Issue 1:
|
||
Demonic Possessions & Exorcisms
|
||
Written By Parker Lewis [Vandals] (an681512@anon.penet.fi)
|
||
|
||
This is a new publication that I'll be starting, it is dedicated to the
|
||
world of strange phenomena which I've been interested in for several years
|
||
now, with the everyday routine that we live everyday, it's good to know that
|
||
there is much more to live then what is presented to us, it gives more
|
||
meaning to life. Anyways thats what this new text file series from The
|
||
Vandals will be about, contributions will be excepted. In this first "issue"
|
||
I'll be writting about Devil Possessions, which in my opinion is probably one
|
||
of the scariest phenomenas. I hope you enjoy this new series.
|
||
|
||
A person is known to be possessed when they start reacting in a violent
|
||
nature. For no appearent reason they become violent, they twist and tangle
|
||
their arms and legs in such ways that no one is able to untangle them,
|
||
sometimes their bodies can become so regit that outside force is unable to
|
||
move it, while at other times their bodies can become so flexiable that the
|
||
person is able to move the body in positions not normally possible without
|
||
the breakage of bones or joints, at times the person who has been possessed
|
||
is known to transform into a snakelike creature, the person's body would
|
||
become as flexible as rubber, and they would writhe along the floor, their
|
||
neck would elongate, thereby enhancing the serpent image. In the case of
|
||
Clara Germana Cele, when she bit one of the nuns which were supervising her,
|
||
in the arm, the arm revealed Germana's teeth marks as well as well as a small
|
||
red puncture which resembled a snake bite. The person who has been possessed
|
||
has no control over their own body, only the Devil can give peace to these
|
||
objects of his torture.
|
||
|
||
Another phenomena which occurs while the person is under control from the
|
||
Devil is the ability to levitate. People have been known to float various
|
||
feets in the air, both in a horizontal position (with their bodies extended
|
||
outwards) and a vertical position (with their feet downwards). While they
|
||
are floating, their bodies are rigid and their clothing remain tightly
|
||
attached to their bodies instead of falling down as would be expected.
|
||
Attempting to pull the person down while they are levitating is a worthless
|
||
task, only after having holy water strinkeled on the body, does the body
|
||
begin to descent and the clothing begins to fall loosely. Sometimes instead
|
||
of just levitating upwards, the body is thrown in various directions as if it
|
||
were a play toy.
|
||
|
||
When under control of the Devil, the person shows a hatered for all
|
||
relegious objects. The Devil is able to sense the presence of relegious
|
||
objects even if they are well hidden or concealed, pouring ordinary water on
|
||
him will only make him laugh whereas holy water will cause him much pain.
|
||
A person who has been possessed will refuse to eat food which has been
|
||
secretly blessed with holy water, or cower at the sight of a rosery or a
|
||
cross.
|
||
|
||
Another sign of possession by the Devil include vomiting of repulsive
|
||
substances like yellow foam, feathers, seeweed and tabacco leaves which emite
|
||
such horrible smells that the only way to get rid of it is to burn the object
|
||
which the vomit fell on. This evil smell can fill out a room, and make a
|
||
person's presence in the room nearly impossible, to give you an idea of how
|
||
bad the smell is, it smells even worst then Serial Link and his "Avengers"
|
||
group, but not by much (sorry, I just had to add that in there). Before the
|
||
vomit is expeled, the body becomes bloated as if it were about to burst.
|
||
|
||
A most frequent sign of supernatural ability comes in the form of
|
||
clairvoyancy. The person is able to predict deaths or accidents as well as
|
||
events taking place far from where the person is located, they may also use
|
||
this clairvoyancy to bring on shame to someone, by reveling scandalous
|
||
details of their private lives, complete with dates, times and names.
|
||
|
||
While under control of the Devil, the Devil may manifest himself by other
|
||
actions like infesting the victim's head with red lice which can only be
|
||
cured by pouring holy water on the victims head, utter shocking profanities,
|
||
make strange animal noises or really horrible screams which are unbareable,
|
||
for extented periods of time. The person may also start to talk to invisible
|
||
beings or demon drawings and show a great fascination for diabolic things.
|
||
The person may also have the ability to speak in different languages never
|
||
before spoken. Sometimes the words don't come from the person's mouth, they
|
||
seem to be coming from within.
|
||
|
||
For the rites of exorcism to be executed, the priest must first seek
|
||
permission from the bishop. During the exorcism the priest may be acompanied
|
||
by another priest and people who are physicly prepared for the challenge. In
|
||
some countries like for example, Germany, a physician must also be present to
|
||
evaluate the physical state of the victim. Exorcisms can take as long as a
|
||
few days to a couple of months or maybe even longer. Throught out the
|
||
exorcism the priests and the attending people must be both physicly and
|
||
mentally prepared for the task. They must endure the Devil's crys of pain,
|
||
as well as attacks from the Devil and this may take up to several sleepless
|
||
days. The Demons who have taken control of the body may choose to identify
|
||
themselves and their reasons for possessing the body. When the demons
|
||
finally surrender, they mark their departure from the body with either a show
|
||
of levitation, by leaving behind a foul odor or by some other action.
|
||
|
||
There are three ways that a person can get possessed although they are not
|
||
the only ways. The first is just a random person who the Devil chooses to
|
||
take control over, the second is if the person makes a pact with the Devil
|
||
and the third is if a person is cursed by someone who is damned after they
|
||
die.
|
||
|
||
Skeptics dismiss possession by the Devil and attribute the person's actions
|
||
to an epilepsy attack, hysteria or psychological conditions like multiple
|
||
personalities. They consider demonic possession as medieval superstition and
|
||
ignorance. There is some degree of truth to their thinkings, but it only
|
||
explains certain conditions that is shown on a person who has been possessed.
|
||
During an epilepsy attack a person's muscles can become rigid and foam may be
|
||
produced in the mouth, the person may move their head in a back and forth
|
||
motion, the distortion of the face and strange guttural noises coming from a
|
||
spasm of the throat muscles may also be produced. During an attack the body
|
||
may bend back in a semi-circle, this is known as the hysterical arch, and
|
||
it's frequently seen in cases of possession. An average epilepsy attack can
|
||
last up to five minutes. These conditions do resemble some symptoms of a
|
||
person who has been possessed, but they choose to ignore the other signs of
|
||
possessions like levitation, the ability to speak in a foreign tongue, etc.
|
||
which can not be explained by modern day medical science. It is by these
|
||
paranormal phenomena that the church identifies a case of demonic possession,
|
||
other symptoms are the hatred for relegious objects and the ability to detect
|
||
relegious objects which have been hidden or concealed.
