Please -- only serious answers. I would think that once a demon knows its been ID'd, it would be vulnerable. Saw this on Paranormal State.The dude wouldn't say the suspected demons name.Please to explain.

  1. Demons are a invention of human beings.  They hold power only with those who choose to believe in them.  Go anywhere on the planet and you will find that it's no coincidence that demons yield no power with those who refuse to acknowledge them.


  2. 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.

  3. they might follow u around in life even if you cant see them......

    so they will cause bad luck.......

  4. Two reasons:

    1. You try to call it out, you need to be ready to kick it out (exorcism).

    2. If you're wrong and you say the name of a demonic spirit in a place teeming with spiritual activity, you could catch its notice and add one more malicious spirit to the equation that wasn't there before. You say the name of <insert name here> and <insert name here> isn't part of the haunting, you might catch <insert name here's> attention and <insert name here> might show up and start a whole new and more complicated world of trouble.

    Exorcisms should only be done by professionals who know what they are doing and are able to deal with the consequences. Usually, ghost hunters and psychics aren't equiped for that - usually. Normally they are the scholars of the field and are not equiped for full-out spiritual warfare. They can hold their own if something comes at them, but being on its home turf and kicking it out of something it has claim to is a whole other story.

  5. Here's the deal........

    If you are religious and believe in all the goobly-**** about demons, then while out investigating you are going to assume every little noise or loose stone is the work of an evil spirit.

    The people on Paranormal State let their religious beliefs interfere with investigations.

    And I find it funny that Ryan, being a dead set Catholic, will team up with a person that follows Pagan rituals.

    I guess maybe they figure if one religion won't get rid of the spirit, another will........

  6. Well I would think it's because maybe it summons the demon.

  7. To say its name would be invoking the daemon.  Plus knowing a daemons name and expressing it is letting it know that you know of it and so that for the daemon means a new victim, which is you.  So yeah it may seem something simple but it does have a huge impact.  For you this maybe be unknowingly but that makes no matter to the daemon.  After all hes just found him a new victim.
