Okay, a friend of mine I met not long ago says he used to be a wiccan. He's told me stories about levitating people and such, and given me a sort of background. One night, we went for a walk late at night when we were both sleeping over a friend's house. It was then that he told me that he could sense spirits, he called it a sort of "side effect" of being involved in wicca. We then proceeded along the walk, and this was really late, early morning-ish. He pointed out all sorts of things to me, and one time, on the way by a graveyard, he said he saw a demon, jumped five feet and scared the hell out of me, too.
I want to know, is this perception common in veteran wiccans, or is this kid taking me for a ride?

Last night, I was with three friends of mine. We were talking, and the chat turned to some scary subjects. All of a sudden, we all sensed something really bad, really close. It seemed like it was feeding off of our fears, the more we thought about its presence, the stronger it got. Everything I saw was tinted red. It felt like if it got strong enough, it could do something to us, not kill us, but something that seemed almost worse. I'm not so sure about this last bit, but the words "the red devil" came to me. We all grouped closer, turned on the TV, and started singing, and, after awhile, everything seemed alright.
Can anyone tell me anything about this?
