demonologist
Studies evil spirits
A demonologist studies demons—their nature, hierarchy, and methods of influence.
The term appears in religious contexts, where demonologists may assist with exorcisms or spiritual warfare, and in paranormal investigation, where they claim expertise in malevolent entities.
Horror fiction and film have popularized the figure: The demonologist examined the possessed child.
The field assumes demons exist, placing it outside mainstream scholarship.
