I never said demons. I don't know what it was. All I know is that it scared the heck out of me. And at the time, I was in another brother's house who was an elder.
I say forget preconceived ideas, the Bible, demons, ghosts, whatever you call it - you are still left with something that can't be expained.

Billyblobber,
"Doubters" just use the same standards of evidence with the supernatural as they would with UFOs or new animals or new scientific breakthroughs or anything else. You SHOULD doubt by default. Default belief in things just because you want to believe in them are a problem area for humanity as a whole, and cause huge problems throughout human history.
I agree, and I wish my experience was me just wanting to believe in them, but it wasn't and I can't deny it. So I'm stuck. I can't prove my event because it only happened once. And I can't deny it happened.

Cofty,
Where would you go to find the evidence?
Instead of asking us to provide it, why not look for it yourself?
Evidence should be expected and demanded but the problem is we can't replicate on demand the things we have seen and heard. I'm not asking anyone to believe my accounts.
So we're left with people who have seen and heard and those who haven't.

here's where it gets complicated.
If someone, or more than one person, actually saw something supernatural, and they weren't doing drugs, didn't have mental or emotional problems, weren't sleepwalking then who am I to say they were making it up?
I don't have that right. Just because someone does not personally believe in anything does not mean that they should bully others who have seen things into believing that they didn't.
this kind of thread could go on forever and there may be an equal number of people who saw things and those who don't believe in them.
all it does is breed intolerance.

It's true for me.
It's not my job to convince you or anyone else. I don't expect anybody to take my word for it. I don't have evidence except what I saw and heard.
But I'm OK with that.
I would gladly prove it to you if I could.

FYI,
I have personally seen one and I wasn't asleep. I was about 13 years old and it was humanoid looking with no features. Completely black figure.

redvip,
It is precisely this kind of response which reduces an intelligent thread to a childish one.

Cofty,
You will have to ask yourself if everybody in these accounts is wrong because you want them to be wrong.
Or, you might consider they could be right, but it was their subjective experience, witnessed by others, that makes them right.
The problem with doubters in anything supernatural, is that they refuse to consider the possibility that something bigger than themselves might actually exist and they would rather say everyone else is wrong than consider the possibility that there are things that can't be explained away by sleepwalking and meds.
