(English Except) — Our world is full of mysteries and wonders. Religious people believe that not only we mortals live in this world but there are some other creatures that inhabit various parts of our natural habitat even if we cannot see them with our own eyes.
According to Joshua Trachtenberg’s Jewish Magic and Superstition: A Study in Folk Religion (1939), he wrote: “The number of demons in the world is very large… their number is innumerable, the simple unit that can be defined among them is less than ten thousand.” — Jewish Magic and Superstition, p. 39.
Because of their number, they can undeniably cause more damage to mortals in the physical world. But how do we know that they are real, and what signals their presence to protect ourselves against these powerful beings that we cannot see?
With the help of the senses of animals
Although they cannot be seen with the eyes, the senses of animals can help us to know the presence of spirits around us.
In a report from the beliefs of the Germans before, “when a donkey or horse suddenly whines at night and refuses to move forward, it should not be urged to run, because there is a spirit or demon blocking its path. All animals, and especially dogs, are sensitive to the presence of spirits; when the dog perceives [that there seems to be a creature around] it will bark or growl, and indicates that it is taken as an indication that the Angel of Death is in town, and therefore a sign of impending death.” (cf. Grimm, III, 449, §454, 450, §493; Wuttke, 33.)
Animals have heightened senses that allow them to see things that humans may not. Although there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that animals can sense “evil spirits” or “evil presences”, in a supernatural sense, they can certainly pick up on cues in their environment that humans may not notice person.
Animals can respond to changes in electromagnetic fields, ultrasonic sounds, or even subtle changes in human behavior or body language. For example, dogs and cats can respond to changes in their owner’s mood or behavior, which can be interpreted as sensing the “evil presence” of some person or creature.
In different cultures and belief systems, there are legends and superstitions about animals that see supernatural beings or forces. However, they are often based on stories, and anecdotal evidence rather than scientific research.
So, even if we cannot fully know the presence of an invisible entity such as spirits, animals have a tendency to see or feel things that cannot be penetrated by human senses.
What paranormal investigators do
Ghost hunters, also known as paranormal investigators, often claim to sense the presence of spirits or other supernatural beings. These individuals typically use a variety of tools and techniques, such as electromagnetic field (EMF) detectors, infrared cameras, and audio recording devices, to attempt to detect and document paranormal activity.
Some ghost hunters believe they have the ability to sense the presence of spirits through their intuition or psychic sensitivity. They may claim to feel changes in energy, experience a sudden drop in temperature, or have other sensory perceptions that they attribute to the presence of spirits. However, these experiences are highly subjective and not supported by scientific evidence.
It is important to note that the field of paranormal investigation is not scientifically recognized, and the claims made by ghost hunters about sensing the presence of “evil spirits” or any spirits cannot be empirically verified. Although some individuals may truly believe they have these abilities, their experiences cannot be confirmed or proven with scientific observation.
As with many aspects of the paranormal, beliefs about sensing the presence of spirits are often rooted in personal experiences, cultural beliefs, and anecdotal evidence rather than scientific analysis.
Belief in spirits is still based on personal opinions. But the Bible warns people — whether they believe or not — to never do things connected to spiritism or demonism. — Deuteronomy 18:9-13, King James Version
