I know that being possessed is common in other countries and with Catholics (and other BROKEN churches) but have you ever seen/experienced one?
This past summer, I was at LA for a training before going to Mexico to do evangelism/missions and I was able to see it in one of my training team members for the first time. She was from a different church and was only 15, but it was crazy... It went on for hours and she was screaming and crying out for her mom and wanted to get out of the room (they put her in another room because she started screaming and hitting everyone while we were praying) When we left the room, you could hear thumpings in the room she was in. Later, my counselor came back with crazy bruises and told us how they saw a little bit of her and a little bit of the evil spirits. When they asked her to name the spirits, she named them... (hatred, abandonment, etc.) which made sense because she shared with us before how she felt so abonded and hated by everyone and was so lonely that she was afraid God was going to abondon her also. There were moments where she would slow down and act liek it was over but then turn around and say "Fooled you, didn't I?" And all these crazy stuff... Literally 3 hours.. When it ended, there was a flash of thunder in the sky which was even more crazy because it was a hot summer day.
Later, she (the girl who got possessed) told me how she hardly remembered everything but once in awhile remembered hitting certain people. She said before it was over she saw Jesus telling her to pull a rope and when she did, she fell asleep and her possession was over.
I don't know, people were afraid, but I really wasn't. It just made me believe that more that there really are spirits and such.

Hi neeens,
I do believe in demon possession, it is Biblical and I think it still happens today. I am not a expert by any means but in my opion, it sounds like she could certainly have been possessed. Again I am not a expert and you have to rule out mental illness and fakery but it seems from what you wrote that she well could have been.
So, I do believe that demon possess is real. God bless you my friend, Leofajohnson
