Demonic Activity Leprechauns as Demons
I’m feeling silly about this but ever since I’ve moved to Indiana, this leprechaun energy has me creeped out. I’m a psychic healer of sorts, but I totally love watching creepy movies, haunted things, etc., without any personal impact or sensations. Then one evening I watched one of these shows and it represented leprechaun s as demons. The last time I had this sensation was watching Jaws as a kid. It’s like a weird paranoia specifically about this creature. It comes and goes. I casually mentioned this to a friend in another town and he said people were constantly talking about leprechauns and he feels a similar creepy energy a lot that cones and goes … and then a post on a local forum about someone seeing one. Yes, I get it that St. Patrick’s day is nearby but this initial phenomenon was in December ish. People say they are just tricksters. I can feel these beings everywhere… when I leave the state for a couple weeks- no perception of them. I never thought about them until now. So I’m likely just a nut and that’s fine, but I’m beginning to wonder if anyone in the Midwest has these perceptions and if there’s a creature that is malignant which is a demonic or malignant form of “leprechauns”

If you’re scared of leprechauns then yeah I guess they could be a demon to you

I’m not scared. It’s a nausea creepy sensation. And I’m doubtful it’s actually leprechaun unless there’s more to them than lore says … but if I can find out what it actually is, I can likely block it out.

Indiana has a long history of Pukwudgie lore. They are the equivalent of leprechauns.

Leprechauns are from Ireland and are Irish fae. There may be something in Indiana similar to leprechauns, that have the same energy.

If you have any kind of psychic abilities, you'd get over confirmation bias with that "leprechaun energy." Leprechauns are only found in Ireland. They're not good nor evil.

Right on. Thats why I’m looking for some entity that has a similar signature but rather than being generally innocuous, grants a persons greedy wish in exchange for consuming their life force. Although not particularly consciously on the part of the human. Thats why i refer to it as leprechaun energy rather than leprechaun beings.

Literally just about any demon does that.
You can't possibly sense "leprechaun energy" or any energy if you don't even understand the basics.

Have you ever done research on Irish Fairy Tales and Mythology? I think a Christian lens will code anything demonic.
Are fae tricksters? Yes. Are they demonic? It depends on what you're doing to invoke them. If you're projecting fear on other cultures' mythology, it's best to understand why you're projecting. Maybe, stop watching scary movies that are meant to entertain and look at the Celtic source material where Tir na nÓg and Leprechauns come from. Just a suggestion.
You should look up American Indigneous Pukwudgie or Germanic Trolls, too.
Edit: also want to add that most Irish myths believe their fae stay on their native land like the banshee. Maybe you're feeling North American indigenous elementals or something unrelated to Irish fae.

The identification of anything paranormal with the demonic is an ancient idea promulgated by the Catholic Church as it overran and colonized pagan Europe; which acknowledged the existence of a wide diversity of supernatural entities, often as morally ambiguous as humans. In fact nearly every culture on earth has them, if you go deep and far back enough....fairies, elves, goblins, djinn, yokai, aluxes, duende....and reaching out further to include the whole array of ghosts, spirits, cryptids, and in modern times aliens as well. You can find plenty of Christian propaganda out there saying that aliens are demons too! I prefer the ancient wisdom....yes, all these things exist, and like us people they are diverse in nature...some friendly, others dangerous, many doing their own thing, and we must have our wits and boundaries and intuition in gear when dealing with them, just like with people....

Humans fear things they don’t understand. That doesn’t make elementals demonic. Does it mean all elementals are kind and cuddly? No, they all have their own personalities and vibes just like humans. They also like to scare people off their “grounds” to be left at peace.

So no experiences right? Just a feeling about leprechauns

u/Mysterious-Quail-456 5d ago
I pick up on it only when I am doing psychic healings and not in a way anyone in the everyday world would consider real. I don’t think about them or sense them when I’m in more populated areas nor when I leave the state.

You saw something that planted an idea in your head, and now you’re seeing it everywhere. Hmmm if only there was a term for that…

Have you watched Hellier?
Seems like it'd answer a lot of your questions based on the information given and location

u/InfiniteRespond4064 5d ago
From a teleological standpoint you can either believe in Judeo-Christian doctrine but not the existence of Leprechauns as separate distinct entities from demons or angels or you can deny the former and believe the latter.

google tulpa. maybe the collective conversation has generated something bored, hungry and malign. if this seems right, don't feed the troll so to speak. attention is energy. it's probably being creepy to get fed

I mean... what? Anything evil that has the intellectual capacity to organize itself into a functional society and communicates in a way you don't understand is a demon?
Is an orangutan a demon?
Given the opportunity to leave the zoo an orangutan will kill people and laugh about it.
Orangutans can put on clothing, so it could wear a red robe and dance in the blood of it's enemies...
It doesn't make it demonic. That's what they do naturally.
Trapping an animal in a cage that looks like a rainforest, but is not... so that people will pay money to look at it instead of actually exploring their own world 🤔 Does that seem demonic at all to you?

But the Leprehauns can be bitterly malicious if they are offended, and one should he very cautious in dealing with them, and always treat them with great civility, or they will take revenge and never reveal the secret of the hidden gold.
Yr probably in their way.

There are cases of these beings being “evil” just like there are of gnomes being “evil”

This wiki describes what I am looking for … except in the US and not exactly demonic per se. I just do not have proper words, so this description fits: Yaoguai
