Here's how it starts. Maybe it's your mother or maybe your sister. She starts complaining of headaches and strange tingling sensations in different parts of her body.
Her discomfort escalates. She complains of hallucinations; she starts hearing voices.
Then the seizures begin. She has trouble walking and eating. And maintaining control of her bladder.
The seizures become violent. She thrashes around her bed for hours. You try to restrain her, but she suddenly has impossible strength.
Her moods become erratic. She swings between fear and anger and sadness. Her speech becomes ragged and deep. She has sudden outbursts where she barks out phrases in Latin and Aramaic; languages she doesn't speak.
Then, for no reason at all, the symptoms suddenly stop. And she's back to her normal self. Frightened and exhausted, but it's still her.
Her doctor can't find anything wrong with her. Psychiatrists and neurologists can't explain what's happening.
This scenario happens to hundreds of families every year from all over the world; of every different culture and religion.
And when this does happen to someone you love, and there's nobody else to call; you call an exorcist.

So the demons, will rise up out of the people possessed by them, and that will make them easy to identify.
2 Questions?
1. Who's doing the "identifying"?
2. And, incidentally, do you happen to know what is going to rise, if anything rises, from the people who are not possessed demons?

Sometimes I think our "personality" is the result of tuning into, call it a "frequency". And for some people, other frequencies interfere or compete with each other.

I can tell you from experience that that is not how it works^
People possess people. Demons don't possess anything. They are more like machine parts that are given purpose. They don't really get inside of people so much as they sort of inhabit what we would call "the circumstance that one finds one's self in".
That's why it feels personal. But it's not what are called demons, it's just other people that are the operators, and they are fully imbibed at all times to do whatever it is they like. That can be why, even though something is hurting you, it still makes your brain feel right to do it, so everything is right with the world.
Demons are way more map and way less terrain. Same deal with Angels.

Some of the symptoms of those few refered to Vatican excorcists-after being ruled "something else" by psych doctors simply do not fit with mental illness-
There are cases with symptoms like suddenly speaking Arameic fluently,knowing impossible to know details about a persons life,wounds/bruises appearing on the skin in front of witnesses,and even poltergeist like activity and levitation of the "possessed"person.
Whatever these entities are-they always are malevolant towards humans,and they have access to details of ancient human history-and are able to read peoples own past in real time.
Its almost like they have hacked the code of our reality or simulation.
