This case was observed in 1949 in Georgetown, USA and in it there were approximately equal proportions of symptoms of both possession and poltergeist. A thirteen-year-old boy became the carrier, and then the victim of the "invasion".
It all started with playing a seance. Soon, knocking and scratching began to be heard, which continued at night. There was a loud crash around the icon depicting Christ.
After ten days the sounds stopped, but three days later resumed in the boy's room in the form of creaks and footsteps on the floor. The family thought it was making itself felt in the spirit of a recently deceased relative.
Later, the manifestations became more expressive. Disappeared, appearing in the strangest places, clothes. A chair with a boy sitting in it was turning over. In his presence all sorts of objects soared into the air and "floated" around the room. And at school he had no rest - objects were thrown from their place there. The boy was asked to leave school, his parents had to hire a private teacher.
Doctors and psychologists who examined him did not find any pathology. Soon an even stranger symptom began to appear: several times he rose into the air directly from the bed on which he lay, sometimes with the mattress, and “floated” in the air. The same thing happened in the hospital, where he was placed, hoping to cure the "disease."
Concerned parents invited priests, and they diagnosed obsession. The boy was shaken by convulsions, he jumped on the bed and again fell on it like a doll controlled by threads. And sometimes it flew over the bed and remained in the air without any support.
After six weeks, the seizures subsided, but the boy became, as it were, a different person. His voice became deep, hoarse, threatening, obscenities sounded constantly. Painful scratches formed on the stomach. The Lutheran priests who entered the house were thrown to the floor by an invisible force.
The parents turned to the Catholic Church, where they began a ten-week exorcism ritual conducted by two Catholic priests. During the first sessions, the forty-kilogram boy jumped out of bed with extraordinary agility, threw the attendants and beat the exorcist on the arm with terrible force.

His body was incredibly swollen, his head movements resembled the movements of a snake's head, spitting with phenomenal accuracy fell into the eyes of the clergy. The air in the room where he lay became almost icy. Eventually, the teenager began to speak Latin.
One of the witnesses mentions an interesting observation. One night, the boy escaped from the hands of the attendants who were holding him tightly and flew over the exorcist, who was standing at some distance from the possessed man's bed with a ritual book in his hands.
The exorcist thought he was the target of the attack. It turned out that the boy needed a ritual book. And when she found himself in his hands, he did not tear, but in some strange way destroyed it. The book instantly turned into a confetti cloud!
Eventually, the obsession passed as the exorcism continued. The boy was returned to his normal state, but he did not remember anything about his suffering. The former possessed converted to the Catholic faith and began to live a normal life, completely forgetting that once, in a fit of obsession, he broke the bones of two ministers and almost killed his mother.
