Before getting started, let’s review a few notes that are common to my writings…
*British spelling is often used, except for the quoted material, which normally employs U.S. spelling.
*New Testament Scripture is normally taken from the Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament: Third Edition (ALT3). Copyright © 2007 by Gary F. Zeolla of Darkness to Light ministry. Previously copyrighted © 1999, 2001, 2005 by Gary Zeolla.
*Old Testament Scripture is normally taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE® (NASB), copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation. Used by permission.
*The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, also rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah.
*The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).
*Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.
*As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.

Thus, it may seem crazy to some to consider such topics as demons and fallen angels and monstrous creatures of antiquity; however, throughout much of world history it would have been strange not to be interested in such supernatural topics.
For example, one of the most famous ghost stories in North American lore is the Bell Witch haunting. Although it may be dismissed today as some sort of hoax or misunderstanding of electric currents, many people witnessed the strange poltergeist and were deeply influenced by it.
