Have you ever been attacked by a negative, evil, or demonic entity?
Was it in your house or somewhere else?
What did it do to you? Did it leave marks? did anyone else see it happen?
Yes. It happened on this forum. Check out the "Who is Jesus?" thread. It kind of amused me, kind of made me angry, but it left no permanent marks. And yes, there were a few witnesses.

I do believe in demons and Satan (as a demon), but I don't beliee they manifest themselves as people readily think. They do tempt us and try to get us to do the wrong thing, but we have the choice not to.

About the hallucination bit, that could be totally true. My younger sister while on medication that caused horrible reactions would hallucinate the weirdest things, even off the medication she sometimes does, myself I have had hallucinations, but it doesn't mean they are real.

yes - i've personally never used any kind of narcotics or needed that kind of medication, but there's plenty of other things that can cause hallucinations. sleep deprivation, stress, any kind of temporal mental instability and so on. some people seem to hallucinate even without any apparent reason.

i have a friend who sees octopuses now and then, in windows, corners, etc. her doctor has told her not to worry about it. and it doesn't bother her much because she knows they're not actually there - although it can apparently get spooky some nights. i can understand that...

someone please correct me if i'm wrong, but i read somewhere (no source, sorry) that voice hallucinations are more common than you'd think - a lot of perfectly 'sane' people hear voices on a regular basis. from my POV, that'd explain a lot of 'divine conversations' that allegedly have taken place in the past.

Voice hallucinatations are not as regular as visual, from my experience (I have bipolar disorder). I've seen more visual hallucinations then voice.

I don't believe in the existence of demonic entities, so for me the question is kinda moot.

Which is not to say I've never experienced extreme negativity before. I've met a very few people in life who have literally made my hair stand on end. I've kept my distance every time, and it turned out to be the right thing to do.

I'm also inclined to keep my distance from people that dogs do not like. That seems to work too.

Egads, they're just harmless, little night seizures. Read before going to bed to reduce your stress levels, and avoid alcohol because it's noted for worsening such conditions. You'll be fine.
