America's Abnormal Culture

American culture has a history of being obsessed with the occult and its association with spiritual phenomenon, ghostly appearances, and demonic ideals. Many allusions to ghost, vampires, werewolves, demons, the devil, and other satanic things have been made from movies, books, poems, short stories, but no one anyone has really had true evidence to prove that these figures actually exist.

The popular 2013 movie The Conjuring is a powerful allusion to the occult in America’s culture. The Conjuring, suggesting a basis on a true story, explains how demons possess a doll in order to get close enough to a family to eventually mass murder them. This American horror movie shows evidence of how America’s culture is an audience possessing enough curiosity to still be interested in entertainment that explains how satanic figures might exist and the danger of running into them, but what are the consequences if they actually exist?

Another source of horror broadcasted by national television is the popular show Ghost Hunters. Ghost Hunters is a show where the group called the ghost hunters go out to find paranormal phenomena, in places where people claim to experience it, in order to find evidence and later prove if satanic monsters actually exist in that area. This is another example of how America’s culture is partially based off of interest in the afterlife where monsters and demons might actually exist, but what if they enter our world?

There is no wrong or right answer to prove it these things actually exist and America or any other place will never know. If these things do exist then what will America come to and will curiosity in this still continue to be broadcasted as a source of entertainment?
