As Ellie's abilities to discern negative entities developed, she started to recognize images often depicted in religious books illustrated with images of  'hell' as the underworld - demons etc. These depictions closely resemble what Ellie sees in her practice around clients with this issue who she works with. When a client with a possession issue comes for help, Ellie can see beings such as demons surrounding them. They sometimes appear as unattractive figures—distorted and non-human.

 

Demons are negative entities in the etheric world. They are low on the evolutionary scale and appear evil. They can communicate with and manipulate the people they prey on. Ellie has witnessed their destructive influence on her clients' lives. They tend to be on the lower planes and possess humans. Once they are discovered, however,  they realize they are going to have to move on. Their preference is to go back to the underworld. Many cultures depict demons as malicious entities living in the underworld. 

 

They can take on the forms of the spirits of ancestors, phenomena—or natural elements like animals. This is how they appear to Ellie when she is working with clients who have demon possessions.
