It is mainly seen in the villages. Though I haven't seen it in my own eyes, I have heard a lot about this from others who live in villages. That some person, who is completely well, suddenly does strange behavior. He can't recognize any of his relatives. Sometimes he go completly crazy and even found at the top of a tree, not willing to come back. People say, they are captured by evil or fairy. They suddenly become stronger and it is difficult to hold him. He tries to run away. It takes 3 or 4 people to hold him. The only way of eradicating the evil, is some kind of voodoo done be experienced people. Then the affected person talk for the evil and says that he will go away. Then he become senseless. When he wakes up, he remembers nothing about the whole fact. Then he is quite normal. Men and women are both afftected by this but women are more in number. I still don't believe that evil thing but I am confused as my own relatives who live in villages told that they saw it happenning.

Yes. It has nothing to do with the devil or Peter Pan. It is an onset of schizophrenia.

I think it might be a side effect of living in a small town. Luckily I have YA to prevent that. some people jsut want more in life than farming or whatever they do.
Or, devils are real and they like to have fun with humans because they have bodies and devils don't (at least i dont think they do.) I can believe either one.

Autosuggestion (or autohypnosis/self-hypnosis) is a common occurance in cultures with strong active and visual customs of possession, such as being ridden by the Loa. It is a combination of psychology and sociology that produces this effect.

Evil does exist and so does mental illness. That is really all I can say about your concern. Take it with a grain of salt and don't be so easily deceived by evil and people.

he he could you imagine a little evil fairy flying around. You know he would be picked on by all of the other fairies. Tinkerbell wouldn't even give him a chance.

Yes, it's mental illness. That's why it only happens in villages, no one there can recognize mental illness when they see it.

yea i believe it. but its not supernatural like they say or anything, its mental diseases, sounds like he could have a split personality with paranoia, epilepsy, skitsophrania, and other **** to loose control. and the "experienced" ppl prolly have some special herb or medicine for him and eventually he turns normal again

It's called mental illness. We're lucky we have medicine today or else they'd still be burning people at the stakes.
