As promised, here's the story about my mother.
When she was seven, she was abducted by a creature who told her that after 15 years, it will come back to get her again and marry her.
Fifteen years later, 2 months before her 22nd birthday, she married my father. They thought that the creature would not hunt them anymore or so they believed. From then on, every year, days before the All Soul's day, she keeps on experiencing possession.
One time, I remember, after my first semester in my first year in college, I was just sitting on the chair next to the sofa where my mother was sleeping. I jumped off when I heard her speak in a small voice. It sounded like an angry, childish female and I know that was not my mother anymore. I called the rest of the family to see what was happening.
The voice said that my mother bumped her and that she was offended when my mother did not say sorry. She even said that my mother totally ignored her after bumping her.
My sister went to get rosaries and a bottle of holy water while my father went outside to prepare an incense. Me and my brother held the hands of our mother as my sister poured the holy water onto my mother's forehead. She also poured some of the water to my mother's hands and feet. While she was doing that, our mother tried to break free from me and my brother. She was so strong that I had to hold her tighter. I even let her hold the rosaries but she kept on throwing those at us.
My father went inside the house with the incense he made and he uttered some intelligible prayers. My mother then stopped. We waited for minutes then she finally opened her eyes (because all those happened with her eyes closed). She said that she was running outside our house and that she kept on shouting to get our attention and open the gate for her but we could not hear her. She also said that a woman wearing black went inside our house and she tried to shoo her away but the woman did not listen.
We were speechless for a while. We then told her what had just happened. She said that maybe that was a curse she got when the creature returned to get her but found out that she married another.
From then on, we were very careful and watchful of her when the Halloween season is coming.
