The signs were clear, the warnings was written. Clearly my girlfriend was not herself.
2 days ago i went to visit my good friend Darrel who was a famed Demonologists and explained to me the 4 stages of demonic possesion.
MANIFESTATION – is when the entity is invited in, intentionally or unintentionally.
Examples of intentionally: trying to curse or bind someone, dabbling in the occult, the inexperienced trying to communicate with the dead, etc.
Examples of unintentionally: can be as simple as negative thoughts that go astray, hatred towards someone, a moment of anger or rage where control is lost, over whelming feelings of guilt or sadness, suicidal thoughts, reckless behavior or over indulging in bad habits.
There are cases where ghost and other types of spirits already inhabit a place and something is done to stir them in to action.
INFESTATION – is when the entity makes itself known to you. You may experience the feeling of being watched; hear knocks or scratching on walls, whispers, sometimes growls, strange electrical occurrences that can’t be rationally explained and poltergeist activity. Generally… you are being haunted.
OPPRESSION – One of their favorite tactics is making it difficult for the target to sleep, often times by making loud noises, causing disturbing nightmares, unnatural sexual dreams and hallucinations. Another way is to find and expose any weaknesses, fears, guilt or grief and use them as a trigger. (Think of the trigger as a button that has been programmed to cause a particular reaction when pushed.)
The target may find themselves embracing bad habits and experiencing uncontrollable anxiety, anger or sadness. They may experience fits of violence, self hate and suicidal thoughts.
The goal of oppression is to break down the target to a point of despair, so they are opened for possession.
Oppression can be quick but most of the time it takes days, week, months and in some cases depending on how strong the persons free-will is, years.
POSSESSION – Is when the targets active free will has been breached and the entity has access to the body. At this point of possession, people will report blacking out or watching from above while the entity has control of their body.
Depending on the entity, for example a ghost, most likely it’s about having a psychical body again so they can accomplish something they would like to do, however in the more malevolent cases, the prize is the soul. In this case the ultimate goal is to claim and take the soul, by tormenting it to the point where the person either commits suicide or the body becomes so emaciated that it dies.
These are some f****d-up s**t i got myself into, and as for Emma? She was the victim to the cursed box.
I showed Darrel a couple of photos of the box as referances, he confirmed the box was a Dybbuk.
What is a Dybbuk you ask?
The dybbuk box, or dibbuk box (in the Hebrew language known as קופסת דיבוק, or Kufsat Dibbuk), is a wine cabinet which is said to be haunted by a dybbuk. A dybbuk is a restless, usually malicious, spirit believed to be able to haunt and even possess the living.
(at least that is what wikipedia thinks)
Darrel warned me the dark power of the box and even offered me to take it away from us, but cleansing a box full of demons was easier said than done. He described the box as “Pure evil” and the power could be manipulating even the strongest of minds. As i was talking to Darrel, i got a call from Emma’s mother.
Emma was hospitalized.
Both me and Darrel rushed to St Jane Hospital, but before we arrived Darrel told me something disturbing.
“Whatever you do, never show fear in front of the box”
The filthy f*****g box which caused this mayhem to my beloved, the one that physically hurt her.
Darrel calmed me down as i rushed to hug my in-laws, My brothers was there as well giving me support and comfort. We need each other more than ever.
Emma had an asthma attack due to excessive smoking. Emma, the girl i loved for years and knowns for the last decade never once liked smoke, never even like to be around smokers, now smoke!? What the f**k is going on? What to whom have driven her to resolve to tobacco intake in a shape of a cigarette?
While I was puzzled and angry at the same time Darrel pull me to the side and revealed me our next plan of action.
“She is in danger, I can sense that her soul is weakening and something malicious and evil is taking over her, first her attitude, second her habit, and finally her choices, i have seen many cases like this but none as strong as this one. ”
At this point I’m desperate for answers and help, so i did what he asked, and handed him the box. And promised to meet up in a week time. Before he disappeared with the box in his hand he gave me one last instruction.
“If anything were to happened to me, call my friend Haden, and tell him, The devil knocked my door and blew out my candle”
3 Days later
The Daily Newspapper gave me the most horrendous news
“Headline:A Famed Demonologist Darrel Constantine, found dead in his private bunglow, cause of death, SUICIDE BY SHOTGUN TO THE HEAD”
The devil was winning, my trump card is folded, and my fiancee… Is losing.
