No, any sort of possession or demon shit is complete hogwash. Am I denying the existence of supernatural entities full-on? No, but it's very difficult to confirm they exist.

I'm a registered Paranormal Junkie. I've never put much faith into possessions. Demon's taking over your body, levitating you off the ground, etc. That's too goofy.

But attachments are a different story. I believe that a negative spirit can attach to someone and feed off them. A parasite. Just like the Warrens.

Are there any paranormal investigators who aren't batshit grifters?

>>218397128
I hate when people bring up that case with the German girl from the 70s when that was clearly schizophrenia.

>>218397144
See this shit I believe. I know people who genuinely turned into different human beings from the way they walk/talk/act, looking sickly/deathly ill, and then they either go on a fast or a cleanse and start attending church and it all went away. I don't know if church is holy ground or what power that actually has, but I do think those giant brass bells they ring has something to do with it.

It's just psychological, not paranormal. Weakminded people can fall into bad habits and rabbit holes like pornography addiction, as an example, or drug use, and be incapable of saving themselves, as they see it. But if they believe a higher power is intervening and they start going to church and are le ~saved~ it changes their self-perception and gives them the inner strength they need to change.
All psychological. church is a placebo

Religiosity would be culturally preferable to what we have now, but that doesn't mean there's a god or a given religion is true. It just means that as humans are now, at this average IQ and this stage of evolution, we do better with a coping mechanism like religion. It's sad that we can't have both the truth and a functional society as of yet

Fine, here's my three paranormal experiences that I can actually describe from my awareness point of view, told in the order they happened:

1. The first one was a black dog scenario. I was a zogbot when I was younger, and one weekend a bunch of three guys I was stationed with were driving from Nashville to the Lake of the Ozarks. On this night we were specifically heading to Branson, MO. We took 55 to 60, which was faster than the full interstate but more "scenic." We got about 3 hours from Branson and it was close to midnight, probably like 11:00. I'm driving a Ford Explorer we rented, and while I'm driving I see a black lab that looked fully grown 90lbs jump right in front of the car. I slam on my brakes as we slam right into it. All 3 men in the car with me were mean as fuck paratroopers with combat experience, and not bullshitters at all they all swear they saw the same thing. We had all been drinking, but I'd only had one, and I don't think anyone was drunk. I got out of the car and looked for damage, and didn't find any. Saw no signs of a dog either. To this day, to a man, we all swear this happened. Later on, I found out about black dog mythology and how it can be an omen or whatever, but nothing that I can tell ever came of it.

2. One day I couldn't find a pair of earbuds. I spent 2 hours forensically examining every square inch of my house, checking their usual spot about 50x while doing this and not finding them. I gave up and went to leave, but as I was pulling out I realized I'd forgotten my wallet, went in to get it, and the earbuds were sitting in their usual spot that I'd checked 50x. Not sure if that's paranormal or what, but I remember sitting there screaming "HOW."

>>218397206
3. I had a roommate with a girlfriend back in my college years and we were all close friends. It was common for them to take turns coming going and visiting each other's homes. One day I was cleaning the kitchen and cooking breakfast while someone who clearly looked dressed like Courtney was sitting at our little two person breakfast table. I finished cooking and told her food was ready and to get my roommate out of bed. She got up, walked into his room, and shut the door. They never came out, and after waiting a few mins I knocked on the door about 20x and didn't get an answer, so I finally called my roomie who had stayed at her place that night. Neither one of them were ever in the house.

Subquestion: Is it scarier to see shit that doesn't make sense or to see things that aren't really there?

>>218397251
Everywhere jews go they try to have the bells removed, I genuinely think those bells ward off demonic spirits. Also the stories of jews going into nondescrated churches and feeling like they're about to have a panic attack is well documented.

1. It's possible you did hit the dog and adrenaline carried it out of sight as it scampered away in panic. Like deer. It's also possible you just struggled to see it at night, since it was black.

2. Common mental glitch that happens where your brain thinks it already has the thing it's looking for and doesn't register them. Everyone knows the reverse situation where someone with their glasses on their face is looking for their glasses. The brain can be funny like that

They always do this and it's actually counter-productive. Did the same thing with IT, making Pennywise obviously a monster, when IT is a textbook example of one of the most fundamental scare tactics in horror: things where they shouldn't belong.
So a clown in a sewer. The reason that's so spine chilling as a concept is because clowns don't belong in sewers. When you read/see that you get gooseflesh because you already know something is very wrong.
Now what isn't as scary? A monster in a sewer. Why? Because monsters can be anywhere. I'm not surprised if I see a monster sitting on top of a lightpole, or flying over treetops. They're scary in the way a grizzly bear is scary. They're just powerful creatures that can harm you. But not scary in the way great horror is scary. This is why the Tim Conway IT mogs.
Similarly, they made Annabelle an obviously fucked up monster doll. No. What's scary about a doll like Annabelle is when a doll is doing something dolls aren't supposed to do. The innocent inanimate object becomes a deeply malevolent source of terror when it starts walking down the hallway in the middle of the night.

>>218397647
I just don't see how I could have hit a dog that size doing 65 and have no damage or blood anywhere. That thing should have been vaporized. Didn't feel the car hit anything either. I told this to a therapist one time and she said in the summer when you're tired and you've been on the road for awhile your brain responds different to certain exposures, and that heat/light/shadows can play tricks on the mind when their depth changes in the headlights. I thought that was interesting, but it was still crazy that all four of us saw the same thing.

Nigga you think I watched that shit

For a somewhat modern and nuanced take on the phenomenon of demonic possession, I can recommend a few books

People of the Lie and Glimpses of the Devil by M Scott Peck
Hostage to the Devil by Malachi Martin
The Believer's Deliverance Handbook by David Chapman

Peck's book are kind of fascinating. He was a clinical psychologist (and author of the popular self-help book The Road Less Traveled). He converted to Catholicism fairly late in his life and ended up under the tutelage of Malachi Martin, who was a Catholic priest that performed many exorcisms in his career. Peck ended up performing a few exorcisms on some of his psychotherapy clients and documented those cases in Glimpses of the Devil.

The Believer's Deliverance handbook presents 7 progressive stages of demonic possession and backs up its claims primarily with bible verses. I found it an interesting read because while it is based on the bible, it presents its position in a non-dogmatic way, and its seven stages are a progression that could be attributed to plain old mundane banality of evil or abnormal psychology. Ultimately all these books say that demonic possession is something a person has to choose over time. It's not a demon forcibly invading a person like a disease or parasite.

I'm not making any claim at all, but this is a subject of interest for me and like I said I can highly recommend those four books for those who are also interested.

As for the Warrens, they were probably hacks. The idea of cursed objects and associated possessions and hauntings are entirely the realm of superstition and have no basis in any kind of sophisticated theology or mainstream religion. It has no basis in what the Catholic church or the bible has to say about possession, and afaik those are still the modern authority on the subject.

>>218397934
>He was a clinical psychologist. He converted to Catholicism
Right, so he drank the Kool-Aid and was compromised. Many such cases
What would be interesting is a secular respected doctor giving his take on demonic possession while maintaining unbelief, but those cases aren't talked about as much because most of the time it's predictably: yeah, that person had mental issues

>>218397864
>>218397920
I think it was a rights issue with Hasbro. Why split the profits when you can make Raggedy Ann just a random old doll.
Only oldfags like me know the difference.

Ass for which doll looks "creepier", that's anon's whole point. If my Fraggle Rock doll came to life and tried to kill me? Horrifying. My Pet Monster? Not so much.

>>218397109
The Maurice Thierault video is convincing. It's vhs so the image isn't that sharp, but you can see his skin spontaneously cracking and bubbling. Also he's heavily salivating and the spit turns to blood when it hits his shirt. The Thierault exorcism was sabctioned by the Catholic Church and was unsuccessful. Thierault committed suicide.

"Ed Warren" seems to be a believer

He Directed and co-wrote The Red Door (Insidious). Even did a song for it played during the credits. He's a stage actor originally. Used to fuck Jennifer Love Hewitt before he became famous. She was dating Rich from LFO at the time AND some dude from 98°. JLH bought them both promise rings from Tiffany's. If anyone deserves to be haunted, it's that bitch.

>>218398143
>LFO

Now that’s a cursed group that you don’t hear about much.

>>218397972
Clinical psychology already operates in a very cult-like manner, so if you ask me he drank the kool aid when he chose his career, then again when he became an exorcist. There are all kinds of ethical issues with what he did. He faced a lot of criticism for it and rightfully so. So did Malachi Martin for that matter.

The best example of what you're looking for I would say is Jerry Marzinsky. He is a retired clinical psychiatrist who worked in inpatient hospitals and the prison system. This isn't the same subject as demonic possession, but he came to the conclusion that the symptoms of schizophrenia are caused by what he calls "energetic parasites." He does make some extraordinary claims, but he also has some extraordinary stories about his experiences with clients once he changed his approach to treatment.

He goes on a circuit of small podcasts and says pretty much the same thing on all of them, so if you listen to one interview of him you've heard most of what he says on them. He wrote a book on it called An Amazing Journey Into the Psychotic Mind.

>>218398109
There are conflicting accounts on why he left the church. He has been painted a huckster and plagiarist by some and the target of a Jesuit conspiracy by others. Honestly I never committed that whole history to memory so I couldn't tell you for sure. The fact that he coached a psychologist to conduct exorcisms makes me skeptical of him, but the raw materials he presented are nonetheless very interesting. Demons and entities are not exactly things you can study with the scientific method so extensive firsthand accounts are about as good as it gets.

Seriously, they're all dead.

Fedora tipping aside, yes, it's very much real. People will psychobabble copes all day but it's telling that most of what people would attribute to "insanity" manifest as very clearly calculated malevolent behavior. People meticulously plan and execute actions that take a level of cognizance that is hard to square with a complete disconnect with reality.
But of course, the general public would rather rationalize these individuals as abnormally high functioning lunatics rather than face the possibility of an ailment that's spiritual rather than psychological.

You guys know that they sell Ghost Hunting apps online right? I've seen them work, but idk "how" they work. Why don't one of you download an EVP app and try it in the scariest room of your house?

>>218398450
I'm sure there are culturally specific interpretations of such events assuming they're not influenced by Christianity. Another interpretation might be that those not body to the Church are seen as less desirable targets for spiritual warfare. It would be like America nuking a random 3rd world village during the cold war; an unproductive waste of resources

>>218398499
Ghosts aren't demons and any "technology" used to combat spiritual entities are a scam. If you're really concerned, buy a crucifix for your bedroom and stay away from vices.

>>218398506
Demonic possession would be counter-productive regardless, since it's an open demonstration that the devil exists and would push non-believers to converting
If the devil did exist he would be smart enough to strictly forbid possessions. One good recording of a clearly demonically possessed person levitating and shooting lasers from their eyes and it's game over

Because Western Christian civilization has dominated the globe. Africa and China and other cultures have their own concepts of possession and rituals to expel entities, but they're just not part of our zeitgeist.

There have been dozens of miracles attested to by tens of thousands of people and many scientifically verified instances of inexplicably bleeding hosts. People believe what they want to believe and it goes both ways.

>>218398667
Because they cannot be directly observed, recorded, or measured.

>>218398675
Dumb cope. If there was solid video evidence of an obvious possession like your "dozens of miracles attested to by tens of thousands of people" rather than just "believe me bro", people would have no choice but to believe. Nobody is going to watch an IRL version of the Exorcist and be like "nah that's schizophrenia"

>>218398667
NTA, but the spiritual and material are separate things. Same reason consciousness essentially doesn't exist from a purely empirical perspective
>There's no redemption for me
Very untrue.

>>218398699
Contemporarily, the Church utilizes psychologists to rule out mental illness long before an exorcist is even considered for the exact reasons they allow scientific analysis of suspected miracles. I'd encourage you to look into such cases.

Does the modern church still do exorcisms? When was the last exorcism they did?

>>218398699
Actual accounts of possession don't involve people levitating or their heads spinning around. Supposed supernatural phenomena are not things you'd see in a movie or comic book. Those are fiction. The actual accounts are of more subtle things.

>>218398759
That’s something I’ve always appreciated about the first Exorcist movie. It shows how they would actually treat Reagan using modern science and psychology rather than having her immediately crawling up the walls and stuff.

>>218398782
Quite often but it's done in relative secrecy.

>>218398759
I'm aware of that, but you should be aware they only do that for legal reasons. If they tried to "exorcise" someone with classifiable mental issues and they deteriorated they'd be legally liable. It's not because on their end they're trying to be scientifically rigorous.
And there are a lot of mental issues that aren't precisely diagnosable yet. We didn't even know Tourrette's was a thing until a few decades ago. Someone can be acting crazy as shit and not necessarily be something a psychiatrist can diagnose beyond "nigga needs help". And it may be the kind of crazy that is subconsciously (rather than cynically) performative and capable of being "cured" by placebo.
It's more nuanced than "psychologists looked at the patient and couldn't figure it out so the priests did magic and healed her!"

>>218398804
Why? They don't want the media getting involved? How come we know about all the prior cases then?

>>218398790
Conveniently the magic demons only exercise their supernatural presence through the limits of seeming like crazy humans

>>218398844
Historically, and this is something you do see in media, one of the main markers of a possession is a person possessing knowledge they could not have learned. Nobody is claiming anything which would be supernatural or defy the laws of nature.

>>218398831
>It's not because on their end they're trying to be scientifically rigorous
Two things can be true at once. What liability would the Church face if they disallowed scientific examination of eucharistic miracles? None.
>capable of being "cured" by placebo
What, because psychologists are unaware of the placebo effect? Pretty sure they're aware of the phenomenon.
>It's more nuanced than "psychologists looked at the patient and couldn't figure it out so the priests did magic and healed her!"
I never said it wasn't nuanced. But in the many instances in which that has happened, the efficaciousness speaks for itself. If you want to rationalize it as placebo, that's fine, but it doesn't really detract from the fact that it worked.

Does Annabelle actually ever walk down the hallway in the movie? I haven't seen it but I just watched the trailer and it looks like the spirit inside Annabelle is the one that attacks, not Annabelle herself even though imo that would be scarier if done well and scarier if the doll was ordinary like you said. You can spoiler the answer in case anyone wants to watch it.

>>218398842
I'm not 100% sure but I imagine they don't want to turn a vulnerable person's life into a circus. In addition to that, the public in general sees exorcism as a medieval, superstitious practice and I get the sense that the Church is a bit wary of projecting that image to a secularized population, regardless of it's efficaciousness.

>>218399037
In the films Annabelle is kind of a supernatural powerhouse. She causes hallucinations, amplifies the powers of ghosts and cursed objects, possesses people who spend too much time with her, and steals babies.

Annabelle Comes Home is underrated. I like the Goosebumps style premise of "Oh no, all the ghosts and monsters got loose and we have to fix it before mom and dad get home!"

>>218399069
>milking one piece of your multiverse harder than the Hobbit
That's Annabelle herself right? Since there's like 3 or 4 movies about her?

>>218399115
Yep. She even cameos in unrelated movies. Probably because she's the piece of Warren lore that permeated the most deeply into pop culture. I recall seeing youtube videos about her long before any of these movies were made

>>218399112
I agree. A sleepover at the Warrens' where all the spooks get loose is a fantastic concept for a teen horror. It turned into a series of vignettes rather than a cohesive narrative, but it was serviceable enough. I was pleasantly surprised by it.

oh yeah. There are plenty of atmospheric horror films coming out. A24 in particular has gone all in on that, and we've got Hokum coming out later this year, which will be a slow burn folk horror ghost story kind of thing. The writer director also made Oddity and Caveat, which were recent. That said, I think the best horror movies all came out in the 70s.

The Annabelle movies are ok. The original The Conjuring is the best film in the whole franchise, though. I'll also say The Nun was surprisingly good, but The Nun 2 was awful.

She described it as pure black, like just a void in the shape of a person. I thought for most of life it was just a spooky story, one day my friend said he saw a demon when he was a kid. I asked what it looked like, he said pure black, like a void in the shape of a person.
That was when I decided that even if I have my doubts, I'm not going to fuck with anything and tempt fate. Even if religions are fiction, we still live in a world we don't understand and it's wise not to meddle. Just to be safe

>>218399317
Fair point. It left me with "something" that I couldn't describe at the time. When it comes to kino, it left a mark.

But something that fucked me up watching it? Apparently,

I haven't watched the ring movies yet, where should I start? I know the basic story, have they made a sequel where instead of a VHS it's an unlisted YouTube video and she crawls out of smartphones and shit?

>>218399585
lol yeah she comes out of a smartphone in Rings. Just start at the beginning with The Ring. It's great.

>>218399611
Isn't the ring a remake of the Japanese original or something though?

He's saying that Christian morality is preferable for society right now because people aren't constitutionally capable of handling the nihilism of reality. This is not contradictory to being an atheist.

>>218399624
Yes, there's a Japanese film series based on some Japanese novels. The two film series are very different. As with any horror franchise, the original films in each series are the best ones. However The Ring is much better than the Japanese original Ringu imo.

My old house is “haunted,” but the nature of what’s haunting it is entirely up for grabs. It’s either some sort of attachment that I managed to shed or it’s my own externalized grief/anger/misery from the darkest part of my life. It breaks things and makes the house abnormally dark and shadowy. The lady I sold the house to scoffed when I gave her fair warning about it, but she’s a believer now.

>>218399682
>makes the house abnormally dark and shadowy

Spooky. Can you give some examples of this that you’ve experienced?

>>218397061
>Are the Warren's legit?
Legit how? They were notorious fraudsters who exploited kids with mental illnesses and repackaged their problems as paranormal to sell books and interviews.
Ed was a abusive angry drunk, who had an ongoing relationship with a 15 year old girl.

>>218397061
this movie is better than the exorcist

>>218399696
It’s hard to explain, but it’s like you could replace every bulb in the house with the highest wattage you can find, and it still feels/looks unusually dim, dark, and shadowy, like all the surfaces are absorbing more light than they should. Anywhere a shadow is cast, it just looks darker than you’d expect. The lady who lives there now got a little obsessed with it and painted every room the brightest, cheeriest colors she could find, but it didn’t make any difference.

>>218399682
I have a pesky poltergeist that follows me personally rather than haunting a specific location. It'll do things like slam my bedroom door behind me when I want to leave it open, and I have come back and open it and be like "really nigga, behave". And then it'll slide my papers off my desk

>>218399888
Have you considered you might be telekinetic? I think that’s the going theory on what causes poltergeist activity.

>>218399742
>Ed was a abusive angry drunk, who had an ongoing relationship with a 15 year old girl.
and?

>>218399788
This sounds just like dreams I have where everything is very dim and light switches never seem to do anything. There’s usually not even anything scary involved like I’m being chased or anything, I’m just trying to turn some lights on.

Oh piss off. You're basically an episode of "Sightings" trying to debunk the paranormal while promoting the paranatural. You're a filthy carnie just like the Warrens.

Read this book and wake up to reality! Ghost are real. And ghost shows/movies are kino.

No evidence will persuade them, not matter how convincing and irrefutable, because the implication that God exists and that salvation and damnation are real is too scary for them to contemplate.

The modern world raises people to be intensely superficial, selfish and fragmented in their thinking. This causes them to lose their shit when they are prompted to contemplate supernatural things.

Such as? I'm curious. How is it indisputable yet also not exciting?

>>218399985
Another detail I left out is that the whole house makes people feel claustrophobic. One prospective buyer asked, “Why are the ceilings so low?” And I told him that they were all 10’ on both floors, and 20’ in the living room, dining room, and kitchen. He wouldn’t believe me until I broke out the measuring tape, and then he was just like, “Huh …” and remained visibly uneasy.

>>218398143
The hype behind this scene never made sense to me. It wasnt scary moment nor wasnt any more memorable than any other He is behind you! scene in horror movies.

>>218400214
By not exciting I just mean not X-Men shit. The most notable example was when my mom took me to a dentist when I was a kid and I started telling him when he came in that I knew he lived in Florida and got married on the beach and a bunch of other things that were rushing into my consciousness. I was aware I was capable of knowing something about him that I shouldn't and was taking pleasure in informing him about them. For some reason he was kind of autistic and not impressed with any of it and was just like "yep, that's exactly right" and took me and my stunned mom into his office to show us his wedding photos on the beach and talk about how he used to surf. That's a favorite story of my mom's to tell.
So just little things like that. I'll also randomly turn to someone and be like "so and so is about to call you" and then it happens seconds later.
I've never shown telekenesis though

>>218400257
I have that “call premonition” thing, too, but my premonitions mainly come in dreams. I have two separate kinds - one that I think of as “future memories” and another type that are like deeply symbolic, “prophetic” dreams. I had one of those about 911, but in written form, it would come off like something straight out of Nostradamus.

>>218397061
They were
Or to be more technically correct
They believed they were

>>218397535
That’s spooky as hell.

I used to love this sort of shit when I was younger. The last time I watched The Conjuring I couldn’t get over how ridiculous it was.

>>218400468
The latest one is really quite funny ridiculous cause it's a succubus but isn't one bit attractive or has sex

Poltergeists are a well documented supernatural phenomenon. Police have submitted observations in official police reports verifying the reality of poltergeists. These police officers had no reason to submit these reports other than it was the truth.

Check out the Humpty Doo poltergeist from Australia:

Hype? It's unintentionally comedykino

>>218399152
The Mothman Prophecies. It’s scary enough while you’re watching it, but it’s that lingering sense of dread that you carry forward that makes it so good, that Fortean sense of the incomprehensible, that there are simply things that we will never fully understand.

>>218400629

Where's the source that it's a succubus?

>>218400735
>>218400629
Any succubus films where the succubus is actually attractive but it's still somehow scary? But also sexy? Like scarousal I guess?

>>218400809
The one in “The Unholy” is old-school 80s hot, but at various times, you see that it’s an illusion covering a straight-up abomination. It’s been literally decades since I saw it, so no idea how well the effects hold up.

>any sort of possession or demon shit is complete hogwash.

Untrue, and I should know as I am a professional demon exorcist. I charge a lot of money for my services (depending on the severity of the infection or strength of the "Blight" it can range from £5000 to my current record fee which was £67,000). Before the inevitable cries accusing me of some sort of cockamamie chicanery from armchair experts that have never seen or encountered a demon in real life, or just tried to explain it away with a bogus pseudoscientific theory (I've never seen Awkwafina in person, but I don't go around trying to convince myself that such a delectable and sexy Celestial could exist), let me say this:
My clients only pay 6 months after an exorsism and after they have seen results. If a client can prove that a demon still infects a locus then they will either get their fee returned to them or I will return at a 5% discount. So far no refunds and I have been doing this for nearly 20 years.

I handle many different types of entity and am not tied down to any particular religion; demons are wiley entities and will often ape whatever beliefs the client has, as such it is impossible to say which ones are being truthful of their origins, if indeed any are.

I have seen things that make some of the Warrens cases look like childsplay, and I'm not just talking about possessed dolls there! Eventually I will write my autobiography, but like the Warrens, I highly doubt most people will believe it.
