Have you ever wondered how people affected by possession behave? While many believe possession is just folklore, countless cases suggest otherwise. Here are some chilling symptoms of possession and how victims behave.
1. Unexplained Personality Changes
Victims often experience drastic mood swings. They may become aggressive, speak in unfamiliar languages, or develop abnormal fears and obsessions.
2. Speaking in Unknown Languages
One of the most frightening symptoms is the sudden ability to speak fluently in languages they never learned. This is known as glossolalia or xenoglossy.
3. Extreme Strength and Unnatural Movements
Possessed individuals often exhibit superhuman strength, moving furniture effortlessly or contorting their bodies in disturbing ways.
4. Aversion to Religious Symbols
Many affected individuals react violently to religious objects like crucifixes, holy water, or sacred texts.
5. Hearing Voices and Seeing Shadows
Victims often claim to hear whispers or see dark shadows following them. Sometimes, these voices command them to harm themselves or others.
6. Physical Symptoms Without Medical Cause
Unexplained scratches, bruises, or bite marks appear on their bodies. Doctors are often baffled as there is no medical explanation.
7. Strange Behavior at Night
Possessed individuals may wake up at 3 AM—the so-called "Devil’s Hour"—and act erratically. They may scream, speak in a deep voice, or act as if controlled by an unseen force.
8. Distorted Voice and Multiple Personalities
Another eerie sign is when the victim's voice changes suddenly. Some even speak in multiple voices at once, often in a mocking or sinister tone.
9. Fearless or Violent Behavior
Possessed individuals may act fearlessly, showing no response to pain. Some even attack others without provocation.
10. Knowledge of the Unknown
Victims often reveal secrets about people they have never met. They seem to have knowledge of past events or hidden truths.
