Multiple Personality Disorder and Demonic and Spirit Possession – Part II

sister and mother believed in witchcraft and the power of its spells while, the patient, on a conscious level, did not. Jung theorized about the collective unconsciousness and the influence this can have on a person. I believe that it is possible that, on this level the patient believed in witchcraft, therefore the spells worked.

Grade IV possession is that of control of a spirit on a person's mind. One of Allison's patients had MPD. The women felt compelled to walk to the harbor, but she did not know why. She had no recall of what had transpired when she regained consciousness and control of her body.

While in a trance, a voice said she was the spirit of a women who had drowned while searching the boats in the harbor for her husband and children who had deserted her. Once the spirit of the woman left, the patient no longer desired to walk about the harbor. The spirit had not completed what she felt she had to do, finding her family, when she died and denied the death of her physical body. This was not the first time the patient had been possessed by entities who claimed to be spirits, both good and evil.

Grade V possession is possession by an entity who either never had its own life history or who was evil in life as another person. It identifies itself as evil. Please refer to my articles, An Exorcism in Earling, Iowa, Part I and Earling Iowa Exorcism, Part II, for a case history of this type of possession. My article, Demonic Possession and Exorcism explains the stages of possession and exorcism.

Others are ashamed and have remorse about what they have done in life and do not want to see their loved ones' spirits. Some believe they will go to hell for misdeeds committed in life and refuse to go on. Some are so attached that they feel they must remain earthbound to help loved ones. Sometimes, it is the loved ones who hang one and will not allow the spirits to go on.

There are those spirits who hang about for malicious reasons. Some do this to continue to control their victims; others do this for revenge. This is extremely rare; however, there have been documented cases.

Fiore also theorizes, based on her experience with patients
