   • Actual possession? Bearing in mind that nearly half the population believes that possession is a real thing, intellectual humility dictates that we at least entertain the possibility that demons and devils really exist and that they can inhabit the bodies of people and take control.
   • Trance, dissociation, and ritual enactment. As with Catholic exorcism, spirit possession is a component of religious and other cultural rituals throughout the world, ranging from seances and the practice of “speaking in tongues” in the U.S. to the voodoo of Haiti and the sanghyang of Indonesia.
   • Mass hysteria. It has long been recognized that outbreaks of group behavior attributed to demonic possession or witchcraft—manifested through fits, convulsions, and various vocal utterances—can be explained by the phenomenon of “mass hysteria,” “mass psychogenic illness,” or “mass sociogenic illness.”
   • Psychosis and delusion. It’s not unusual for people with psychotic disorders to have the delusional belief that the devil or demons possess them. While such a belief can be thought of as an example of psychosis in itself, the late Harvard psychologist Brendan Maher proposed that delusional beliefs are merely reasonable explanations for “anomalous experiences.”
