I have witnessed one myself so yes they are pretty real.
I have a female classmate who got possessed way back when I was in 7th grade. In the middle of class she just started laughing with a deep male voice and surprised everyone. She was also strong as fuck since it took a P.E. teacher, my math teacher and a janitor to restrain her long enough for the priest to come by. My school is a big private catholic school with a chapel inside so it didn't take long.
The exorcism itself was not that scary only a little violent with lots of squirming and swearing is what I was told. What is more interesting is what was happening to my possessed classmate.
While the demon was inside her, she was in a DREAM. She told my classmates that in her dream she was in a forest with giant trees as tall as skyscrapers.
There was a beautiful stallion that could speak and offered her a ride and she accepted. They went galloping around the forest and she felt tired. Everytime they went around she got more tired until she wanted to get off but the horse would not stop and started running faster. She got scared until a hand pushed her off and she woke up with my 2 teachers and a janitor holding her arms. The priest certainly did a good job with the exorcism. There were no floating chairs or 360 head rotations. Just a bunch of people who had no clue what was going on.
What I make of the story that she told us now that I am a years older is that the stallion she mentioned could have been a demon. The horse that asked her for a ride on his back could have been an invitation for the demon to possess her body while keeping her soul busy. She rode the horse around the forest and grew tired which might have been the demon slowly gaining complete dominion over her body. She also mentioned that the horse started running faster maybe an act of desperation as the demon realized that it was being exorcised. The hand that pushed her is an angel or god maybe that the priest called for during the rite to save the girl. She woke up in her body as soon as she was pushed off but this is just my guess.
I am not entirely sure but this is all I could make out of from what she told us. It could mean several other things but the possession of her body was true enough since I was there and I saw it happen before my math teacher told us to leave the room(I did not see how the priest exorcised her). |
