Welcome to <a href="https://www.southerndemonology.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Southern Demonology</a>, where we explore the darkest corners of the supernatural. Today, we dive into Demonology 501: Perfect Possession, the ultimate stage of demonic control. Father Malachai Martin outlines four stages of possession: entry, erroneous judgments, yielding of control, and finally, perfect possession. In this final stage, the victim is completely controlled by an evil spirit, showing no signs of possession and even acknowledging their guilt in crimes. Exorcism is nearly impossible. Perfect possession might evolve from regular possession or begin with the victim’s willing partnership with the demonic. It’s a terrifying erasure of the self, where the victim consents to be consumed by the Infernal Kingdom. Despite the scarcity of information, signs of perfect possession include societal rule-breaking and an eerie normalcy that only keen observers can detect. This stage represents a profound attack on humanity, echoing ancient conflicts between good and evil. Stay safe, and remember, the battle against the demonic is one we must understand to combat.

Theology of Hostage to the Devil

Ever wondered if that charming house you're about to move into has a hidden history? Like, has someone died there? Or worse, been murdered? In the U.S., you'd better be a detective to uncover this information. Yet in Japan, the story is vastly different. In this fascinating episode, JJ takes us on a personal journey through Japan's world of "jiko bukken" or stigmatized properties. After recently house-hunting in West Tokyo, JJ shares firsthand encounters with properties that come with more than just four walls and a roof: they come with history that might make your skin crawl. One beautifully renovated home caught JJ's wife's eye, until the real estate agent reluctantly disclosed that an elderly woman had diedalone on the first floor. Another property sent JJ literally running for the stairs after experiencing an unexplainable, chilling presence in the attic. The episode reveals how Japanese culture views death in the home very differently than Western culture does. There's a strong belief that places where people died violently or alone carry spiritual and karmic consequences for new inhabitants. JJ even shares a disturbing story from a real estate agent about a mother and daughter who mysteriously "wasted away" after moving into an apartment with no previously reported incidents. For those brave souls planning to house-hunt in Japan, JJ recommends checking "Oshima Teru" (<a href="https://www.oshimaland.co.jp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.oshimaland.co.jp</a>), a website that mapsreported incidents in properties across Japan, much to real estate agents' dismay!
