An exorcist has detailed some of the signs that someone may be possessed, and the ones that can be a real cause of concern.
Ian Lawman, an exorcist and psychic medium, sat down with LADbible Stories earlier this year to discuss a wide range of topics on everything about the spirit world, including his real-life experiences tackling evil spirits, creepy dolls, and encounters with Satan himself.
During the beginning of the interview, Lawman detailed some of the telltale signs someone near to you may be possessed, and some of them are certainly surprising.

"If someone is possessed with an entity, it’s very, very slow," he began. "There is a situation where it’s bang, it’s like a car crash and it’s in there. But for the majority of people, it’s very slow."
While Lawman notes it's not the same for every person who becomes 'possessed', he provided one scenario with: "If you’re a really happy person, the first thing that would happen is that you’d feel a little bit low, you’d feel depressed, you’d where like you didn’t want to eat anymore.
"Your friends would start to aggravate you and you’d start to push your family and loved ones away."
The exorcist continued: "The whole idea is that this entity is wanting to isolate you," noting that some people have tragically even died by suicide as a result.
"It could be over months, over years, and it feeds off you," he concluded.
Elsewhere in LADbible's 'Honesty Box', Lawman spoke about demons and how he believes they blend into the living world.
"People don't understand that there's demons amongst us even now, and demons wear clothes like we wear clothes and that is because they're trying to fit in," he added.
"They're trying to be one of us and they're very good at disguising themselves."
And according to the exorcist, it's the eyes that often give it away as he explained: "When I meet somebody... and I think there's something strange about them, it's all about their eyes," adding that demons often feel uncomfortable in his presence 'because I'm ordained, [demons] will look very uncomfortable with me and want to back off'.
