Why is it bad to say a demons name in a supposed haunted location?

Question

I would think it wouldn't be bad because part of an exorcism demands that you name the suspected demon involved in the possession.

Answer 1

say biggie smalls three times in a mirror at night when the moon is full. he will come and visit you and pop a cap in your a**

Answer 2

all hauntings do not involve demons, in fact very few do.  All hauntings are not the result of a spirit or ghost either.  So calling a name in a supposed haunted location is neither here nor there.

Answer 3

There is a belief among some people that saying the name of a demon gives it power or at the very least attracts it's attention.

However, obviously the belief systems that teach exorcism feel that the power of God is stronger and that armed with rituals and faith (on the level of priests) they can handle the flair up of a demon (which needs to show itself or at least fess up to being the cause of activity) in order for the priests to establish that exorcism is the right course of action,

Of course this is all a religious belief system and has nothing to do with the study of parapsychology (I think it would go under paranormal phenomena).

I guess it's kinda like when you pray..you're usually calling on God. So..when you say the name of a demon..you're probably calling on it...and it might come to you!! Would you want that?? I wouldn't!! Why take chances?????

Edit..to p***e.....I saw a  show on PS where they debunked ghosts in a restaurant or B&B. They wanted to tell the lady they didn't think it was real and there were things that explained it. They left it up to her if she wanted to know. I don't think she wanted to know...but I'm sure she watched the show and then heard what they said about it. You know...experience is the best teacher. I'm sure after they've done a number of PS shows...they'll begin to improve. I wonder if there's a place you can leave comments and suggestions for them. I'm sure they'd like to know what others think about their show.

Edit..I think when people do exorcisms they usually know how to  handle the demons...from experiences other exorcists have had.  To me...I wonder where the demons go after these exorcisms. I wonder if they don't get into some of the onlookers. I used to go to "Deliverances" ..and I think some of them followed me home. They don't even tell you what to do to protect yourself. I think exorcisms and deliverances should be a private thing...not in front of the whole congregation.

Answer 5

It would alter your mind? You spend to much, no savings.

Oh, I think they would deliver a mind boggling MIGRAINE headache.

Answer 6

It would be bad to say your mothers name in a haunted location.

Answer 7

I saw that on PS and its utter rubbish. Inhumans will not follow you or come if they are called. That is just silly.

Paranormal State is the worst excuse for a show ever. Don't take what they do or say on that show seriously. I have never seen them try to debunk anything they have been told on the show. They are clearly young and inexperienced . And they rely too much on Ed and Lorraine Warren who are known frauds.

If you say the name of a demon it will not follow you. Notice they tried that and after it didn't catch on, they dropped that part of the story line. Its too silly . It is a nonsenseical claim.
