I did not believe that people will get possessed, that is until i saw it with my own eyes…

I still remember, about a year ago I was selected for National Service Programme (NS). I left for the camp on the 18th of March 2007. The camp is situated in the middle of a jungle, the surrounding is beautiful. Everything went well for the first few days.

On the 22nd of March, after dinner. All trainees gathered at the dining hall which also serves as a ceremony hall. It was 9pm when we gathered. As the trainers/instructor was briefing us, one Malay girl started to cry. We thought she cried because she missed her family, boy we were wrong big time. She cried as if she is terrified of something. We asked her what’s wrong, but she didn’t say anything and just kept crying. After a while, she passed out.

Five minutes later, she regained consciousness, but all of a sudden she started to scream like nobodys’ business. One of my trainer said she was possessed. We tried to control her. There’s about 6 of us trying to hold her down. But she was stronger than us. After about 15 minutes of struggling, she stay quiet.

The next thing I know, a few person started screaming too. 12 girls, all having their menses. We are asked to leave the hall and proceed to the surau. The trainers then moved all the 12 girls to the surau. The ‘ustaz’ came to do the ‘exorcism’. All I remember is I heard lots of screaming. The whole ordeal ended at 12:30am. We called that night ‘mass possession night’.

We thought it ended there. But one girl in my dorm keep getting visits from her ’special guest’ everday at the dusk. Sometimes she’ll scream like nobodys’ business, sometimes she’ll be quiet as a mouse. Nevertheless, she and I remained good friend until today.
