Early Warning Signs

According to the Catholic Church, many rationalists argue that demonic possession signs are signs of physical and mental diseases. However, the Vatican insists that these signs are different. According to Catholics, the symptoms of demonic possession include vocal outbursts, stomach cramps, palsy and tremors, vomiting and violent headaches. 

The church argues that it is possible for an individual to be physically ill and possessed at the same time. The church cites Matthew 8:16 from the New Vulgate Bible. The verse outlines the events on one evening when people brought possessed persons to Jesus. He cast out evil spirits out of them with his word and healed the sick among them.

Super-Human Abilities

Possessed individuals sometimes get new physical abilities. A possessed individual may become violent if driven out of his or her hiding place. For instance, a child can throw four men off or lift heavy items. A provoked demon can react aggressively by lifting people or objects and throwing them across the rooms. The provoked demon may also carve words into walls or human skin.

Sudden Change in Behavior

Another signs of demonic possession is sudden changes in personality. The changes may manifest as aversion to religious items, violent outbursts, and sudden knowledge of archaic languages. Peaceful individuals may act out by threatening others with fear and violence or make lewd or obscene comments about them. The Greek word of demon is daemon, which is sometimes translated to mean a fallen angel or an unclean spirit. Hence, it is not unusual for individuals who were once virtuous or spiritual to incur sudden changes in their normal behavior.
