Possessed

What is clear is this: Anytime you read or have heard about demon possession, know that it is in fact one of the following situations:

A. A person suffering from some form of mental and/or health issue, and/or under the influence of a substance which causes the same behaviors.

B. Someone is using the label "demon possession" (or "Witch") in order to persecute and/or otherwise control someone else. This can range from sincere (that is, they believe the person is possessed by demons, because they're dumb) to outright insincere (witch hunts were often politically or socially targeted).

Newsflash if you don't know: There's no such thing as mythical demons. There are metaphorical demons of course, but that's just a flourish of words to describe actual human conditions.

And certainly, metaphorical demons would never cry.
