What you watch on television matters—sometimes in a very direct way.
And these days, television, YouTube, websites, and social media are filled with horror stories.
Often it’s wise to keep abreast of certain phenomena. Knowledge is power. “Fools die for lack of knowledge,” says Proverbs 10. Jesus taught and demonstrated much in the realm of spiritual warfare. Look at what He faced in the desert! Can you imagine? We are at a time when manifestations of evil are rampant.
But excessive interest in and viewing of diabolic manifestations can open portals.
The online site Quora posed this question:
“Can my house become haunted from watching videos about spirits and demons?”
“The answer is yes,” said a respondent named Kati Olivia Brown. “I made a huge mistake by watching the most terrifying video. I forgot the girl’s name but it was some girl who was getting possessed supposedly by six demons.
“I listened to the audio recording on YouTube and everything, and after that I searched it up on Google (‘scary ghosts caught on camera’), which is the worst thing you can do.
“Now for the creepy stuff that happened.”
“At 3:00 a.m., my brother came running to my room, waking me up. I asked him what the big issue was. He is 17, a year older than I am. He is a smart guy and isn’t the type of guy to not know what he is talking about.
“He told me when he was downstairs drinking milk he heard someone shout ‘Hey!’ He was really scared at first, but then he told me he heard a lot of movement from upstairs. I knew it couldn’t be my dog because she’s always by my side, and she was sleeping and my dad was sleeping and my mom sleeps downstairs.
“He told me he didn’t know if it was walking but it was just a lot of movement at this moment I knew I invited something very bad in my house. I didn’t want to tell him about the creepy [stuff] I was watching on YouTube. A month ago I was an atheist; I wasn’t a believer, so I thought all these ghost or demon stories were fiction, and I felt like the unwanted visitors that were coming after me sensed I wasn’t a believer and thought I’d be easy to target.
“I converted as quickly as I could and asked God to please protect me and whatever hell was in my house because I myself heard people talking once; it wasn’t my brother because he was sleeping; it sounded gender neutral. I quickly ran to my mom’s room. I told her I had no idea what the voice was saying; it sounded like it spoke a completely different language that didn’t even exist.
“I cut off all the creepy stuff in my life and you should too. You don’t have to believe me but I know what I heard yes by viewing creepy stuff you’re inviting unknown visitors… majority of them are bad.”
It’s why, while occasionally posting frightening manifestations, we urge viewers not to lock into sites that include, especially, any form of ritual.
