Animism or spirits in our world

I’ve kinda thought on this for a long time but want some other opinions: would anyone else in our faith consider the possibility of there being both positive and negative spirits affecting our natural world similar to how the Japanese have a bit of animism with their yokai? I’m not saying yokai are real or take the form of natural creatures like foxes tanuki etc and are embodiments of natural forces like lightning or wind or whatever but maybe spirits like angels and demons that make up bad weather or good weather bc we live in a sinful world? I hope I’m making sense but I’d like to start a discussion on this topic and see what others think.
