Anyone who believes in the Bible must believe in demonic possession because it is in the Bible and Christ Himself had encounters with it.
Yes I have some stories but I don't like to talk about them.
Yes I believe that Satan exists.

In order to answer the question we need better understand the question. Demon Possession Or Demonized? While the specific term "demon-possession" or "demon-possessed" is not used in Scripture, the Bible does speak of people "having a demon," "demonized," or demons entering into people and controlling their actions. For lack of a better term, we will use "demon-possession" to speak of these activities. It Does Happen The New Testament does testify to the fact that demons are able to enter and control both humans and beasts. It is not mere psychological dysfunction on the part of a person. The works of Demons The Bible tells us that the devil's work is to steal, kill and destroy. Demons want to steal your soul, mind and body from serving and loving GOD. Demons want to kill your body and destroy any connection to GOD. The New Testament give several accounts of Jesus casting out and delivering those possessed by demons. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Jesus came so we may have life with GOD instead of a life apart from GOD.

I do not believe possession is real. I think its an archaic explanation for medical and mental illnesses.
I have many stories of mental illness, but no stories of possession.
I do not believe in Satan.

Google "Fr. Gabrielle Amorth" and read the interview conducted with him.
He is the Chief Exorcist of Rome.
