Demons
In religion, folklore, and mythology a demon (or daemon, dæmon, daimon from Greek: δαίμων [ðaïmon]) is a supernatural being that is generally described as a malevolent spirit.
In Christian terms demons are generally understood as either fallen angels, formerly of God, or the disembodied spirits and possibly the ghosts of the Nephilim of Genesis.
A demon is frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled.
The "good" demon in recent use is largely a literary device (e.g., Maxwell's demon), though references to good demons can be found in Hesiod and Shakespeare. In common language, to "demonize" a person means to characterize or portray them as evil, or as the source of evil.
