Beisac (which translates in Khmer as "demon" or "evil spirit") is a demon from demonology. Beisac's real name by the Cambodian leader was Saloth Sâr who became Pol Pot from 1975 to 1979 when he became responsible for the deaths of nearly 2 million people, about a quarter of Cambodia's population by the secretive Marxist-Leninist totalitarian organization as "Angkar". Following his death on 15 April 1998, Pol Pot’s physical form remains a hollow, comatose vessel. Because his consciousness is absent, other spirits attempt to hijack his body to bypass the veil and re-enter the physical world as the primary antagonist is the spirit of an "Evil Old Man"—a parasitic force seeking to possess entire bloodlines and human DNA, as a vengeful, bloodthirsty demon often depicted as a man-eater or a spirit of extreme evil. Many Cambodians including outsiders had described Pol Pot as a "demon king" or Beisach to explain the scale of his atrocities in Cambodia had applied to him in the wake of the Cambodian genocide. Because of his violent death in April 1998 and the unimaginable suffering he caused, he is considered by many locals to have been transformed into an immoral, powerful, and malevolent spirit that haunts his last hiding places in the jungle of Anlong Veng near the Thai border, a "master of the land" (or Arak), holding a supernatural influence over the territory. In the years following his death, strange cult-like activities surrounded his grave, where he was worshiped as a powerful, demonic, evil, spirit. The description of his transformation into a "post-mortem" entity often parallels the idea of a demon or evil spirit from Cambodia that cannot rest, a being that is both a victim of its own karma and a source of continued terror both inside and outside Cambodia to the world. The memory and folkloric of Pol Pot became part of a haunting, spiritual, and supernatural landscape where his actions are perceived as a form of lasting, demonic, and paranormal trauma after he was buried in the remote jungle area of Anlong Veng. The word Beisac (often transliterated as Peisach or Beisach), as part of Khmer folklore refers to a hungry ghost or a demonic entity. This entity use Pol Pot's demonic image to ransack belongings and terrorize victims through poltergeist activity during the night, this entity transforms into any predatory creatures to hunt both within Cambodia and globally (worldwide). According to demonology, which was not part of "The Lesser Key of Solomon", the demonic presence manifests in France, the UK, the USA, Vietnam, Canada or Australia. Foreigners outside these regions are at the highest risk of soul-possession by the demonic Pol Pot who seeks a powerful ancient jungle relic to solidify his power and complete his transformation into a permanent earthly terror. The only way to break the possession of Pol Pot and free the human "pawns" from his control is to recite the Words of Institution. This prayer acts as a spiritual seal to banish the Cambodian demon back to hell.

The intersection of real-world atrocities and fictional horror has created a vast ecosystem of media that explores the darkest depths of human history and mythology. Figures like Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory serve as the genetic blueprint for vampire lore, while Mary I (Bloody Mary) is immortalised in urban legends and supernatural horror. The Haitian dictator François Duvalier (Papa Doc) as a voodoo practitioner who turned the living population of Haiti into zombies with poison by the secret police, the Tonton Macoutes (VSN). Serial killers like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy. The English singer Ozzy Osbourne who is known for his "Prince of Darkness" persona, his work—including tracks like Mr. Crowley—is steeped in occultism and horror themes, while the other band groups such as Sisters of Mercy titled "Dominion" has a gothic imagery that aligns with the "darker side of reality" often explored in horror aesthetics, including Meat Loaf which titled of the song "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through," often utilized gothic and operatic horror elements. Authors like Stephen King and Clive Barker (creator of Hellraiser) have bridged the gap between literature and visual media.
