What Are Demons? Most people understand demons from a Christian perspective: ultimately, evil, horrible creatures who hurt people because they hate God (who loves humans more than them) after being cast out of Heaven. Once angels, now they are demons and follow Satan, head of the rebellion against God. Other religions worship demons, such as…
The Diabolical
What is your perception of Evil? Is it the devil, demons, aliens the supernatural? Is it people, disease, famine and despair? Is it witchcraft and curses? Gambling, violence, war and drugs?

Sleep Paralysis: Is It Paranormal?
Probably one of the most popular emails I receive involves the client being awakened for whatever reason, they’re not able to move or speak, they feel a weight on their chest, and they may feel a dark presence in the room. The client may even see things around the room like a ghost, spirit, demon,…
Krampus: The Holiday Devil
A Note To Parents: APS doesn’t condone using Krampus as a method of keeping your child’s behavior in check, but if the “Elf On the Shelf” isn’t cutting it, there’s other options.

Interviews Start Monday: The Beginnings of a Dream
Interviews are under way for our quest to have new members join APS. To bring back the nostalgia, the first time I (Alex) met with my dear friends, Tyler and Grace, and we decided to form a paranormal group. We met at Lestat’s Coffee Shop on Adams Avenue and that’s where I’m having interviews on…
