This world is truly screwed up -- there’s no denying that.
War, violence, disease, famine, global warming, snakes, pineapple on pizza.
But let’s enter a hypothetical realm for a moment -- and say that we weren’t the
cause of all these problems -- but instead a demon was.
Many demons stir up trouble on earth for their own amusement -- others so they can lur the
sheep away from the herd, leading them down to the depths of the underworld and into Satan’s
arms.
So today on Top 5 Scary Videos we’re going to be listing off the Top 5 Scary Demons From
Mythology.
Before we begin though be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be
responding to a few of your comments.
Let’s jump in.
5 Abyzou From Jewish mythology we have Abyzou -- also
known as Abizou, Obizu, Obizuth, Obyzouth, and Byzou.
This demon is infertile -- and -- well -- pretty pissed off about that.
Her soul purpose is to seek out pregnant women -- possess them -- causing miscarriages and
stillbirths -- purely out of bitterness and jealousy due to not being able to bare a child.
She’s quite the asshole -- even worse -- she’s described as having scale and snake-like qualities.
No thank you.
4 Vapula In Christianity, Vapual is the duke of hell
and a high commander of various legions of demons.
He is an incredibly intelligent demon and well-versed in philosophy, so if you find
yourself suddenly struck with unexplainable knowledge -- you may just be possessed by
this little devil.
His favourite pastime is paranoia.
That’s right -- he will turn loved one against loved one in order to watch humanity burn
around him and draw the sinful into the depths of the underworld.
3 Jikininki This demon appears in Japanese Buddhist mythology
and is known as Jikininki.
It comes from the spirits of those who are, I quote, “greedy, selfish, and ungodly”.
Jikininki are cursed to spend eternity feeding on the flesh of human corpses.
Sounds fun.
Now -- the thing that makes these creatures truly terrifying are that they are just downright
miserable and will stop at nothing to take innocent people down with them.
In order to do that they make a person’s like a complete and utter living hell -- so
that they don’t have to suffer alone.
Aww -- it’s kinda heartbreaking, isn’t it.
2 Pazuzu Pazuzu appears in ancient Babylonian and Assyrian
mythology, and is described as the beast.
He is the king of wind demons and the bringer of storms, droughts, and famine.
Now -- many of you may recognize his name -- yup -- that’s right -- this dude possessed
poor Linda Blair in The Exorcist after she summoned him via a Ouija Board.
Bad girl.
Not only is he known to bring famine upon unfortunate souls -- but he is also the bringer
of disease and pestilence.
Yep -- this dude is just bad news, plain and simple.
However -- he does have one upside -- which leads us into our next number.
1 Lamashtu Sumerian and Mesopotamian mythology describes
a demoness named Lamashtu.
She is a demon who torments women throughout their pregnancies -- and when they give birth
-- steals the babies so she can chew their bones and drink their blood.
Not only does she kill babies but she is also the destroyer of crops and has a passion for
contaminating water and wreaking havoc whenever possible.
Forewarning -- don’t summon this demoness.
Those possessed by this entity will suffer horrific nightmares and sleep disturbances
and may develop a grave illness that will ultimately kill you.
Now her appearance is what make this demon truly terrifying.
She is depicted as having a hairy body, the head of a lioness, donkey teeth and ears,
and bird feet, complete with talons.
Lovely.
It’s even stated that this demon is so terrifying that pregnant women will often summon our
previous number in hopes of protection -- not that he does that -- he just hates Lamashtu
so much that he would likely distract her from destroying you.
Well there we have it!
Did these demon scare you?
Were there any that we missed?
Leave us all your thoughts and feelings in the comments down below and perhaps we can
do a part 2.
Before I go I just want to respond to a few comments from one of our last videos.
Dan Clouse said “Lucy is like a foul mouthed Thelma.
She’s awesome.
May I get a shout out please?”
-- You certainly can -- and thank you -- a lot of you have compared me to Thelma from
Scooby Doo -- thanks to one particular sweater I own.
You know the one.
I would also accept the compliment based on intelligence.
Freeland256 said “Hey Lucy, you do a lot of really creepy video, was wondering what
scares you the most?
Thanks keem em coming?”
-- Well, where to begin really?
What scares me?
Space -- the ocean -- essentially anything so vast my mind can’t comprehend it.
Whales.
Black holes.
Spiders.
Snakes.
Confined spaces.
Open spaces.
Flying.
You name it..I’m probably a little afraid of it.
Essentially you should lock me up in some sort of padded room.
And lastly, Snaggletooth 75 said, “Top 5 Scary Videos I've been a subscriber to your
YouTube channel for about a year now.
I really enjoy watching your videos.
I have 2 chronic lower back pain conditions, Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Degenerative Disc
Disease and Osteoarthritis in both of my knees and in my hips.
I can't sleep most nights because of my chronic pain so I binge watch your videos.
Binge watching your videos helps me get through the sleepless nights and helps me forget about
my pain.
Thank you for making your videos, I really appreciate it.”
