Am going to share you few of my experiences with bats

The first time i had an encounter with a Bat is around 2013 when i visited my parent and at that particular night and in the sitting room precisely around 20:34 we discovered something was flying and the rate at which the Bat was flying with speed made it difficult to kill but we eventually killed it and during this process of killing the Bat, my Mom was shouting Blood of Jesus but after killing it, we had to burn it even though i was matured during this period but that experience made me believe Bat was diabolical though i don’t know if I was wrong or right.
Fast forward to 2016, when i moved into a new apartment and on that particular day, i was home throughout and never left my window nor door open and to my surprise at night, i came out from my bedroom around 11pm to get something in the sitting and i discovered a bat flying and the worst part was that i stay alone and i became so scared that i had to run back to my bedroom, i put on the light and made sure i locked the door, i could not kill that bat on that particular day because i was so scared.
After the next few days i was still baffled on how the bat managed to enter the house and how it disappeared again because i did not see the bat the next morning after the previous night incident but few days later, i saw the bat again in my sitting room but this time around i made sure i killed it and threw it over the fence of my compound, my assumption after killing the bat was that it was the bat i saw the previous nights ago but to my surprise i saw another bat few days later But this time around i had to check if there was any holes, torn net, unclosed windows or anything that could allow the bat enter inside the house but unfortunately i found none.
Some days later, i was sitting at the front of the iron gate to my apartment at night and to my surprise i saw nothing less than 7-8 bats flying and trying to enter a small hole on the roof of the house but since then i ignored them though i never set my eyes on them again since my last encounter with them in my apartment though i have moved out of the house.
Not until last month, a female friend of mine told me she saw a bat in her sitting room and she had to call her neighbors’ on the phone before they helped her killing it and she had to be praying and praying but i calmed her down that the bat came into her house through a hole or opening due to their bright sight at night.
Fast forward to last night, i visited a friend and around middle of the night i overheard some people shouting and praying and there prayer could not make me sleep but due to their conversation i discovered they were trying to kill a bat that was flying in their sitting room and when they eventually killed it was prayer after prayer.

Following this experiences, my fellow nairalanders are bats diabolical?

I made some few researches this morning and these are my findings

Surprising Facts about Bats

1. Bats are usually divided into two suborders: Megachiroptera (large Old World fruit bats) and Microchiroptera (small bats found worldwide)
2. No other mammal can fly like a bat can
3. There Are More Than 1,200 Species of Bats
4. There are three different blood-drinking vampire bats.
5. Only the smaller species of bats use echolocation as their main means of orienting themselves. Bigger bats can see well than humans. Sight is a blessing and a curse,
However, because sight can override echolocation signals. For instance, a bat may fly into a window because it sees light outside, even if echolocation tells it the surface is solid.
(Note the point No 5 which says bats can fly into a window even if the echolocation is telling it that the surface is hard which the power of their sight is)
Bats are gifted with the ability to use echolocation. It’s radar for bats, sort of a built in GPS system. Bats bounce sounds off their surroundings, and this allows them to fly in completely dark conditions. It also allows them to hunt at night, because echolocation comes in very handy in locating and identifying prey in the dark.
Bats are both the only mammals that can fly and the only one that can feed on blood. Due to the latter fact, bats are often misunderstood and feared. However, out of a thousand of different species of bats, only three of them are classified as vampire bats
“Bats, like the cat and the owl, are creatures of the night and so are held in high regard by those who practise witchcraft. Their formulas call for the use of bats’ blood, bats’ wings, eyes, heart etc.
In Christian terms, the bat is viewed as "the bird of the devil"

So what are your takes on the issue of Bats

Same thing just happened to me tonight and after killing it and praying, I decided to go online and do some research before morning and I stumbled upon this thread. I was expecting a lot of conversation here but it's funny no reply yet since last year.
I'll do my research and give feedback here.

Bats are not diabolical, neither are owls, cats, snakes or any other creatures.

I don't think this can be true because bats are ordinary animals that have nothing to do with the otherworld, especially the demonic one. When I saw the bats ' nest in our old barn, I didn't find anything mystical about them. I just called in the bat trapping specialists from https://tampa.aaacwildliferemoval.com/bat-removal It was then that I realized that they are not dangerous, they are ordinary animals that, like everyone else, need shelter and food. Unfortunately, this is not allowed everywhere, people want to live in peace, without the intervention of anyone else. It is with such situations that specialists cope

I had a similar experience too, I was in the kitchen at night then I saw a bat at the kitchen window and base on the kind of dude I am that likes to care for animals cos I hate killing some animals but I hates snake though. So I had to check this by out why it can’t fly anymore and saw it arm around the wings broken so I had to keep it by covering it up with a tin and place a stone on it. The next morning bro the stone wasn’t moved or shakes from the Tin and the bat wasn’t there!
