Possession is a very scary and I would have to believe, a very real thing in this world. But who is to blame for these possessions and in the bigger picture the devil. That's right, I can only blame God in these matters. For a couple of simple reasons. One God created Satan and gave him rule over this Earth, and if God loved us like his children and is all omnipotent, then he has the power to either 1) Protect us from these possession and keep us safe, or number 2) and the more majestic of the two, wipe the devil and his minions from existence.

That is the thing that confuses me the most with the whole war in heaven and God being all powerful. If there was a challenger to the thrown, couldn't he just wink him out of existence and just be done with it. No he lets him try to defeat him which we don't really know how close he really came to doing that, and then casts him out and puts him in an new place he made for him called hell and gave him the ability to come and trick us and influence us. Now I ask you what kind of God is that. He has power but it doesn't sound like he has too much power. He sounds more like a petty King that an omnipotent supreme being. Believe in me and I'll save you, not and you burn, but I still love you. Confusing isn't it.

what no videos of people floating in the air, doing crazy demon possessed stuff?

and to think, i almost thought we were gonna get to see some good evidence for once...its too bad really

i guess the demonic possesion thing is all a hoax afterall or something, i cant find any video evidence of it at all

the 2 videos in this thread are utter crapola tho, you gotta admit.

nothing magical or demonic in either of them

This person was obviously very mentally ill. It's a shame that christian religious nuts effectively killed her by not seeking the proper medical care that would have undoubtedly saved her life in the 1970s.

I volunteered for a year at my local hospital during school for extra credit and I witnessed many people suffering from things like paranoid delusional schizophrenia, which looked and sounded just like this poor girl. Speaking gibberish to people that aren't there and such. Even one man that I remember who would claim to be possessed by the devil, acting much like her, and then suddenly taking on the persona of the devil and telling people he would kill them, etc.

Just like every mental ward also has at least one person who "knows" he's Jesus and wants to save you. I think it's quite telling how people are quick to label others claiming to be Jesus as mentally ill since "clearly" no one today could actually be Jesus. Yet if someone claims to be possessed by the devil or indeed is the devil himself, well then! That's entirely possible!

Wake up folks it's 2008, not 1008.

This is something that really scares me more then anything else...
The video link from the OP once I heard it that was it "me gone!" The film the exocist absolutly terrifies me..any sort of possesion in a film I have to turn off I just can't watch.....
This is very disturbing I wish now I hadn't come upon this thread

I don't recall reading up on this girl. Though there would have to be some extreme evidence before I would assume she was possessed. Wouldn't a demon have more fun in an adult body? More autonomy? Get out and about without restrictions? I would think so.

Excellent point! Why do the possessed always just lay there and writhe around saying obscene things? If you are going to possess a body, do something with the body!

Malachi Martin termed these type of people "imperfectly possessed". He said that it is those actions that show that the person is fighting the possession. The people that he termed "perfectly possessed" do not display those symptoms at all, because they are ok with the possession. He also said that you cannot perform an exorcism on a perfectly possessed person, because the demon is there with their consent, and the person LIKES what the demon does for them.

This truly amuses me. I would be very happy if someone could actually show me a footage of exorcism where anything "supernatural" is going on. Everything I have seen so far is setup or nice hypnosis try. EVIDENCE, please. Just a bit of evidence.

Although I have to see some sort of evedince to make any story credable, I am not absoloutly convinced that possesion cannot happen in some form.

This is because I belive I am truly a spiritual being inhabiting this body for now. So, to me, it is not beyond the realms of possability for another, different, negatively orientated spirit to try and inhabit this body, or even influence it it some negative way.

I am sure that Mental Hospitals are full to the brim with people that seem to be posessed with other personalities, in fact, they do have multiple personalities, but to the doctor they all come from the one body, which is true. They do not, maybe, all come from the same spirit, and this cannot be proved one way or the other. how could it be? all we can say is there seems to be many persons in this body, this is not correct, we must try and help.

The doctors call it a psycological problem, others call it a spiritual problem.
The important thing is to help the person involved is it not?

I have a question on this one...if "demons" are catorgized as something that has never been human then how could the entities that she claimed to have taken possession of her body have been actual people in life? Hitler, Nero, etc.

Slideshow != Footage

You dont have to scream, flop around and speak in funny languages to be possessed. Matter fact, generally entities like to be more subtle about it as to not be detected.

Some of our leaders for example. They carry themselves very well, smart, articulate, and seem to have their heads on straight.

Who knows...I might be possessed judging from some of the wide eyed photos I have seen of myself. Everyone I get in close proximity to they drop something they are carrying (keys, gym bags purses, wallets etc) This is on a regular ongoing basis. Not just obsessive directed attention to, so somehow I psychologically place meaning on it.

On 2 occasions within 6 months I have had one of those Smart cars ( you know that tiny car) with the license plate ELOHIM pull in front of me going the same direction to my destination.( left turns, right turns etc..same streets.
Look it up..its a Tx license plate.

People that I felt hurt me emotionally (usually a woman) go figure.. something bad has happened to them. Some sort of physical illness.

I wonder if a Demon or Neg Entity and a decent sensitive Human spirit can somewhat at some level peacefully co-exist.

I have had that kind of anger towards mankind ( killing 4 billion wouldn't be worth my time attitude lets go for 6.2 billion) but yet I have also had very much compassion for human beings...felt their pain (empathy) affection etc.

But then again...perhaps just mental illness as the closed minded scientists say. If it cannot be measured and placed in a box,,it simply isn't so.

at first i didnt play it with sound wasnt very disturbed with the pics then played it with sound, very disturbing. sent chills down my back

In the spirit of halloween i wanted to see what was on ATS that covered exorcisms...This clip is definitely creepy, and a little disturbing.... I believe we are always going to be split down the middle on people who believe in demonic possessions and those who believe its just mental illness...regardless, its creepy...
