unclean spirits
Possessing supernatural beings
Unclean spirits are demons or evil supernatural entities in religious contexts, particularly biblical.
The phrase appears throughout the New Testament, where Jesus casts out unclean spirits from the possessed: He gave them authority over unclean spirits.
The term emphasizes spiritual impurity and corruption rather than physical dirtiness.
In contemporary use, it remains largely confined to religious discourse and horror fiction.
