Anyone have personal experience with demonic possession? I don't want to sound like a total boob when I put together a short story about it, and don't want to merely be an Exorcist ripoff, since I doubt it's -that- dramatic all the time.

but still a good summary (specific entries MCD Generally Approved(tm)) :)

Excerpt:
"The Catholic Church still defines true signs of possession as displaying superhuman strength, often accompanied by fits and convulsions; changes in personality; having knowledge of the future or other secret information; and being able to understand and converse in languages not previously known to the victim, such as the phenomenon glossolalia."
