It irritates me SO DAMN MUCH when people are all “THOSE SHADOW-Y FIGURES ARE ALL DEMONS!” or “it made me feel afraid/sad so it MUST be a demon!”
no no no no no.
1) are you an empath of any sort? because you might be picking up what the SPIRIT is feeling. It might not be TRYING to make you feel those feelings, it might not even be aware that you’re even fucking there.
2) In my experience, malevolent forces will make you feel THREATENED. Not just scared – they will make you feel like something wants to HURT YOU, like something wants to chew you up and (maybe, if you’re lucky) spit you out.
3) Just because it’s DARK/SHADOWY in APPEARANCE that doesn’t mean that it’s evil. It might just be incapable of manifesting as anything other than an outline or a “shadow”.
4) NOT EVERYTHING IS A FUCKING DEMON. STOP THAT.This has been a PSA. One that many of you fuckers needa know.
