Are Poltergeists Demons?

If you are of a religious nature you may attribute all things good to angelic and all things bad to diabolical. Poltergeist activity is generally more bad then good, so if you are looking at it from a religious stance, you might say they are demons. If you are looking at it specifically in a scientific stance there is no proof of demon existence so you would not classify them as demons. It all depends on what you believe. Some researchers believe that there are demons and poltergeists. One being strictly from Satan and being a lot more powerful then a poltergeist.

Often a "technical" difference between demonic (or inhuman) presences and poltergeist presences are the amount of energy they can produce, and thereby the amount of effects they can produce. If small things are happening, such as doors opening, rapping noises, or small objects moving, then it is often classified as poltergeist in nature. If it is more active, and larger things (such as chairs or beds) are moving, then it may be considered demonic or inhuman in nature.
