Dear Joseph:

I finally was able to read the articles about this case. There seems to be a lot of hoopla over this case, which makes me somewhat skeptical. But, in terms of the descriptions of phenomena, such as levitation and demonic apparitions, such things do happen, though levitation is very rare.

As for the boy crawling up the wall, I doubt that as that would require a suspension of the laws of physics. It could, however, be another form of levitation. In levitation the demons are lifting the person, thus there is a force behind it, rather than a suspension of the laws of physics. Otherwise, it is likely to be an illusion caused by the demons in the minds of the witnesses, similar to the head twisting 360 degrees around in the movie, The Exorcist, which is not possible. I know of no case actually reporting a 360 head twist, but if such a thing occurred, it would be an illusion and not real.

There appears to be credible people who have witnessed phenomena. All the phenomena described is of the type that happens in more severe cases (with the possible proviso of the boy climbing the walls, thought that too is possible with the demons supporting him).

We have had a few cases that have been almost this serious. In such cases, we refer the person to  bishop.

In this case, from the report of the priest, after the exorcisms the family seems to be okay and the phenomena ceased.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
