Can ghosts and demons scratch you or leave marks on your skin? You hear these scary phenomena on TV shows and in paranormal forums. But is there any truth to the claims? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is believed ghosts and demons can scratch or leave marks on your skin. There is no conclusive scientific evidence, though. Scratches can also be caused by natural causes like allergies, skin irritations, bumping into objects, etc. The most known type is the trinity mark, with three lines. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spirits or entities might lash out to make themselves known. In some cases, they want to scare you to weaken your guard. Let’s take a closer look at the phenomena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scratches and marks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Frustrated ghosts and demons might lash out and leave a scratch mark on your skin. The lines show up without any apparent physical reason. The marks are seldom profound; they are often situated on the skin’s surface. The scratches do not bleed much but might hurt quite a bit. It is important to remember, though, there is no conclusive proof of this phenomenon. In recent days there has been an uptick in occurrences in TV shows and pop culture overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three major groups of wounds can appear Scratches, bruises, and bite marks. Scratches seem to be the most common type of wound-induced by spirits or entities (Cal-Para Paranormal Research Organization\"Opens<\/a>). In this article, we take a closer look at scratches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been common in paranormal TV shows to feature these attacks. They are often referred to as “demonic” and evil on the spot. I want to stress that there is no proof of this being the case. As TV shows often want us to stay interested, the word “demonic” is used more frequently. If you look back through the years, there have never been as many demonic attacks captured on film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human spirits and scratches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Distressed or angry ghosts of human origin are also thought to cause scratch marks. The same goes for poltergeist activity. It is thought that poltergeist activity is driven by strong emotions or telekinetic abilities among the living. So all markings are not demonic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all this said, the best thing we can do when trying to understand the nature and cause of scratches and marks is to take a step back. We just don’t know why and what is causing the scratches and marks to appear with certainty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a possibility that the marks and scratches are made by human-origin sprits. The bottled-up frustration or anger might lead to this phenomenon. They might want our attention, and some might not even know they are dead. So when you hear about scratches and marks, leave your mind open to other causes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is thought that human spirits don’t possess the power to create scratches, but they can move objects and close doors. I rest my case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video below, a paranormal investigator is getting scratched by an entity or ghost. You can see the three lines running across his lower back. He describes the experience as a burning sensation more than a “clawing” one. He is uncertain if the entity or spirit wants to hurt him or make it known. If you wish to look at the actual scratching, start watching at the 15-minute mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
