Why? Why something dark?

I agree, but I also think that most who practice it don't know. They think it's some natural connect. The same, some think of tantric yoga and tai chi, and many other practices... imo.

I think "demons" are just an 'old school' way of conceiving of (and labeling) difficult and often inexplicable psychological phenomena. And I, personally, feel that there is much we do not know about this area of human experience because it's so subjective and metaphysical in nature, and that I am far better off in leaving it alone (unexplored). I have had a few very intense experiences of this sort, some very scary, and some very positive. But unlike most people I know that have had similar experiences, I have no desire at all to recapture them, or to "figure them out". I am content to 'let the mystery be'. As I feel that as a human being I am not meant to know everything, and especially to know about things of this nature.
I don't chase after the "demons", and they, in turn, seem to be content to leave me be. And I'm just fine with that arrangement.

Parapsychology as a research field?
It's good that people take paranormal phenomena seriously enough to investigate them from a scientific point of view - even if it should turn out that there is nothing truly "supernatural", these phenomena still have some cause, even if it's a purely psychological one.
Or parapsychological phenomena?
I'm pretty much on the fence about their actual causes.

"What you don't know won't hurt you", sort of thing. Do you find that works?
I found to the contrary. In fact, I have found that those who know through a reliable guide, have spared themselves the agony of finding out later, what they could have known before.
However, understandably we live in a world where many don't seem to know whom, or what to trust. Hence, the 'wait and find out later' approach...

It can have to do with demons. People researching this are sometimes sincere; but ignorant and don't know what they're dealing with. They could end up in trouble and under demonic oppression that they can't handle.

One mans idea of psychic phenomenon is another mans harbinger. Visionaries are known for using the longbow with various subjects. But directly hijacking another persons thoughts to tickle them with mystery is just absurd and unprofessional.

It's bogus.
No, the demon idea. Why is something that is beyond your current grasp automatically becomes some form of evil intent towards your harm? You said you think it's demons. Why? Why not wonder if it's the opposite, like angels?What are you referring to as dark?The demon idea?Or the subject of parapsychology?
Until somebody can demonstrate that parapsychology is actually "about" something, or has any sustainable evidence of its existence, I think it's about nothing at all, other than the imaginative wanderings of people who don't deal well with their own reality.

Using a variation of the double-slit experiment, Dr. Dean Radin and his team postulated that the human mind's consciousness intent might be able to collapse a quantum wave function without any direct interaction. They predicted that meditation and concentration might be able to affect quantum matter.
Initial experiments had participants positioned 2 meters away from the experiment's apparatus that the test's participants focused on. Alternating between having participants concentrate on the apparatus, then removing their attention revealed astounding results. Factoring out temperature differences or other variables that might have influenced the test, they offered this experiment to be done by participants online. Several thousand robotic control sessions were done in order to ensure that a determination could be made for the factor of human consciousness,
Dean Radin has described the results of double slit experiments in which a fraction of a percent deviation from the predictions of quantum mechanics was measured in the probability distribution, and the focused intention of human subjects showed correlation with those deviations.
