Okay I'm not 100% which section this belongs in because although this topic is somewhat about Pain and Panic....it's more about Imps in general also. Just more info about their species.
This is what it says on Wiki about Imps:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imp
I thought this was kind of especially interesting:
"Imps were often portrayed as lonely little creatures always in search of human attention. They often used jokes and pranks as a means of attracting human friendship, which often backfired when people became tired or annoyed of the imp's endeavors, usually driving it away."
That makes me feel sad for them. ;_;
Although at the same time it's funny that it says that....because it sounds like some of the crazy unexplainable things that have happened to me before. Especially one which really stands out from a number of years ago that makes no logical sense(essentially flashing lights followed me all around the house - and would only do it in the room I was in at the time and would stop in any room I had just left....flashing lights normally aren't that weird, but these ones where literally following me, there was no other explaination....and what's weirder is that once I was so terrified that I ran into the bathroom and curled into a fetal position on the floor after the flashing lights followed me in there too.....but once I started to cry, it stopped.....which was even weirder and made me think it was even more likely that something was doing that to me, although I don't really know what it is and to this day it remains one of the strangest experiences I've ever had....although it's not the only one).
I'm not saying it was an imp.....just that it's funny how after reading Wiki about them, it sounds like something that fits in with them(pulling pranks/jokes....although not really meaning any true harm, since it stopped when I started to cry, and just wanting attention from a human). I have no way of actually knowing what it actually was though really.....but I do believe in demons and angels and spirits and such. It was certainly a strange experience none the less.
I am, for the most part, the only one in my family who ever experiences stuff like this though. So I'm not really sure how much other people believe me when I tell them about something like this. My dad did experience something once though....although again it did involve me. In that case it was when I was a child and I was in a bad state, in surgery for 9 hours....my dad was really really worried about me and he told me that he felt someone touch his shoulder, like the feeling of a hand on his shoulder, but that no one was there....although when his shoulder was touched, he was immediately filled with positive thoughts and all negativity was gone. Whatever touched him was not a person since no one was there, most likely not even a human spirit...a human spirit probably couldn't remove all negative feelings from him instantly(at least, I don't think human spirits possess that kind of power). My dad isn't even the kind of person who says stuff like this at all really, so it must have really happened.
