A Modern Legend of Demons And Possessions

 

Sarah Musben

Nobody really knows what happened to Sarah Musben, who was born in Sweden in 1913 and died 13 years later. Her life must have been agony, and, according to one's beliefs, one will ask how did this happen or why. To ask "how" one must see her case as belonging to medicine, but to ask "why" one obviously sees it as part of something else, but what? She herself said that a demon took possession of her body, but do we believe in what is known as super-natural demonic possessions? Naaahhh, not really, but on the other hand: Maybe .... 

However, neither way of seeing her fate gives a truly useful answer to her strange condition, which is the reason that many people don't believe it's true whereas others are convinced that it's a genuine case of demonic possession. (Also it scares people that much that they simply don't want to admit that it may be true ....).

As far as I can see the only medical condition which might explain something of what happened to her is Epilepsy, but only up to a point. The possibility of a demonic possession is hard to accept because we are conditioned to see hardships of this magnitude as something deserved or undeserved. In this case it goes far back in the life of a child in Sweden who can't have deserved anything like it: Her parents got so afraid of her that they had her hospitalized when she was 7 because every night at midnight her blue eyes turned black, and her body made involuntary movements. 

The most striking physical change was her eyes which attained an extremely hateful expression while black. People - obviously including her parents - got afraid of her and thus shunned her. As to her death at 13 it must have been a relief to her no matter what happened to her in her short life - or didn't her demon possession not stop when she died? People at her death bed reported that after death her eyes suddenly opened, not blue, but black and sinister. What's more, all those present at her death died soon afterwards, and - lo and behold!!!! - their eyes had gone black ....
