The problem is, my friend lives closer to Europe than to anything
else, and I don't want to dispute with him about what's right and
wrong in his believings. In addition, both "demon" and "daemon" are
translated to the same word in our language, that would make the task
of explaining the difference to him even less attractive to me.

BTW, it's not only a European superstition, as this story indicates:

many).
