They are convinced that such harassment has come from the unappeased souls of dead relatives and others. Yet, as the Scriptures clearly show, this is not true. Invisible spirit forces called demons are behind such attacks, and they delight in harassing and frightening people. ​ — Luke 9: 37 - 43; Ephesians 6: 11, 12.
Kuid nagu Pühakiri selgelt näitab, pole ründajateks sugugi mitte surnute hinged, vaid hoopis nähtamatud vaimolendid, keda kutsutakse kurjadeks vaimudeks ehk deemoniteks ning kellele meeldib inimesi kimbutada ja hirmutada.
