Demonic possession

spirit possession of a human being or an animal by a fictitious malevolent entity; a concept from religion, mythology, and occultism which is incompatible with modern science

Demonic possession is a term used to describe a situation when a demon (a devil) controls a human being. In many cultures and religions people often used to believe that a devil could enter the body of a person and control them. They often thought this was happening when a person seemed to be mad, or when they had a fit, or when they fainted.
