'''Demonic''' refers to bizarre and disturbing behavior or situations possibly influenced by [[demon]]s, such as unexplained [[evil]] actions or emotionally charged [[anxiety]].  Demonic manifestations can occur in groups of people as well as isolated individuals, and can arise in what appears to be pure chance.  Even young children can occasionally initiate demonic deeds without any rational explanation.

It should be noted that some Christian denominations teach that a Christian cannot be actually demon-possessed but can be influenced by demonic activity if the person allows himself/herself to engage in certain actions (such as reading tarot cards).

Elements of chance or uncertainty, as found in [[gambling]] and games like football, seem to enable demonic influences to thrive.
