Omniscient, Why do you suggest a minimum of one demonology book? I am the kind of person who is in constant connection with the other side. I try not to focus on this stuff because I find it attacts the wrong kind of attention, in the spirit world. Yet despite my inclination to stay away. Bad spirits plague me. I'm am hesitant to call them demons for all the crazy connatations that implies. Though I don't want to rule that out.

So how does one tell a demon from a ghost? What steps towards protection should I take? Ex. Does a Cross and Jesus's name work as well in real life as in movies. Lol show of ignorance on the subject.

Demons Have been around for alot longer than other spirits they take on forms , Where as a new spirit might not know its even a spirit, A demon knows what it is, it feeds off negitive energy

First of all, lest we forget, demons are first of all angels that chose the wrong side to go with when there was this minor conflict in Heaven. I'll not insult your intelligence by going into it, as I am sure one can figure out where to get plenty of reading material on it and the after-shocks of it and how it effects mankind to this day. Thay are not dumb and still have all the angelic abilities they had before they got kicked out of heaven. as for being recognized, they can be if they want to be, if not, nothing is on the market that will allow one to do so and if someone tries to say "yes there is", they are "blowing smoke". and need to read up on "truthfulness in advertising". You might get lucky using various types of "magic" but we are talking advanced "stuff", nothing you'll find in your local library. maybe the Library of congress but I'd try London, paris, Rome would probably be youur best bet,As from a ghost, there is no way to mistake the two. A "ghost" is and always be a "ghost", it can't chnage into a "demon", a cat, a car, the president or anything but a ghost. enough said. demons can chnage into anything, anytime, even angels.
