5 very disturbing POSSESSION cases

We call "possession" the feeling or certainty that a body has been occupied by an evil spirit or demon and that it can only be expelled through religious or shamanic techniques, such as exorcism.

In Western culture, and especially in the twentieth century, the issue of possessions has caused a sustained interest that is noted for the number of novels and films dedicated to the subject, from classics such as The Exorcist to more recent movies like The Rite or Deliver us from evil .Some of these movies have been based on cases of real possession, described in other articles of Mysterious , but in this we want to tell you about 5 less known cases, although equally disturbing.

5 very disturbing POSSESSION cases

1.One of the most famous cases of possession and exorcism in England it was George Lukins , which occurred in 1778 in the county of Somerset.Lukins said he was possessed by 7 demons Trong> and those who knew him witnessed his extremely violent behavior and some strange abilities, such as reciting prayers and religious hymns, such as Te Deum , in an inverted form.

Lukins was first taken to a hospital, where they had to take him because of his danger, and finally he was exorcised by seven Anglican priests .At the time this case woke up a strong polemic and there were those who accused Lukins of having simulated possession.

2. Clara Germana Cele was a student of the Christian mission of San Miguel, in Natal, South Africa.She was only 16 years old in 1906, when she began to manifest strange powers, such as reading the minds of her companions and levitating.

They say that he gave some bestial howls and that the nuns asked for help from two priests after being diagnosed as an innkeeper, and that they proceeded to exorcise it.The exorcism lasted two days , in which one of the priests almost lost his life when Clara tried to strangle him with her stole; 170 people saw her levitate and finally the evil spirits were expelled from her body and the young girl saved.

3.Another notable case of possession was that of Anne Ecklund , in Earling, Iowa, in 1912, Anne was 14 years old when she began to show signs of being possessed: the girl went from being a devout Catholic to an obscene person, of word and deed, and who could no longer enter her church .Apparently this was due to the influence of his father and his aunt, witchcraft practitioners, who reversed at least two exorcisms performed in Anne and had a successful outcome.

Sixteen years later, in In 1928, Anne again asked the church for help and was taken to a convent where he was subjected to a 23-day exorcism in which I speak in foreign languages, revealed secrets of the nuns and even levito.Finally, after three complete rituals of exorcism she was released from the demons that had tormented her since adolescence.

4.The last exorcism performed by the Anglican church It was in 1974, and he did it in the person of Michael Taylor , a normal man from Ossett, Yorkshire, married and habitual assistant of the community church, until one day he began to insult a woman in full cult, to speak in “tongues” and to be violent to a point where she must be contained by several men.Taylor was subjected to an exorcism that allegedly expelled from her body 40 demons , although apparently There were three left, which would explain that shortly after the expulsion ritual he savagely murdered his wife and dog.

The Anglican church did not authorize a new ritual, and Taylor was admitted to a psychiatric clinic for several years.He would later be accused of sexual assault and He would again show signs of dementia, which disappeared suspiciously when the charges were dropped.

5.In the summer of 1976, New York was marked for history by a series of murders committed by the same person, known as the “ Son of Sam ”and“ the 44-caliber killer, ”who was finally arrested and identified as David Berkowitz .Berkowitz confessed to killing 6 people and injuring 7 others, and although he did not claim to act under the demon control said that his neighbor's dog if he was possessed and was the one who ordered him to commit the murders .This information-fortunately for the dog-was not considered relevant and the "Son of Sam" in 1978 he received 6 life sentences.

There were suspicions that he had not acted alone, and not precisely supported by the devil, and that what was related to the dog was an attempt to appear crazy to avoid jail.

These cases demonstrate the profound influence that religion has in our lives.In fact, there are very rare (if not nonexistent) cases in which an atheist has been possessed by some spirit, bad or good.

Apparently, if you believe in demons you will have more possibilities of being possessed by one.Read the case of Julia's possession, inexplicable for science.

Traits that define psychic children

Psychic children "My son Do you have an imaginary friend or are you really seeing ghosts? ”, For many children it is completely normal to see relatives who died or other spirits who are present.Some parents take these behaviors as the typical “ imaginary friend ”, which may also be an option, but if it persists it is important that they seek help.
