#404 - READER | Demon stalks man and his family for years

Ripley Erin Greeff stumbled across this blog while seeking answers about a demonic entity that appears to be stalking him, and asked if I could shed light on his situation—probably, in the hopes that I can allay his concerns.

In an e-mail received this morning, he wrote:

This is going to sound crazy; I was going to ask if you knew anything about a tall, dark-hooded figure.

I've read and searched so many things online and at the library trying to get answers. There's always people that encounter something similar but they don't get answers either—just more questions; [but], I noticed you had blogged about how you can see a demon, [and] I was going to see if you knew what kind it would be based on what it looked like.

My brother and sister have seen it in a moving vehicle. I, on the other hand, had an encounter at my mother's house a couple of years back in the middle of the night. My baby boy slept in the bed with me at the time. Don't know if that helps.

If you don't find me competently cooky, and know anything about these things, please write me back ASAP. My number is 1(580).273.6158. I am nurse aide [that] works nights; so, it doesn't matter how late you contact me back.

I'm sorry again for this weird message. I just came across your blog by accident and it helped me more than anything else had.

Thank you for replying,

Ripley Erin Greeff

My answer is this:

Most demons that resemble the image of man are at least people, and can be confronted directly in the absence of communication barriers, such as language differences, physical limitations that inhibit (or prohibit) speech, relative time flow, willingness to communicate, and, of course, their overall intentions.

SEE ALSO | Read how the anatomy of some demons' mouths prohibit speech in the human tongue in Three things you never knew about a centurion demon's mouth; and, hear what a demon sounds like in an altered time stream in Demons can alter the flow of time.

So, the next time you see it, simply ask. Walk right up to its face and ask it—point-blank—what it wants, keeping in mind that manners and courtesy are all-important, in that they bridge the gap between man and demon that is created by the wide distinction between the superior demon and the inferior you.

KEEP IN MIND | I use those terms only in the biological sense—the only way they could ever be used  when comparing demon to man.

Believe it or not, there are many demons who harm no one, and, in fact, enter into relationships with humans, some based on friendship, others on business, including other types of partnerships, even criminal syndication and politics; some involve sex, where love may or may not be a factor, but where children can be born.

READ | For more on demon-man sexual relationships throughout history, and, in particular, in the Bible, read Why some demons wear clothes; why others go naked.

Your situation, however, looks very bad. I say this because, due to the overall superiority of the demon mind and body, it is difficult for demons in general to think of humans as valuable enough to take care of in their interactions with them. Of course, this is true of many humans, too, in regards to other humans; but, it is more natural for a demon to feel and think this way, and to act according to that nature without a conscience.

So, set your expectations accordingly whenever you meet any demon, and realize that any overture a demon makes to you that involves interaction with it or a relationship of some kind usually serves the demonic agenda to conquer by assimilation and integration, and is probably not what it appears to be on its face.

Based on your description of the demon, it could be any number of demonic entities, as any one of the billions out there will wear a standard black, traveling cloak, primarily, to keep from freaking people out with their appearance; but, I'd say that this is an aristocrat in the demon world, who is head-hunting within your family (like when a rancher goes to a cattle auction), judging by these factors:

• it makes appearances without fear
• it does not cloak (in other words, make itself half-invisible)
• it does not speak directly to you
• it is shaped like a man
• it wears a black cloak

Unless, like me and others, you have had extensive involvement with many demons over an extended period of time, you wouldn't know why the aforementioned combination means what I say it does; but, let's just say that it means you are being watched by a farmer of people, who is surrounded by a myriad of very, very powerful demonic consultants that are probing you and your family for data this particular demon will evaluate to determine whether you and your family meet his needs.

Take a look at the black-cloaked figure in the photos, below, which were taken from a video showing the Spectre of Death conferring with a giant demon head, a video showing it standing next to my window, and a video in which it is standing in the doorway to my old apartment:

Demon head on wall

It may also have already begun its work long ago, and is just checking in; or, it may be a potential buyer. Most commonly, people are used as hosts for transport and respite, which is called, "possession."

NOTE | To learn about the industry in which demons farm humans to other demons for the purpose of possession, read Drug-induced "auditory hallucinations" a prelude to demonic possession.

My advice to you is to move very far away from where you are as soon as possible. You are in danger, to be sure.

#403 - VIDEOS/PHOTOS | Dragons in the trees (and curtains)

Within the past few months, dragons have become more and more the theme of demonic art, especially over the past several days, when the new moon brought its usual hobgoblin demons, known for their blanket demons and tree art and the like:

A dragon's head made out of tree branches

A flying dragon made from twisted curtains

A perched dragon made from a tree trunk

Two days ago, hobgoblin demon-generated dragon imagery appeared in two videos made during the period of high demonic activity at that time. First, in a video made while on an early morning walk, a dragon's head was created using tree branches; then, in a video made at another Santa Clara residence, a flying dragon created from a pair of twisted curtains:

A dragon's head made out of tree branches

A flying dragon made from twisted curtains

The culprit behind the flying dragon-curtains
In one of the still frames, the culprit—an angry, skull-faced demon of miniature proportions—was revealed:

A skull-faced demon, wearing a black cloak, arranged curtains into the shape of a flying dragon

Symbols synonymous with hobgoblin demon attacks
I would not have made the connection, per se, but, victims of hobgoblin demon attacks are inundated with symbols that are few in number, but found in a multitude of things (more on symbols at Hobgoblin demons stylize number eight into a logo of sorts; see also Hobgoblin demons attempt to induce insanity by blocking pleasurable experiences).

Dragon theme began earlier this year
This is not the first time a dragon has been found in a video clip made during a demonic attack, as was first discussed in SCIENCE | Peering into the fourth dimension of overlapping space, and is seen in this still frame:

The original still frame, showing a dragon with outspread wings, made from a tree trunk (neck and torso), shrubbery (wings), and light passing through the branches (head)

A copy of the same still frame, color-enhanced and sharpened to increase the distinction between the natural elements in the scene and the representation of the dragon

The address of the house in which this dragon appeared is 666 South First Street, in San Jose, which was first mentioned in Neighbor's house number is 666—the Mark of the Beast.

Dream of dragon preceded its use in demonic art
The only other time I've seen a dragon in relation to the demons I now face was in one dream. In that dream, I was back home again in Indiana, accompanying a man who was clearly in a hurry, as he shouted for me to get in his truck. I just stood there for a second, trying to get my bearings, as I had just suddenly appeared at the passenger door a few seconds earlier, not knowing how I got there or where I was. Right after he said this, I heard an explosion and saw a flash of light.

So, I jumped in his truck, and off we went down a street I am familiar with from my childhood to a natural gas company known for a giant, round blue tank that sits near the road. It's the only structure on that southeast side of Indianapolis that stands over six stories tall:

The battle with the dragon happened at Beech Grove Natural Gas Company; Refined Metals Corporation, a neighboring company, was cited by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2008 for polluting the area

On the way, a conversation with the man revealed that the demons had finally launched their long-planned attacked, and people were fighting them. There was no army or law enforcement of any kind in the scene. (I was encouraged to find that gas and working automobiles were still available, though.)

Before I was able to get anymore information or make further observations, the truck had swerved onto a dirt road leading to the tank, and skidded to a halt right before a locked gate. We jumped out after he unsuccessfully trying to pry the gate open. He grabbed a long rifle from behind the seat, before looking up at the sky in wide-eyed terror.

A hot flame jetting across the sky made me do the same, where I saw a large, very slow-moving, very quiet dragon gliding smoothly through the air. Like a water snake in a pond, it slithered to the right when it turned, and in a very unaffected, non-chalant way. Occasionally, anger would creep over its face right before it'd open its mouth to throw fire. Otherwise, it seemed very unaware of the mayhem it caused the people beneath him.

Then, that was it for that night, and was the end of dreams with dragons (even though that story does pick up in other dreams).

Demonic tree art responsible for destroying the unique beauty of San Jose
When I first moved to the Bay Area, I couldn't shut up about how beautiful it was to people back in Indiana; and, I'd say that the only thing I mentioned the most was how well-landscaped everything was. The greenery was lush, and classy.

It stayed that way until sometime recently, when I noticed that the trees don't look full and healthy, and that the well-selected type of shrubbery that once had graced every street and sidewalk (like rosemary and lavender) had been replaced with odd, ugly flower plants that bloom once a year, and only for a week or two at a time.

In short, what made the Bay Area beautiful was taken from it, even though I couldn't explain it. Well, at least not until I made the connection between the sickly trees and what is being done to them by demons.

Examples of local tree art by demons
In Demons sculpt tree into skull, use street lamps for eyes, the branches of a tree were manipulated into the shape of a skull, that you could see from a vantage point on the train platform; it even used two streetlights for a pair of glowing eyes:

A tree was sculpted into the shape of a skull near the San Fernando VTA Light Rail station

Other demonic works of tree art (and the culprits behind them) are shown in the following posts:

• Giant demon faces make usual appearance during demonic attack
• Demon in tree manipulates branches to form letter 'J'
• PHOTOS | Tree-shaping trend grows more sophisticated
• VIDEO | Demons create animated tree monster on video

One culprit behind at least some tree art is shown in a video in VIDEO | A Tree Demon, and appears to be made out of a kind of metallic body armor that glistens in the sun like the broadside of a leaf.

Other demonic artwork
Other demonic artwork is discussed and shown in VIDEO TIMELINE | The Face of the Spectre of Death; the culprit behind that is shown in Demonic 'art' passé de mode.

#402 - VIDEO/PHOTOS | The Pillow Demons

A video clip made hours ago at a residence in Santa Clara shows several pillow demons, all of which appear on the same corner of my pillow; and, just like the old maid and the young maiden in Chica o Vieja, the faces overlap each other. This enhanced still frame highlights the most prominent one:

A color-enhanced and sharpened still frame (enlarged x2), showing an apprehensive, beret-wearing pillow demon peers sideways out of a fearful eye, with his upper lip coiled in snare, bearing gritted teeth

There are at least four other faces overlapping the one shown above; however, unlike the aforementioned painting, in which each face has an equal presence (e.g., same size), you might have to do more than just change your focal point as you stare at the image to see the face of each pillow demon. Specifically, you may have to make adjustments to color, as well as other enhancements (such as sharpening), to images of pillow and blanket demons to visualize faces that are less prominent due to overlapping.

NOTE | To enhance your own images showing demonic activity (or other), see Enhancing photos of demons.

Such faces include ones that share most of the same features as the face overlapping it, or ones that have less definition (fewer features and/or less depth and shading) and/or less surface area (by facing profile, particularly when the overlapping face is facing front). Others may require the imposition of a border mask (as was used in the still frame above) to assist in defining the outer region of the face appears.

NOTE | For the typical post on blanket demons, I only highlight the demon with a face that appear to have a round dark dot in their eyes, where the iris/pupils should be.

This was incidentally discovered when I viewed the same still frame in two different versions of Quicktime. Specifically, in the still frame made from the video played by Quicktime Player 7, only the face shown above was apparent; however, in Quicktime Player X, which uses a blacker black and a whiter white (i.e., an extended gamma range), another face emerged:

The extended gamma range of Quicktime X over Quicktime 7 revealed another face

The video clip is my first one showing a demon blending its face with a pillow. Like their blanket demon cousins, a pillow demon creates a face by bending and folding the pillow's fabric, and otherwise shapes the topography of the pillow to create contrasts between light and shadow, which are necessary to add realistic depth to facial features; and patterns and stripes are used to define the borders of those facial features, outline the region of the face, and for eyebrows a:

This video was made at same Santa Clara residence where I acquired the video and photo showing a blue-tinted demon blending with light and a photo of the white mask of a female hobgoblin demon hovering over a human woman's face.

#401 - TECHNOLOGY | Enhancing photos of demons (and the like)

While looking for ways to clean up crappy photos of my boogey men, I came across a GIMP tutorial entitled The High Pass Filter for Radical Sharpening, which had easy-to-follow instructions for improving the quality of images that are blurred by the motion of the camera.

Here's a before and after of my first attempt, in which you can see nearly twice as many features in the demon's face in the improved version as you can in the original:


Enhanced

Original

Here's the result of applying the same method to another image, from which I learned that images that are motion-blurry benefit the most from this method:

Before

After

I enhanced another image, this time, one that is very grainy and unfocused; it would have benefitted most by applying sharpening to individual parts of the face, as multiple renderings revealed thatsome settings work better on one part, while not so good on the other:

Before

After

Here's another image, which is highly contrasted; like, motion blurs, that seems to be an ideal condition, as well:

Before

After

This image lacked contrast, which makes it difficult to sharpen because edges are defined by significant contrasts in color, and it is the areas created by these edges to which the various filters used in this particular sharpening procedure that varying degrees of sharpening are applied; so, before attempting the procedure, I applied the Curves filter for a greater contrast of colors in the image.

Also, because the image is very low-resolution, I only used half of the sharpening procedure, opting to use the layers that are Gaussian-blurred as overlays, instead. The result is that the dip in the crook of the extended arm of the demon is more apparent, the fringe on that same arm is now distinguishable from the background, and the face of the hood is completely round (the cut of a demon's black cloak is important, as it is used to identify its variety correctly, since many demons of the same size—but of differing types—wear black cloaks):

Before

After

NOTE | A contrast between the top of the demon's hood and the object on the table behind was created by cloning a lighter portion of the wall over the darker portion that blended too much with the hood, which made the demon look like he was wearing a pointy hat.

This technique is particularly important for images showing blanket or pillow demons, in that the improvement in contrast and sharpness it makes will often reveal a second demon's face overlapping the first, or a demon's face that could not otherwise be seen very well by others unfamiliar with the style in which such demons are created without the enhancements this procedure provides:

Further adjustments, showing yet another face of a pillow demon, which partially overlaps the first; it is squinting its eyes, and has a wide-open mouth that, like many demons, bears animalistic features

The high-pass filter sharpening technique highlights the three-dimensional nature of a cloaked demon, which is important in photos in which the background behind the semi-transparent demon is the same color as the demon itself.

In this photo, the demon's head could be glare from the surface behind him; but, with the procedure applied (see link below), you can clearly see that it is, in fact, a head (the quality of the rest of the photo notwithstanding):

Sharpening this still frame with the procedure highlights the three-dimensional quality of the head, which would not be present if the round, white circle shown in the original were anything but a head (click image to enlarge)

If the environment surrounding a demon in an image looks unnatural after applying this technique, then apply it only to the demon via selective sharpening. There are multiple ways to select only a portion of an image, many of which are described in tutorials posted to YouTube, as well.

Selective sharpening should also be used instead of border masks in images of blanket demons, wherever masks may be necessary, such as in blurry still frames, or as otherwise appropriate, such as images in which the face of the blanket demon is clearly defined by natural borders:

The demon's face was selectively sharpened, while color enhancements were made overall

The original, unenhanced still frame

Highlighting it by using a semi-transparent mask, which is a black-filled layer set at 50% opacity

If you want to try and improve your images using the same method I did, follow the instructions in this video:

There is a second technique that works well, too:

#400 - SCIENCE | Sucker demons connect demons to humans for 'possession'

A sucker demon's omniscient knowledge of human biology, combined with its' physical characteristics specifically adapted to connect to both the human and demonic nervous systems, allows it to enable centurion demons to physically control the human to which a sucker demon is attached.

The tendrils of a tumbleweed-variety sucker demon are extended into the body of a human at various points, which create a neural pathway from the human to the demon, enabling the latter to send impulses from its brain to the human's network of nerves.

A common site in San Jose and its surrounding areas are people with a hazy, shimmering, ethereal-like crown on top of their heads (read SCIENCE | The ethereal haze and glow of demons (and ghosts) explained):

The possessed will exhibit the appearance of wavy lines above their heads

This is actually the external and cloaked portion of a tumbleweed-variety sucker demon that is attached to a person, and which is shown on my head in this video clip (because the cloaked sucker demon on top of my head is difficult to see, the clip repeats using a different video filter each time for better viewing):

Earlier this year, I made another (and better) video of a cloaked sucker demon on top of my head, slithering down the back of my neck:

The shimmer of air around such person's heads is caused by the refraction of light as it passes through the cloaked body of a sucker demon, which is extremely hot. The principles that apply here are the same as those to a mirage (whereby heat rising from pavement raises the temperature of the air above it, so that light passing through it appears to ripple and wave).

Following is a video showing a sucker demon attempting to attach itself to me in order to act as a interface for demonic possession:

Once the sucker demon has successfully attached to a human, a centurion demon enters the human by passing through it via the same ability it uses to pass through walls, which is somehow related to its cloak. The sucker demon then attaches to the equivalent portions of the demon's nervous system.

To make a connection between a human and a demon is not the only role played by the sucker demon; it also needed to anchor the demon to the human. That's because a demon must be cloaked to pass through people, walls, floors, etc., and matter affecting such a cloak cannot maintain enough traction to cling to, and cannot achieve the requisite momentum to keep up with, a human in motion.

A sucker demon, however, can affect both cloaked states simultaneously, thus allowing it to attach to both cloaked and uncloaked matter cloak at the same time. In fact, that is how a sucker demon is used to cause internal injuries without leaving external indicators (and, their precise knowledge of the human brain enables them to perform types of lobotomy-like procedures on victims of the Voices—and other—demons). In this case, the portion of the sucker demon attached to the human are uncloaked and the portions attached to the centurion demon are cloaked.

NOTE | To remove the uncloaked external portion of a sucker demon attached to you from yourself and others, read HOW-TO | Removing eye spider demons from your skin and HOW-TO | Vanquishing sucker demons from the bedroom.

By anchoring itself to the human using the uncloaked portions of its body, the sucker demon uses its connection to the centurion demon via the cloaked portions of its body to pull it along with the human.

Once a centurion demons achieves possession, it is a complex matter of overcoming any resistance offered by the human it possesses, as the demon must maintain enough concentration in order to "work their nerves" properly.
