Out of all the claims of demon possession, how many of them are caught doing some unspeakable act, THEN make that claim? If I had to guess, I would go with 100%.
When people claim these things, or insanity (perhaps the same thing), they are just trying to escape consequences.
People do not get possessed by demons, devils, spirits, or the like. Odds are 0.00%. It cannot happen to anyone.

Do you remember when Jesus cast out Legion, demons, they said, "Suffer us to go over here in this herd of swine." And He give them permission to go. And they went over there, and those hogs, thousands of them, run down to the river and drowned in the river. These demon powers will find a place to go. For example what medical doctors call epilepsy. Jesus called it a demon.Cancer is a demon. The medical name: cancer, you would call it a demon, which it is, a tormentor of the body. He said, "When the deaf spirit come out of the man, he could hear." And if the doctor can't tell why that nerve is dead, why, it's a demon setting there, it's cut off the hearing of that ear.All sickness is of the devil. You can't pin that on God. You hear so many people talking about a demon. Well, now, a "demon, devil," all comes from one word, and in the English it's called "tormentor." I'd say this though; the demon that comes into the soul is something that torments the soul.But when actually a demon has to obey you, he'll recognize it.Now, once a little cell rejects in the body and this demon gets started, he starts growing; he begins to multiply cells. It's a demon power a-moving.Now, people, when you say "demon," right quick they begin to think, "Oh, some fanaticism or something." But demons are just as real as Angels; they're just as real.You've seen it many times, they scream, and jump, and carry on, and demon possessed people and things. Did you ever see a person possessed with demon power? There’s not a remedy in a doctor's book for it. Why? It's oppression, demon oppression, like a dark shadow hangs; it's always causing you to be that way. But what it is, on account of that, another thing its epileptic cases, and so forth, or demon possessed people, when they get to the platform to be prayed for, sometimes they just go into a tantrum. Anybody that's demon possessed is many times more than their strength. If there's un-confessed sin or something, or some out of the will of God, you could anoint them all night long, and cry, and scream and do all you wish to, that demon will stay right there. Only exalting the cross and the Lord Jesus Christ, and your personal faith in that finished work yonder at Calvary will make every demon shake! When that demon saw Jesus, he threw that boy into a spell like he never had before, fell on the ground and frothed and kicked his feet and straightened out. The disciples said, "Why couldn't we cast him out?"
Jesus said, "Not because you don't have power, but because of your unbelief."

People can be possessed by demons. However the odds are entirely based on how that person conducts themselves. People who are extremely open to Occult teachings and delve into demonology are more likely to become possessed. This comes from inexperience or foolish ritualists. However this can happen to anyone, but the likelyhood of someone who does not practice an occult art is practically zero.
Something to note is that I am an Occultist. Rather then take the opinion of someone who has no idea about the world of demons consider that I have some experience in such strange things. I tell my friends no to play with ouji boards or tarot cards. I also tell no one to join my craft. There are risks of doing what I do and I do not wish to be responsible for the fools who think that becuase they watched harry potter 12 times that they are capable of magick. (please note the harry potter stories are fiction and have absolutely no relavence to real witchcraft.)
If your delving in the occult you are at risk. If not then go about your life without worry.
To the learned mind,
Silence

Demons are very real and have great power to the people who open themselves up to the occult. When "spirits" are summoned or invoked in a witchcraft ritual, they will come and possess the person who is inviting them in. Black magic, the occult, witchcraft and the likes is all about demonic activity! That is why you have to be so careful when you start entertaining the idea of dabbling in such things. The bible talks quite openly about demons and there place in this world. They are basically the "fallen angels" that were cast down from heaven with Satan in the beginning. The bible says that they will take there place in hell and Satan will be cast into a bottomless pit! Just as everyone has a guardian angel, given to us for divine protection, Satan has assigned demons to each one of us - because He knows his destination and is determined to take as many people down with him before his day of reckoning. Demon possession is more common than people realise - and, as I said before, they are powerful and able to do many supernatural feats. The only thing that drives them out (according to the bible) is THE NAME & THE BLOOD OF JESUS! Remember, they have been around for thousands of years and know too well our human weaknesses - so, they are worthy opponents! The Devil comes to steal, kill and destroy the bible says - and demons are his henchmen! Be careful.

Sure they can be possessed. If you open the front door to your house, can stray dogs come in uninvited? Can bugs crawl in? Can birds fly in? If the door is open, anything can come in. Its the same way with Satan's workers. If you sin, you invite them in. Sometimes you sin without meaning to and they know that. Sometimes you sin purposely and you just opened the door a little wider. The odds are huge. It can happen to anyone. People say Christian's can't be possessed--that's true, but they can be oppressed. Big difference. But the problem is, being possessed is seriously going to cause you problems in your life in every area conceivable. Being oppressed might bother you in some areas, like being depressed and you just can't seem to get over it. Either way, the way to avoid it is to cling to Jesus, always ask forgiveness and don't hold anything against anyone, anywhere. This is not a question answered in a few words. It could take months to accurately answer this.

I have heard about it happening to people. There are accounts of it in the New Testament part of the Bible. Jesus healed many people with unclean spirits. Unclean spirits is another word for demon possession. Some people become possesed when they dabble in evil activity , and when they reject Jesus Christ and the belief of John 3 : 16.

good is a relative theory. Being good would not advise you reside your life in accordance to God. Do you attend amenities, do you provide charity in many situations, do you pray in many situations, do you sweep your teeth (purely kidding, yet not)? perception followed with the help of righteousness in deed and stability even in non secular ritual is what earns God's favor. benefit this and demons haven't any means over you. sufferers of possession also have a tendency to have a more suited connection to the psychic international. those people should be characterized as having a sixth experience or 0.33 eye. Prayer is the biggest weapon adversarial to the forces of darkness. in case you do not believe me, study the powers of meditation and prayer. mind waves, meditative therapeutic, the works. purely because we do not know or understand some thing would not advise they don't exist. Hollywood performs a huge function in scaring us. maximum of that's garbage. There are issues that exist that ought to turn your blood to ice, notwithstanding. those who say that's not real do not realize what those forces are and they are as medical as those creatures of the deep we watch on Discovery. So called demons are extremely purely yet another species that exist in the guidelines of physics. you would likely giggle if I informed you that invisibility is actual, till they printed the Reuters article in 2007 with reference to the Harry Potter Cloak of Darkness is actual the position scientists cloaked a small cylinder sized merchandise. imagine about it.

Playing with the occult, the New-Age Movement, Channeling, Witchcraft -- any of these can make you susceptible to demon oppression and/or demon possession.
It is a matter of certain mystical practices which open us up to demons.
Cordially,

No...demons are make-believe. You cannot be possessed by a demon. What was once thought to be demon possession is now known to be mental illness.
