cross or crucifix has no inherent power. Such ideas are what the apostle Paul calls fables, of which type are mere superstiitions coming out of the dark ages. It is possible that some people were told this just so they might have some confidence they weren't being plagued by a ghost. There is absolutely no Biblical evidence that any inanimate object has any power, except for one special case in Acts where it states that God performed "special miracles" through Paul. It is only people full of the Holy Spirit who have power to drive out evil spirits, and this requires faith in God (not faith in objects). So then, demons flee from someone because that person is submitted to God, not because that person is wearing a cross.
