demonic activity

Fiendish supernatural occurrences

Demonic activity refers to supposed supernatural events attributed to demons or evil spirits—unexplained noises, objects moving, feelings of malevolent presence.

The phrase belongs to religious and paranormal discourse: The priest was called to investigate reports of demonic activity.

Skeptics use it dismissively for phenomena others interpret supernaturally.
