A coworker told me the other day of a crazy call he had for transport. They get dispatched to a psychiatrist's office for a patient who's pale, cool, and moist. Initially, they think it's just some transport for a geriatric patient who might be on some sort of cardiac compromise. When they get on scene, all the staff and people in the building are standing outside the psychiatrist's office, which seemed a little weird. So my coworker and his partner ask where the patient is and they point into the office to a 23 Y.O. Hispanic female lying on the ground moaning. They go inside and begin speaking to her family who was there - the father spoke broken English but the mother spoke fluent English. They ask about what happened and they don't really give any help, so they begin assessing the girl. They assess ABC's, look at her arms for any track marks or scarring and find nothing - all WNL. She's mumbling something they don't understand but don't really pay attention. Now they decide to get her up and transport and the father goes to grab her arm when she shoots right up to a fully erect standing position when she was previously lying on the ground. She did this without being helped up or bending her knees or core. The FTO (my coworker) remarked he thought it was a neat trick but was a little perturbed. Now that she's up he and his partner grab her arms gently to help walk her to the gurney, but she turns her head to them both with eyes closed and smirks. They secure her to the gurney and she's still mumbling incoherent sounds.

At any rate they get her in the ambulance and the mother joins the attending EMT (who's female) in the rear of the rig. At this point the patient begins talking more clearly, saying "Lucifer, Lucifer", among other words. She begins speaking louder and saying "Mother, are you there? Mother?". Transport begins and the attending is completing the PCR when the patient rockets up in a sitting stance and turns to the attending. She opens her eyes that have turned completely black with dilation and the patient states, "Marella (this is the name of the attending EMT), I have marked the souls of your three children." Then she laughed, laid back down and closed her eyes again. The attending was shocked because she was a mother of 3 kids but had never mentioned it at any point. At this point the mother of the patient pulls out a vial of holy water from her pocket and begins splashing her daughter with it, while saying "Pray, pray as hard as you can!". Then the mother opens the mouth of her daughter and pours the water in her mouth to get her to drink it and her daughter gags. The attending was feeling too shocked to really stop the mother when the patient shot back up, opened her dilated eyes and spat the water in her face and laughed again. Then she raised her arms and her hands bent unnaturally down to touch her wrists and completely parallel to her arm, something that's anatomically impossible.

The FTO in the front is hearing this and seeing it unfold in the rear view mirror and can hardly believe what he's seeing. The attending has now had enough and grabs the restraints and restrains the patient to the gurney so the rest of the transport was without much else incident. Upon arriving at the hospital they notice the patient now has lacerations all up her arms and forearms that were not there when they had assessed her on scene, and the patient's necklace was fused to her skin and was also not fused when inspected on scene. The hospital staff asked about it but both my coworker and his partner could not account for it since it wasn't there at scene and only appeared, somehow, upon arriving. Some of the staff believed them and others did not, but in the end it was some sort of possession they dealt with. Documented into the PCR and all, a legit possession. Too many things happened that could not naturally occur.

So, I ask you, why don't you believe?

I believe the evil is out there and it can attach itself to take human form.

1. you're hot

2. I agree. I've only ever read about these stories online but to hear it from a coworker in person? That changes things, and he was absolutely serious and adamant about it. I went to talk to him about it and he believes it was real.

1. Thanks.
2. Everyone is skeptical until they experience it for themselves or see the fear in someone else's eyes. Possessions go way back in history, and sure most cases were just severe retardation before it was medically understood.

That was...

really fucking weird. Holy shit.

Finally a real reply.... Fuck.

Oh shit, you're right.

All the other ones aside from you were regurgitated memes.

The reason I don't believe is because this is backed without any source other than your own.

This is the internet, the land of bullshit. I don't take anecdotes without evidence seriously.

Because there's no such thing as possession and shit.

But hey, if it's on the Internet with no actual sources besides a "friend", then it's obviously real.

tl:dr

Hi, Kitsunekun, I'm the resident creep, here to creep on you.

Are you really a girl?

Hey.

Hey, Elegiac.

Hey.

She's a fox too.

What if she was acting so people will think that the devil is real therefore become Christian?

Well, it's been documented. Everything we do on our calls is written and recorded and given to the hospital. So the PCR they filled out has it documented and the hospital, too. Thing is that's all protected from the public because it's patient confidentiality under HIPAA. He might have filed for a Patient Care Status or something along those lines to hear back about her condition and what happened to her after, but I forgot to ask. I was personally always skeptical about these stories when I read about them, but when you hear it from someone in person, a coworker and in this field, it kinda changes things a bit. At first I thought he was telling us a joke or it would turn out the patient was faking, but rather it got more and more serious and she wasn't faking.

What if she was acting so people will think that the devil is real therefore become Christian?

She wasn't acting because there are things she did that are not possible, such as:

1. Coming straight up from lying on the ground without bending her knees or center core, and did this without assistance. Not possible. Think about a 2x4 lying on the ground that just shoots up to balance itself without being touched or helped by anyone.

2. How could she have known about the attending EMT's three children when they were never mentioned anywhere by the EMT and the patient seemed altered?

3. It is anatomically impossible to bend your hands completely parallel to your wrists/arms without breaking them, and she did this - once again without anyone pressing her hands down, she just did it seamlessly.

4. How do you explain the lacerations appearing on her arms when arriving at the hospital? When she was assessed on scene, her body was found with no abnormalities and WNL.

5. The necklace she was wearing was somehow fused to her skin also on arriving at the hospital. This also doesn't make sense since it was also assessed at the scene and had been free-moving.
