There are a number of things you should watch out for in the early stages of demonic possession. A crucifix, circle of salt and a Ouija board can only go so far in order to assist your apparent possession. But like any other ‘disease’ it’s the case of knowing what signs to look out for before it takes over completely. To find out more of these so-called symptoms make sure you pick up a copy of ‘Grace: The Possession’, which is now available on DVD from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
THE ACID TONGUE
You’ve suddenly developed a bit of a potty mouth. No longer do you bite your tongue in seemingly innocuous situations. Instead you feel the need to scream obscenities and screech some utterly sickening verbiage to family and friends much to their disgust. Well, unless you’ve had a bad week at work and are seriously unsuccessful at trying to repress some unresolved anger issues of yours then in likelihood you could be on your way to a full out demonic possession. So what next? Well, if the swear jar isn’t working it may be time to call in the priest.
YOU’RE A LOT MORE FLEXIBLE THAN YOU USED TO BE
Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me. If you’re noticing a certain abrupt looseness in your flexibility then perhaps it’s not just all down to those supplements you’ve been knocking back recently or those extra sessions at the gym. If you find yourself quite literally bending over backwards or twisting and contorting your body into positions you never have before then aside from a few certain obvious advantages you may be playing host to a certain mischievous demon intent on using your body as his own personal playground. The solution? Make sure you stretch and don’t eat up to an hour before your unexpected contortion session.
THE WIFE’S ACTING A LITTLE STRANGER THAN NORMAL
If you’re finding yourself with woman troubles more often than normal lately you may want to look a little deeper into the reasons behind the out of character behaviour. Is the wife standing next to you while you sleep for hours on end? Is she mumbling incoherently in her sleep in what seems to be some old forgotten language? And more importantly is she being dragged out of the bed in the middle of the night and carried out across the landing? These could be crucial signs that all point to the presence of a naughty little demon. So what to do? Extra sleeping pill dosage may help initially but as the nights go on we would recommend using a night vision to make sure you record everything that happens, particularly if things turn more sinister.
‘Grace: The Possession’ is now available on DVD from all major stockists.
