The idea of evil spirits lurking in the shadows, waiting to possess unsuspecting humans, has been a staple of horror films and folklore for centuries. But is there any truth to it? Are spirits really out to get you, or have we just been watching too much The Exorcist?
Let’s strip away the Hollywood nonsense and get to the truth. Spoiler alert: Spirit isn’t hiding under your bed waiting to spook you.
Where Does the Fear of Evil Spirits Come From?
A lot of fear around spirits comes from religious dogma, horror movies, and, let’s be honest, human nature’s love of a good spooky story. The idea of "good versus evil" has been drilled into us for so long that we assume everything in the spiritual realm must fall into one of those categories.
But the reality? The spirit world isn’t some cosmic battle of light vs. dark. It’s just consciousness, energy, and love. Fear-based thinking only blocks your ability to experience spirit properly.
So, Can Spirits Be Negative?
Not in the way you think.
There’s no ‘demon’ hiding in your cupboard, no ‘cursed spirit’ waiting to latch onto you if you forget to sage your living room. But, like in life, some spirits had more challenging personalities when they were here, and that can sometimes come through in mediumship.
That doesn’t mean they’re evil—it just means they’re them. If your Uncle Bob was a grumpy sod in life, he’s not suddenly turning into Mother Teresa in spirit. But he’s not floating around with pitchforks and red eyes either. He’s just… Uncle Bob.
Why Some People Experience ‘Dark’ Energy
If spirit isn’t evil, then why do some people feel creepy energy? The answer usually lies in us, not them.
Fear creates fear – If you go looking for ghosts expecting a horror movie scene, your brain will fill in the blanks. Humans are powerful creators of energy, and fear magnifies that.
Residual energy – Some places hold onto emotions. If something traumatic happened in a space, that energy can linger. But it’s not spirit—it’s a memory imprinted in the space.
Low personal energy – If you’re feeling low, unwell, or energetically drained, you might interpret subtle spirit experiences as negative. Spirit is always love, but your perception of it can be skewed by your own energy.
You Don’t Need Protection from Spirit—You Need Protection from Fear
One of the biggest myths is that you need to "protect" yourself from spirit. Nope. Spirit doesn’t need you to surround yourself in a bubble of light because they’re not trying to hurt you in the first place. The only thing you need protection from is your own overactive imagination and the fear-based stories you’ve been told.
If you truly feel like something negative is around you, take a step back and ask yourself:
Am I actually experiencing something spiritual, or am I just feeling anxious?
Have I been consuming too much spooky content lately?
Is my energy low or my mood off, making me more susceptible to fearful thoughts?
Spirit works from a place of love, not fear. If something feels "off," it’s more likely to be your own emotions or energy rather than an external force.
So, What About Hauntings?
What people often call "hauntings" are usually one of the following:
A spirit just visiting – Spirits pop in and out all the time. If you feel someone around you, it’s usually just a loved one checking in, not a poltergeist planning your demise.
Residual energy – Again, places hold energy. But that’s not an intelligent spirit—it’s like an emotional fingerprint left behind.
Your own mind playing tricks – Ever noticed how you only get "haunted" when it’s dark and you’ve just read a scary story? Exactly.
The Truth About Spirit: It’s All Love
Spirit is not something to fear. The idea of evil spirits and malevolent forces is, frankly, outdated nonsense that stops people from opening up to the amazing experiences mediumship can bring.
When you let go of fear, you allow yourself to experience spirit as it really is—gentle, loving, and always there to support you.
