A 15-year-old girl was rushed to the Emergency Department of the hospital last night after relatives became concerned that she was behaving strangely.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The teen began exhibiting strange behaviour\u00a0at home and when relatives could not come to terms with it, they took her to the Gray’s Farm Police Station.<\/p>\n

After observing the child’s behaviour, the police called the ambulance\u00a0which took her to the hospital.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Throughout the night the girl reported seeing things which no one else saw, she also reported hearing various voices in her head.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And according to our well-placed source, the girl’s stepfather who accompanied her to the hospital said she made strange noises and spoke in scary languages.<\/p>\n

She also reportedly had the strength three times of someone her age and could not be easily contained.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

People who witnessed the ordeal say her behaviour was reminiscent of a person affected by demonic possession.<\/p>\n

It is not certain how medical officials dealt with the patient.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Based on similar reporting on this issue, some\u00a0religous\u00a0leaders are likely to say it’s demonic possession\u00a0while mental health experts believe it’s a mental health issue.<\/p>
