Demonic possession

Demonic possession is a term used to describe a situation when a demon (a devil) controls a human being or (sometimes) animal.  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.
