evilspirit

An evil spirit is a supernatural entity or force believed to cause harm or possess individuals. Concepts of evil spirits vary widely across different cultures, religions, and folklore. These entities are often depicted as malevolent beings that seek to influence or control humans, leading them to commit harmful acts or experience suffering. In many traditions, they are seen as fallen angels, demons, or the spirits of deceased individuals who were wicked in life.

Belief in evil spirits can be found in ancient mythologies and continues to be a part of some contemporary spiritual and religious systems. They are often associated with negative phenomena such as illness, misfortune, mental distress, and natural disasters. Exorcism rituals and various forms of spiritual cleansing are practiced in some cultures to ward off or expel these perceived entities. The interpretation and existence of evil spirits are matters of faith and belief, not scientifically proven phenomena. While some cultures attribute unexplained negative events to the influence of evil spirits, others offer psychological or naturalistic explanations.
