Ryan's Demon Stalker
As of January 3, 2008, Ryan Buell claims the demonic entity is no longer following him. Another source of controversy is the fact that throughout the series, the cast members have claimed the name of the demon is Belial while in Hebrew Belial in fact means "worthless". The word has appeared in works of fiction, however, as a proper name as in John Milton's Paradise Lost. Furthermore, the cast members had consistently mispronounced the word. Some question whether a demon would mispronounce his own name, especially if the name is a syntactic derivation and not a name at all.
In a Q&A section of the Penn State Paranormal Research Society's forums, he responded to a question on the topic by stating, "I haven't been troubled by any bunnies (the PRS calls demons "bunnies") as of late. There came a point in my life where I let go of some of that baggage. When it comes to that whole side, there's a back story that involves my group dealing with a case three years ago. I kind of reached a resolution with that. Coincidentally, the bunny tried to make another cameo appearance when we were filming the final investigation of the season, but we just told it to go to you-know-where. I hope it makes the cut!".

Famous quotes containing the word demon:
“She had to lean away.
She dared not stir a foot,
Lest movement should provoke
The demon of pursuit
That slumbers in a brute.”
