  • Metatron has done a video on this ( https://youtu.be/-Mx6TtkgugU?si=7SS7s9JpMupmmpKl ). I don’t think he’s religious, but he knows his stuff when it comes to classical history. I haven’t watched this video in a while, but I think it’s more about the demons in the Bible that are close to modern pop culture demons (horns, big bat wings, etc), rather than the sorts of demons that actually possess people.

    If you’re asking what Christians think demonic possession is like today, it’s far more subtle than it is in the Bible. The goal of any demon is to lead people away from God, so openly showing themselves to a secular culture that believes they’re fake is unhelpful. All of the stories I’ve heard of demonic activity have been where three demons imitate actual medical conditions like asthma, migranes, or epilepsy. The way to tell between purely medical conditions and demonic activity is with prayer and God helping you discern what it is. The only tell apart from this would be doctors doing everything they can and the problem only getting worse.

    If you want to know more about demons, I recommend the Screwtape letters by C.S. Lewis.
