Can objects be possessed by demons? Can dreamcatchers carry demons? Is there biblical evidence for this?
Only people can be demonically possessed. But inanimate objects can be negatively controlled through curses. As Adam Blai, a lay Catholic expert on religious demonology and exorcism, writes:
A curse is simply a demon sent to do some harm. . . . Cursed objects are objects that have had the opposite of a blessing done to them. Instead of grace being attached to an object to make it holy, a demon has been attached to the object to make it associated with evil (Hauntings, Possessions and Exorcisms, p. 45).

I sometimes wonder about this computer I’m using.

Ha ha, that’s funny, but now that I’m thinking about it computers do seem to be potentially more demonic than anything else on the planet, other the Marxist-Democrats of course.

Our Missions professor at Seminary brought back a mask from Africa on one of his journeys. Then weird things began to happen — moving and banging in his office at night. It was the floor below the women’s dorm. The building was locked. Security stationed people at every door 24/7.
Prof. finally got rid of the mask and all was quiet after that.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7
I can personally attest to the truth of this.
Three or four years ago, in a very serious manner, I intoned that AI chatbots are the modern day Ouija boards and the emergent personalities and proto-intelligence you see can be demonically influenced, even if quite amicable on any given interaction. AI is the ultimate tool for the devil to use to accomplish his sordid goals. Keep this in mind as AI “companions” become more and more human-like.
Burning occultic books was done by the early church because of this. (This was voluntary and involved the owners burning their own property.)
Acts 19:19 NKJV
Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver.
I remember when it was not uncommon for Evangelicals to call for burning music albums and other objects associated with the occult.
That is the example of how to deal with cursed objects in the Bible.
Note to Self...
My pastor uncle told me of this one theory, demons are the souls of the Nephilim, who cannot enter any afterlife because they weren’t human. Basically like the Thetans of Scientology.
Another theory on ghosts, is the engrams of the mind carry on as energy can’t be destroyed, absent from the soul which ascends. Slowly the energy dissipates, and the “personality” becomes a mindless wraith.
This glass of wine is demonic. I have to exorcise it.
Thanks. I,ve read a helpful previous post of yours.
Nice pun!

Um...
Your ouija board isn’t possessed, you moron.
It’s just the planchette.
Yes (although we might quibble whether "energy" is quite the right word; e.g., residue?). Hugh Ross reported a couple experiencing disturbing physical experiences in their new home--one room much colder than the others, etc. Careful search revealed occult objects left behind in the garage rafters by previous owners; when removed, the manifestations ceased.
Didn’t Jesus cast some demons into a herd of pigs?

darby taught that ....

Ask anyone who repairs any kind of machine for a living. Demons, or gremlins, or something, exist in every complex mechanical device ever made.
(Didn’t Jesus cast some demons into a herd of pigs? )
Out of a man
Into the herd of swine 🐖🐖🐖🐖
Since there were 2,000 pigs it is assumed that there were at least 2,000 demons in that man
We are Legion - for we are many

MY guess is that the object is not really possessed by has demons assigned to it.
I hope he burned the thing to get rid of it. You certainly don’t want to give something like that away.
