I've never seen a demon, I don't know anyone who has seen a demon, nor have I ever seen any evidence of a demon of any kind. No body can produce one on demand, or give explicit instructions for arranging their appearance.

Wouldn't we expect to find puddles of demon wee or piles of demon poo once in while? Why do people who claim to see demons also tend to have bi-polar disorders or other psychosis producing mental health illnesses?

The purported entities leave less evidence behind than Sasquatch. I'd be more inclined to believe in little green men or the Yeti because there are some photographic and high-reliability witnesses who've seen things that are irrefutable. Demonic possession doesn't have much to offer in evidence. If it existed, you know the true believers would be leading one around on a leash. What better way to convince the reluctant follower?

Culture and belief provide the lenses through which people interpret the unknown. If you think that the world is full of demons, then when you see something out of the corner of your eye, you impart demon onto a pair of twisted eyelashes that happen to unspring while you look that way. That's all it is IMO. There may be real personal and discrete psychic phenomena but I've not seen one iota of proof for it. There is more evidence for collective psychic phenomena because of brain wave entrainment.
