Introduction of possession as a separate psychopathological unit /individual was suggested in professional psychiatric literature at the end of the 20th century , International classification of Disorders edited by the World Health Organisation WHO recognizes possession as a separate category of disorders , to mental disorders defined by WHO categories trans and possession added in 1992 and coded F44 3 , the diagnostic criteria include such symptoms ( mental states ) such as trance change in state of consciousness associated with the loss of one’s sense of identity combined with a disturbance in perception and limitation of movement as well as possession as a feeling of being possessed by a spirit power ghost or divinity , at the same time a necessary term was to exclude psychosis or other somatic diseases

It's funny that thanks to NATO officers Satan actually appeared. I wonder who gave the missile this name.

I am open minded.

I have two things to add though.

One is when I was looking after my sisters cat, it would often stare at the walls, and move its head as if it was following something, it might have been a really tiny fly or something I couldnt see, but it was odd behaviour, and also it acted scared a lot.

On one occasion I woke up and seen some small black masses approach me, which is kind of scary the way I describe it, but after a second or so they backed off and never to be seen again.

Yes you're right Kimmy, I should have said "no scientific evidence to show the existence of demons" etc rather than a flat-out denial. I'm more concerned about how this sort of belief could sway public opinion, as per the witch-hunting trials mentioned. We need to think very carefully before making unproven claims. Just because they're are written about in religious texts such as the Bible, or because people think they've seen something, doesn't make them real…
