Possession. The word alone sends most of us sprinting to the nearest salt supply and Googling “DIY exorcism kit.” And honestly? That’s not a bad instinct.
There are three basic types:
1. Rideshare: A spirit is just hitching a ride. It can last minutes or days. You might feel unusually tired, hungry, angry… or like listening to music you hate. Side effects fade when the spirit moves on. Usually.
2. Co-Pilot: This one’s more invasive. The host is not in control, but always aware. Think locked-in syndrome, but your mouth says things you don’t mean. Some say it’s like watching your life behind a window.
OHR protocol: sedate, isolate, assess.
Penny protocol: run.
3. Full Override: This is the classic horror story. Unbound entities treating people like meat-suits with Wi-Fi access.
Things that can lead to possession:
- Blood rituals (intentional or not)
- Whisper plagues (more on that later)
- Looking too long into certain mirrors
- Trying to “channel” without safeguards
- Sleepwalking on the edges
- Ouija Board (A low-effort invite that comes with a plastic planchette and snacks)
Things that help:
- Salt lines (old but gold)
- Personal relics (especially gifts)
- Loud, off-key songs sung with gusto
- A Mender, if you can get one
TLDR: Not all possessions are of the spin-your-head, green-vomit variety. But they’re still messy, personal and rarely reversible. Avoid at all costs.
Stay sharp. Stay Unveiled.
