Unsettling audio my mom recorded of her ex-boyfriend. Is this a known sleep disorder or demonic possession?
Posting this recording on behalf of my mom, who captured the audio of her ex-boyfriend while he was asleep. In the clip, she is playing back the raw recording from her phone.
For critical context: this was an extremely toxic, high-conflict, and deeply abusive relationship. He was not a good person, and the environment in that home was consistently dark, heavy, and volatile.
On this night, she started recording because he began making deep, abnormal guttural sounds in his sleep. When she began verbally confronting and rebuking the presence in the room, a distinct, distorted vocalization answered back directly right before he woke up.
Given the severe abuse and hostility tied to him, my mom firmly believes there was an oppressive spiritual attachment or negative entity feeding on that environment. That said, we also know that severe sleep disturbances or parasomnia can cause vocal cord strain.
Listen with headphones, the vocal shift between the guttural response and his actual waking tone is jarring. Looking for input from people experienced in either negative entity attachments or severe parasomnias.
