If you look at the Best Answer (Ewe Dontnome), she mentions a past experience in which two men were unable to restrain an 8-month-old baby.
What do you think about this?
Is that even possible scientifically? I’m not trying to attack anybody and I don’t believe in any religion. I’m asking a sincere question and actually looking for an answer, unlike so many here in Y! Answers.

Did you know there are actual historical reports of vampires too? Doesn’t mean it’s truth.

Find More Drug Possession Information…
am skeptical.
You realize that in remote Asian villages there were whole communities who had never had a case of possession, as they had never heard of it. It is all in your head, spread like a virus from the bible.
I call bullsh*t.
Sorry, don’t believe in demons. Tell Ewe to back it up.
If you possess a demon always remember to feed it only before midnight and NEVER get it wet.
Hey, Satan, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKjSnmJd2Q8
It sounds a bit exaggerated.. and they said they worked in a mental facility. People can show amazing displays of strength under crisis. I used to know a couple who had 2 autistic children. They could be unbelievably strong when resisting something they didn’t want.
People say a lot of things, people say that they saw Jesus resurrect, what people say does not constitute truth.
There are no such things as “demons”.
Is it possible for a baby to be hard to restrain? Absolutely. Have you ever seen someone in a seizure? Just try to keep someone like that down.
Did it happen? Your guess is as good as mine, but I doubt it. You will hear tons of “first hand” accounts of things like this, but there’s a reason why witnesses, even on-the-scene witnesses, are not the best evidence.
I think most cases of possession you will see (mostly in the distant past) are explainable by any of a handful of mental illnesses or things like seizures, epilepsy, MS, etc. But I can’t claim it’s not possible. Just not likely.
B- B- B- Bullsh*t!
Yea, that’s bullshit. Pure and utter bullshit. Don’t believe everything you hear on the internet.
It is hard not to consider demons as a possibility. For a child that small he/she would need adrenaline and that much will actually cause the heart to fail. Secondly if it is an energy charge again the body would be physically not be strong enough a baby’s bones are still developing at that stage.
It can be epilepsy along with abnormal amounts of adrenaline…
Love God 🙂
i could mention that my wife is possessed by demons right now, that doesn’t make it true.
whats the source of their claim? if there is none then you can safely assume its BS.
Well i know there is no such thing as demons, they only exist in the imagination of people who say they believe in them. Therefore, if they don’t exist, they are unable to possess anything.
Humans can be quite fragile. Often we have involuntary limits on how much force we use in fear that we will end up tearing our own muscles or breaking our own bones.
Infants have not the experience of muscle strains etc. to have these limits in place. People who are high on drugs or psychotic may well remove these limits and fight with a far greater force than we expect.
Also we limit how much force we use on others. If we just want to take someone down then we would use our full strength, but if we are trying to protect the person we are trying to restrain – such as a baby struggling – then we limit the force we use so we do not harm the baby. The baby however does not know about this and struggles as hard as it can.
I have had to hold down my children when they were infants and needed shots etc. and I know that it is very hard to do because I cared that they were not hurt so I could not use the force needed to truly immobilize them.
Have you ever tried to change a diaper with an unwilling baby? 2 men unable to restrain it doesn’t surprise me.
