This book explores local cultural discourses and practices relating to manifestations and experiences of the demonic, the spectral and the uncanny, probing into their effects on people’s domestic and intimate spheres of life. The chapters examine the uncanny in a cross-cultural manner, involving empirically rich case studies from sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and Europe. They use an interdisciplinary and comparative approach to show how people are affected by their intimate interactions with spiritual beings. While several chapters focus on the tensions between public and private spheres that emerge in the context of spiritual encounters, others explore what kind of relationships between humans and demonic entities are imagined to exist and in what ways these imaginations can be interpreted as a commentary on people’s concerns and social realities. Offering a critical look at a form of spiritual experience that often lacks academic examination, this book will be of great use to scholars of Religious Studies who are interested in the occult and paranormal, as well as academics working in Anthropology, Sociology, African Studies, Latin American Studies, Gender Studies and Transcultural Psychology.

SHACKING UP WITH DEMONS is Lonnie Clinkscale's testimony of the fulfillment of a vision and instruction from the Lord. His true story illustrates how the "wiles", or methods, the devil uses can pull a man who is determined to live a life of Christian integrity off the path of faith in Christ and into the snares and traps of evil. Just as the vision warned, he was discouraged, deeply hurt by his family and church, tempted into sin and much more. Part One of SHACKING UP WITH DEMONS provides the reader with an awareness of how difficulties in life can open the door for demons or evil spirits to enter a person, even a believer, without his or her knowledge. Assistance in learning to identify these spirits is provided throughout the book. Part Two includes further teaching and the testimonies of others that assist the reader in the journey to deliverance through prayer and instruction. This book is a manual you won't want to lose. It will become a frequently used reference book. It is filled with information that will help victims of the enemy out of their bondage. Lonnie's experience shows how God is faithful to His promises, how He never takes His hand off His beloved.
