Demonic Possession

Demonic Possession is a theoretical construct within the study of possession beliefs referring to the purported condition in which an individual is inhabited or controlled by a malevolent supernatural entity, distinct from other forms of spiritual possession by its association with diabolical or infernal forces and its manifestation through morally negative behaviors, physical afflictions, or religiously interpreted pathological symptoms.
