Signs of possession
Hi everyone! I’ve been working with this child, and at this point, I have a strong feeling that she may be possessed, although I’m not 100% certain because I’ve never encountered anything like this before.
The family is quite religious and devoutly Catholic. This girl is still quite underweight, yet she has an unbelievable amount of strength. She can grab things out of my hands or squeeze my arm so forcefully that it genuinely doesn’t feel like a young girl is doing it. The strength reminds me more of someone who has trained extensively in martial arts. She also has a strong tendency to destroy property and seems to find it funny, often laughing or treating it like a game. For example, she will knock over or destroy plants, throw hard objects at the TV, try to break her toys easily with no remorse whatsoever, etc. Sometimes I'll bring out her kid-friendly Bible, and she has this automatic reaction of disgust. She'll tell me to put it away right away, almost as though she's afraid of it. But at the same time, she loves reading about some of the Bible stories. So it's kind of a mix of the two.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have worked with children (or even their own family members) displaying this kind of unusual behaviour. Thank you!
