I am friending you right now on the strength of these posts and I hope that's OK. I work in an occult industry.
I do believe, for the record, that demons are separate entities. Do I think they're Evil with a capital E? No. Do I think that people who exhibit traits which are apart from the 'norm' are possessed? Definitely not, and I don't like treating the supernatural as an excuse for rampant prejudice. Do supernatural entities have a different agenda? Yes, I think they do, and there's sometimes a clash with that.
In the last week, we've had to deal with a possessed washing machine and a pair of cursed pyjamas. I give you, my working life.
