++++++++++++Subject Matter May Be Disturbing++++++++++++    

90% of Hometown Paranormal cases are residential or (home cases). Of that 90%, somewhere in the neighborhood of half these cases are the more serious cases. The Negative. Of the negative cases 10% can be classified as Demonic type cases. Since people have been asking for a better understanding of the Negative / Demonic, this information is being put together.    

This subject matter is NOT to be taken lightly. Hometown Paranormal will NOT post the names of demons nor where to find more information. Though we believe in raising awareness, we feel that this topic is not taken seriously enough and it would run contrary to our mission (to help those in nneed) if we just put the information out there blindly, hoping that people will take it seriously and also that people woould not use the information for wrongful purposses.    

Thus we will be happy to put some information out so people can have an understanding and be able to recognise possible signs and such.    

First I Michael Mannings, the Director of Hometown Paranormal have had dealings with the negative personally and professionally. Professinally on cases helping those in need. Personally, I had an experience that lasted for a 5 year period as an adult. I have only told one other person to this day. This experience changed me, made me question everything including my faith. This experience was, and is to this very day still hard for me to discuss. After going though this experience I feel that people do not take this topic as serioous as they should. This topic is not to be taken lightly nor for the faint of heart. Let’s take a look.    

NOTE: I am NOT, nor any member of my team a Demonologist. We and I have had many dealings with this very topic. For me the information was learned by talking with Demonoligists, Shamans, Priests, reading books, and serching out the truth.    

NOTE: I also have others I can call into a case if needed, and I never exceed what I or my team have for capabilities.    

THE TWO CATERGORIES    

Most people ask “why does your team seperate the Negative from the Demonic”?    

The Negative.    

 The negative can be spirits and or entities. They are inteligent. Not looking to pass a message or make simple contact. They are driven, determoined, and very patient. The function of the negative is quite simple. They want something from you, or to bother and scare you. They can be subtle or very forcefull. This can range from a person who is angry and hostile in life, passing and remaining that same way. Or something dedicated to bothering a person like a bully on the playground.    

The negative is one step below the demonic and can in some cases try to make investigators believe that they  or it is a Demon in an effort to scare off the help. They can also do most of the Demonic activity like but not limited to the following: thought issues, fear, depression, sadness, leaving scratches, movement of objects, leaving bruises, causing the feeling of intense anger to family and friends, pain and suffering, and the list is very long. The negative are very well versed in what makes us tick (our weaknesses, fears, etc.). They are tricksters and will use even your past, fears, experiences against you if given the oportunity. They will come to you usually as a friend our someone or thing you do not fear first. Then later it will act out. Often they can appear as a child to win sympathy. If you are dealing with a negative haunt activity usually starts low and works high. Say you may see shadows, then hear voices, then witness physical activity (stuff moving on it’s own), then experience more and more hostile activity. I would offer this to you. If you are experiencing not just being touched cause the good can do that too. But being grabbed, scratched, or physical pain with the haunt aspect, something negative may be at work. (MAY BE). Not a definite.    

The low end negative may be able to be overcome by re afirming your faith and the like. The high end negative, will need a bit more work. Only trained investigators can determine if you have a regular or negative haunt. The negative do NOT take well to provocation. A bully does not like to be bullied and will often retaliate. “Is that all you got”, “Don’t go after my kids, come after me” and furthure statements often escalate the activity. If your activity is normally on a 1-10 scale being a 4, and you go taunting it you will experience retaliation like an 8 usually. You can NOT fight what you can not see, withought a trained team to back you. Homwtown can recognise things, provide information, and in most cases help.    

Now, the negative is just below the Demonic. This is the highest catergory. The worst activity falls under this catergory. The signs and symptoms are close to that of the negative. But this catergory has more intense sub catergories with in it.    

First let me say that the negative is a bully, well the Demonic is not a bully. It is true evil. It is there to TORMENT.    

Second the demonic in most cases has to be given authority to be there. Or a gateway has to be established. What is meant here is like a person giving themselves over to something, playing with spirit boards, playing around with the occult or things they do not understand. Summoning something is a easy way to have a problem. Making soul pledges “if you do this for me I will be your servant” type of statements to the demonic, no matter how silly you think it is at the time. Something could try to collect. Belif in the devil but not God. Straying from faith. We can also move into a place that has the activity, bring hom an unclean item (artifact that was used for tribal practices and sacrafices) and the list here is extensive also but you get the idea.    

There are different levels of activity when it comes to the demonic. The first is Demonic Infestation, the Second is Demonic Oppression, and the third is Demonic Possession.    

The Demonic Infestation.    

This is when the Demon (s) move in to a location. They may act like typical ghost type activity.  The goal is to scare or trick you into compliance. Like keep you from sleep, freak you out, torment you. You may notice that if you have a feeling to do something that you feel is against you or your faith and you go against it there is a consequince. But if you go with it things appear fine. This occurs a lot and it is you giving the authority to the demon to bother you.  It will promote you interacting with it in frequesncey. Separating you from friends, family, hobbies, and everyhthing you do for enjoyment. If you have a family it will make you fight and argue with them and can in some cases lead to harmful activity and even splitting the family.In the end it wants it’s target to give control over to it so it can claim you.    

Demonic Opression    

Demonic oppression is when the demon makes it more personal, taking over the person’s thoughts for a time. The goal is NOT to torment naturally but to put strain on the victim emotionally, psychologically and physically, causing them eventually to “give up” and accept more complete control from the demon.  The demon now has enough of a hold on the person’s life, mind and soul that they can afford to let the truth be known: they want to destroy the target and damn their soul, usually through suicide. Depression and self harm issues are usually in this catergory.    

Demonic Possession    

This is when the person has been worn down, given up or given in to the demon. There is authority given and thus as a result the advantage is taken. The demon now has control of thoughts, emotions and behavior. These periods of time when the person’s body is not under their control are frequent, or constant. The demon is now always in the ear of the target and the victim always finds themselves doing things that “are not me”.  The person’s ability to actively ask for help will likely be severely curtailed by threats from the demons of punishment for seeking help. There are levels of a possession.    

Partial Possession    

This is the early stages.  This stage is the hardest to diagnose as most of the signs appear to be like completely normal occurences. If diagnosed in this stage the target will recover a full natural life with minimal resistance at the time of the help. The occurances are not all the time, and when they occur people may or may not notice. Here are a list of some signs.    

01. Partial control of the mind, speech and some body movements.
02. Dreams become intense nightmares.
03. Sleep is constantly disturbed.
04. Constant headaches. (Chronic and sometimes varying in intensity)
05. Negative emotions such as fear and hate are intensified.
06. Hearing spirit voices that confuse their thinking prevent normal concentration needed for completing the daily tasks associated with a everyday life.
07. Person might talk aloud to the spirits. (Not to be confused with just talking to them selves but, actually holding conversations with spirits that the victim claims to see or hear).
08. Says something not related to the situation being talked about.
09. Shows agitation by swearing and cursing.      

Note this list is partial and these symptoms can also be found naturally. A trained investigator or clergy member is needed to properly diagnose.    

Intermediate Posession    

Most  cases are identified and may occasionally be resolved with experienced personell    

Some symptoms include but are not limited to:
