0:00
It has been said that many have been plagued by ancient demonic
0:06
forces, from Mesopotamia to more modern times.
0:13
These evil and terrifying entities are said to enter our
0:18
world and wreak havoc upon those who dwell within it.
0:23
These are the demonology archives.
0:27
My name is Cody and for years I have studied and investigated
0:32
the paranormal and part of my fascination and many others is
0:37
the existence of demons. This new miniseries aims to
0:42
explore the origins, symbols and stories surrounding particular
0:49
demons, just where they are said to come from, what they are and
0:54
who they are. So if demonology fascinates you,
0:59
I urge you to watch until the end because you may just learn
1:03
something that you didn't know before.
1:06
Real quick. I wanted to let you guys know
1:09
that I have brand new and limited edition merchandise that
1:13
is only available for the month of October.
1:16
Designs that were made in collaboration with a great
1:19
friend of the channel, Phobicon. Now I'll be in Scotland filming
1:24
from October the 10th until the 25th.
1:27
So all orders that come through, because I process all of them
1:31
myself, will essentially be pre-orders and will be shipped
1:35

2:03
So grab them while you can to support the channel.
2:06
It's some awesome merch and Rep yours truly today.
2:10
Thank you. Today, we will be deciphering
2:13
the strange and complex entity known as Zozo.
2:18
In our first episode, Zozo is allegedly a fallen Angel, one of
2:24
the original angels who sided with Lucifer and who were
2:28
banished from the heavens eons ago by God during the Great
2:33
Fall. Zozo, or at least under this
2:36
current name, is a relatively recent phenomena, only mostly
2:41
emerging in the mid to late 20th and now 21st centuries.
2:46
The name Zozo is attributed to the name Pazuzu, which is a
2:50
Mesopotamian demon which an ancient Mesopotamian religion.
2:56
Pazuzu is a personification of the southwestern wind and held
3:01
kingship over the Lilu wind demons.
3:05
Depending on who you ask or what sources you cite, Pazuzu is
3:10
either considered a good or white magic entity, or an evil
3:16
or black magic entity. Considered as both a destructive
3:20
and dangerous wind, but also as a repellent to other demons.
3:25
One who safeguards the home from their influence.
3:29
In particular, he protects pregnant women and mothers whom
3:33
he could defend from the machinations of the demoness
3:38
Lamasdu, his rival. He is invoked in ritual and
3:42
representations of him are used as defense charms.
3:47
It is known as firstly a demon of the home, a domestic spirit,
3:53
then secondly as the wandering wind demon traversing the
3:57
mountains seeking to destroy the innocent.
4:01
The main representation of the white magic belief is the well
4:05
documented use of Pezuzu in Mesopotamia.
4:09
His inhuman and grotesque form was used to frighten away
4:13
unwanted guests as well as prevent his when demon subjects
4:18
from entering the home and wreaking havoc, as well as
4:21
warding off rivals and disease. His role in ritual and magic is
4:27
documented on inscriptions on the backs of his statues or in
4:32
ritual texts, spells, incantations, and special
4:37
artifacts which were used to gain the favor and protection of
4:42
the demon. Such artifacts were often placed
4:45
in and around the home or worn on the person to achieve the
4:50
desired effect when favor was gained with the demon.
4:54
Amulets were typically given and worn by pregnant women to
4:58
protect their unborn from other evil forces or demonic spirits.
5:04
Large numbers of Pazuzu heads have been discovered, made from
5:08
a variety of materials, chiefly terracotta, but also bronze,
5:13
iron, gold, glass and bone. These heads often featured holes
5:20
or loops at the top, allowing them to be worn on necklaces.
5:25
Occasionally the heads would be attached to cylinder seals or
5:29
worn as brooches as well. Some of these heads have been
5:33
found in various graves. The current name of Zozo is
5:38
often attributed to the Romanized naming of the ancient
5:41
Mesopotamian demon Pezuzu. Zozo was named and believed to
5:46
have been the main demon that possessed Roland Doe or later
5:50
revealed to be a boy at that time named Ronald Edwin Hunkler
5:55
who was born June the 1st of 1935 and passed away May 10th of
6:02
2020. Ronald had accessed or opened a
6:06
door to the other side using a Ouija board, the most common
6:10
tool associated with conjuring this demon and many others which
6:15
we'll explore later on. The name Zozo was changed to
6:19
Pazuzu and along with the possession were written about in
6:23
a book called The Exorcist, which was inspired by the Ronald
6:28
Hunckler case by now famous author William Peter Blatty.
6:33
The book was later adapted to the infamous and also arguably
6:37
cursed film of The Exorcist which was released in 1973.
6:43
The name Zozo was also mentioned in the French Demonic
6:47
Encyclopedia as one of the demons who's responsible for
6:51
diabolical possession and corruption.
6:55
Within the book, it tells of a case dating back to 1816 where a
7:00
girl was possessed and Zozo, as well as several other demons are
7:05
mentioned to have been present, although with loose associations
7:09
with older deities. Zozo's notoriety, as previously
7:14
mentioned, is relatively recent. The first widely publicized
7:18
mention of Zozo, or the one that most people are aware of,
7:23
appeared in a 2009 online forum post by a man named Darren
7:28
Evans, who detailed him and his family's terrifying encounters
7:33
with the entity following Ouija board sessions, and that these
7:37
encounters persisted for years. Since then, numerous individuals
7:43
have reported similar experiences, claiming that Zozo
7:47
communicates through the board, often spelling out its name in a
7:52
repetitive and ominous manner. The etymology of the name Zozo
7:57
is unclear, with some suggesting that it might be a corrupted or
8:02
disguised form of other demonic names.
8:05
However, its consistent appearance in spirit board
8:09
sessions have cemented its identity as a distinct and
8:13
malevolent entity. Besides the name Zozo, it also
8:18
has appeared under other names such as Zoso, Zaza, Zuzu, Mama,
8:25
and Ibakus. Some calling cards of the
8:28
demons, so to speak, are when using the board.
8:33
The planchet is known to move on its own, sometimes in a rainbow
8:38
pattern, moving from side to side, spelling Zozo over and
8:44
over again. This is also known as the
8:47
rainbow effect. It has also been known to make a
8:50
Figure 8, creating an Infinity symbol.
8:54
With the more modern emergence of Zozo, some believe that its
8:58
power could be being strengthened through what's
9:01
known as an agrigor, or a collective group of thought form
9:05
created by occultists for certain purposes.
9:09
Although this seems unlikely because the entity does not
9:13
appear to serve any human desires other than to destroy
9:17
the person or people it comes into contact with if it's able
9:22
to, Agrigors are typically formed to bring control over a
9:27
deity for the person or group's intentions.
9:31
Perhaps instead of an agrigor, there is a cult worshipping
9:35
Zozo, strengthening its reach and power through thought form,
9:41
and with wider exposure the more powerful the entity becomes.
9:46
This is also known as forming a tulpa.
9:50
A tulpa is a being or thought form that is created through
9:54
intense concentration and spiritual practice, typically
9:59
emerging in the form of a human. Though the term is borrowed from
10:04
Tibetan Buddhism, the idea of a tulpa and modern paranormal lore
10:09
is slightly different from what is found in Tibetan traditions,
10:13
being added to modern lore after journalist John Keel mentioned
10:17
them in his 1975 book The Mothman Prophecies.
10:23
Reports often describe Zozo as malevolent and deceptive, using
10:28
the Ouija board to frighten, confuse, and manipulate those
10:33
attempting to communicate with spirits.
10:36
Those who have encountered the entity have been asked by it to
10:40
chant out or spell phrases or various words in Hebrew or
10:45
Latin, which has convinced many of the intelligence of the being
10:50
that they were speaking with. When encountering the demon, one
10:54
may find shadows appearing on the walls around you or the
10:59
surrounding environment, if not indoors, almost as if you're
11:04
seeing pass the veil to a Dark World that exists just beyond
11:09
your normal frame of vision. Many users report that their
11:13
sessions take a dark turn when Zoza becomes involved, often
11:18
leading to feelings of dread, anxiety, and even physical harm.
11:24
This connection has made Zoza was symbol of the potential
11:28
dangers of spirit communication and the unknown entities that
11:32
might be encountered through such practices.
11:36
The Ouija board, however, is not the only way that Zozo makes
11:40
itself known. It also shows itself through
11:43
other means such as sudden hypnosis, automatic writing
11:48
sessions, and electronic voice phenomena, otherwise known as an
11:54
EVP. When it comes through as an EVP,
11:58
it may do so. Masquerading is something
12:00
positive, like a deceased family member, loved one, or friend.
12:07
Typically mimicking the voices of the dead is one of its
12:10
specialities. The entity seems to love
12:14
watching his victims squirm with confusion and oftentimes seeming
12:18
to take pleasure when the gullible human believes it's
12:22
lies. The entity also appears to be
12:26
sadistic in nature and loves watching friends fall out over
12:30
the lies, typically revealing half truths or secrets to sow
12:35
discord. It or he is a master deceiver,
12:41
which is not surprising considering that the Devil or
12:45
Lucifer is claimed to be the father of all lies and Zozo
12:50
allegedly being one of the original demons who fell
12:54
alongside him. If you have truly made contact
12:57
with Zozo, do your best not to panic.
13:01
It feeds off of fear. If the contact is made during a
13:05
Ouija board session, close out the session by saying goodbye.
13:11
Do not use the same board again and buddy the old board with
13:16
holy water. Post session do not speak his
13:20
name. Then sage the area or have it
13:23
blessed, especially if it is your home, and use sage to
13:29
cleanse yourself. To avoid Zozo, set boundaries
13:34
for the ghosts or any spirits before you start a Ouija board
13:37
session. Also, don't taunt him or try to
13:42
summon him. Zozo can possess you or make you
13:46
go crazy, causing a potential mental breakdown.
13:50
He can also make your nose bleed and he can cause bruises and
13:55
cuts. A more recent story I found
13:59
online was of a young lady named April.
14:02
She had decided to play with a Ouija board with some friends
14:05
one night after moving in with her sister.
14:08
She had dealt with Ouija boards before but had no negative
14:12
impact. Previously when the group sat
14:15
down and put their fingers on the planned shed they didn't
14:18
open the session. By saying that they mean no
14:21
disrespect and letting them know that they had non believers in
14:25
the group. They asked if anyone was there
14:29
and the Blanchette moved to yes. Then when they asked who it was
14:35
the Blanchette spelled out Zozo. They should have ended this
14:40
session there but instead they asked what the spirit wanted and
14:45
it replied her. The group asked what do you mean
14:50
who is her. Zozo then said I want her and
14:55
then spelled the name April. The spirit then kept spelling
15:00
out Zozo and I want her April, who out of fear lashed out at
15:06
the board. The board then quickly began to
15:08
spell out death after being told not to provoke the spirit
15:12
further by the rest of the group who were visibly freaked out.
15:17
They would continue to ask questions until the planchette
15:21
started to feel hot underneath their fingers.
15:24
The planchette then started to spell out Mama, one of the
15:29
friends who was too scared refused to play anymore.
15:33
Then the mood changed. April no longer felt like
15:38
herself. She began to laugh and cry
15:41
uncontrollably, and she then began to lash out at everyone
15:45
present as the board continued to spell out the name of the
15:50
demon, with those who were more experienced rushing to say
15:54
goodbye. After doing so, April somehow
15:58
would return back to her old self, but had no memory of what
16:03
had transpired while she was allegedly under the entity's
16:07
control. Other than Darren Evans and
16:11
Roland Doe's stories, other possible encounters other than
16:15
those self reported on the Internet have been the Doris
16:19
Bither case in Los Angeles in 1972 when after using a Ouija
16:25
board, she encountered a dark entity that then plagued her and
16:30
her family. Another case I have covered,
16:33
which I'll leave a link to in the description below.
16:37
The infamous Enfield Poltergeist case which took place in
16:41
Enfield, England where a family was plagued by his sinister and
16:47
malevolent force which occurred during the years of 1977 to
16:53
1979. In 2012 in Tombstone, Nevada, a
16:59
small group of soldiers were off duty and decided to mess around
17:03
with a Ouija board just for fun. They allegedly made contact with
17:08
a spirit who told them that he had died in Tombstone and on the
17:13
way back the man who was driving the vehicle allegedly got
17:17
possessed and almost killed the others in a deliberate car crash
17:23
before the demon left him. Following regaining
17:27
consciousness, the man had no memory of what he had done.
17:32
I tell Darren Evans story along with some additional information
17:37
diving into Zozo on the untold story of the demonic Zozo House
17:42
of Oklahoma linked here on screen.
17:45
If you would like to hear the terrifying and harrowing story
17:49
of Darren and his family dealing with this entity.
17:53
Something that I haven't said publicly until now is that I
17:57
didn't speak with Darren directly, but rather with a
18:01
verified close friend of his who went by the name of Butch.
18:05
He told me that Darren won't even speak the demon's name for
18:10
fear of its return, that the experiences were very real and
18:15
that he had dealt with them for years, that they nearly
18:18
destroyed him for whatever reason.
18:22
Whether it's the result of an agrigor making tulpas,
18:26
collective strengthening through a cult, or just raised public
18:30
consciousness, the demon known as Zozo has become a popular
18:35
part of modern paranormal culture, appearing in numerous
18:40
books, movies, videos, and stories via Internet forums and
18:47
some by yours truly. It certainly shows no signs of
18:51
slowing down in popularity anytime soon.
18:55
But make no mistake, Zozo is known for being dangerous and
19:00
should not be sought out or summoned.
19:04
The occult is not a joke and should not be practiced by the
19:08
majority of people in my opinion.
19:10
So please be safe and be smart when dealing with the
19:14
paranormal, especially the darker side of things.
19:18
Or you may just encounter Zozo or another entity from the
19:23
darkest of realms, those of which we will continue to
19:28
uncover here on the Demonology Archives.
