Many think that the demons are former fallen angels, this widespread teaching is wrong.
The demons are the children of human women who had sexual intercourse with some angels. (Genesis 6:1-4) Before the demons were called "demons", they were called "Nephilim" (giants) on earth. These Nephilim were wiped out by God shortly before the Flood because of their godlessness, but since the giants are not only human beings but also angels by nature, their souls remained on earth instead of going down to the realm of the dead. Since then they have been wandering on earth as evil spirits.
And the angels who mingled with the human women and thereby begat the demons were imprisoned in hell where they have to stay until the day of the great judgment. (2 Peter 2:4)
There is only one fallen angel and this one is the devil. He is the leader of the demons.
