"Evil spirits" are often described as supernatural beings that are believed to cause harm or misfortune to individuals or communities. Many cultures and religions, such as Christianity, Hinduism, and African traditional religions, have their own interpretations of these entities. They are typically associated with negative emotions, illness, or disturbances in the natural order. These spirits are often depicted in folklore and mythology as malevolent forces that can possess individuals or influence their actions. Various rituals and practices, such as exorcisms or offerings, are commonly employed to ward off or appease these spirits, reflecting humanity's desire to protect itself from perceived threats in the spiritual realm.
