Possession is the state of being inhabited by a demonic spirit. Victims manifest many signs such as agitation, lethargy and paranoia. A good movie to watch on the topic is the Exorcist.

Protestant Christianity usually does not attempt to deal with cases of possession, regarding all occult activity as spiritually unwise. In some cases, Catholic clergy may feel that an exorcism is required, in which the power of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is used to rid the afflicted soul of the demonic presence.
