to face to face with them, not a pretty picture.

Sherl , I'm with you. Evil spirits make me think of a few REALLY BAD people, not anything "supernatural"

where there is darkness evil abounds, but when you light is shining bright then evil is exposed and must flee from you.
always let your light shine bright.

Bad movies, probably based on a Stephen King book.

I think of Satan and his demonic forces. I've seen one of them and never want to see another. Once was more than enough.
