How to Tell If You're Dealing with a Ghost or a Demon

There are some pretty obvious differences between whether you are
dealing with a ghost haunting and a demonic one. Let's start off with
the basics.
A ghost is the spirit of a person that has passed away. They usually appear in a vague, shadowy or evanescent form, wandering among or haunting living persons. It is the trace left by a living person after they die. This spirit has somehow gotten stuck between this plane of existence and the next. It is thought to occur as a result of a death by traumatic, unusual or highly emotional circumstances.
A demon, on the other hand, was never alive. they are supernatural beings, that are created by the devil/Lucifer/Satan (whatever you want to call him) by manipulating a human soul into that of a purely evil creature. Not quite sure about how they get to Earth, but they reside in Hell, and come to Earth through many ways, such as summonings/rituals.
So, how do you know if you're dealing with a ghost or a demon?
Some characteristics of both of these types of hauntings can be pretty similar, so trying to figure out which type you are dealing with can be pretty tricky, but it is imperative to figure out which, especially if you are dealing with a demon.
Since there's no real way to confuse a residual ghost haunting with a demonic one, I'm going to skip right over that and move on to what is known as an intelligent haunting. An intelligent haunting is a case where you are dealing with a spirit that was once human. This spirit is just as aware of your presence as you are of it. In many cases the spirit will try to communicate with you. This can be done through knocks, disembodied voices and sometimes even through an apparition.
Normally, in this type of haunting the spirit needs or wants something from you. Possibly help crossing over, or contacting a still living relative. Sometimes, they may be curious as to why you are in their home. Remember, this was their space first. This type of human spirit is usually harmless, and merely trying to get a message across to you.
A demonic haunting is a completely different story all together. This spirit WANTS to cause you harm. They feed off of fear and negativity, and will create these feelings in order to obtain what they need. This creature will manifest itself in a variety of different ways, at first, possibly trying to make itself seem like it is no more than an intelligent human spirit.
But that's where the similarities end. These beings will sometimes appear to you as a dark figure, or sometimes a large, black dog ( ever hear of the Hounds of Hell?) One of the most common signs that your dealing with a demon is if the spirit growls at you. Normal, human entities do not do this. Also, you can experience sleep paralysis, violent sexual and non sexual attacks, migraine headaches, voices and moving objects.
Remember that demonic hauntings are not all that uncommon. It is logical to believe that there are millions of demons, and possibly even more. These are extremely territorial, clever, diabolical creatures with incredible intelligence. These beings are a bit insane, and figuring out how to manipulate or mentally unravel us is no challenge to them whatsoever. In fact, they enjoy it. After all, that is their goal.
So now you know how to tell if you are dealing with an intelligent human spirit, or a merciless demonic one. If you are dealing with a demonic presence, please contact your local religious leaders. Have your home exorcised or blessed. Do not just leave the home thinking that will rid you of the demon. It will follow you, and become increasingly more angry and violent.
