A Friend Whom Had Lost His Mind

I have a friend whom had lost his mind after going to one of the famous haunted beach in Brazil. He was one of the investigators working with my other friend's uncle. He was sent to the hospital injured from the exploded phone; he kept on writing strange letters on scrapped notes during the time he was in the hospital but did not let anyone read the letters (They are either scribbled or torn).

A year after now, I went to visit my friend again, that day was his "treatment day" and so I had to bring him to another hospital (a mental hospital). I let my friend off first then parked my car at the parking space far end (MAN! That was far!) I went in the hospital and waited for my friend at the seat outside the doctor's room.

I remember myself starting to get a little sleepy, by the time I nearly dozed off, a young lady sat beside me. I thought she was one of the friends of my friend, "Olá", I remember I said hello to her but she was emotionless. So I sat back ducked down on my knees and tried to rest my eyes. I then hear the lady spoke "você está cansado?" (are you tired?) "um pouco" (a little) I replied. I rise my head up and saw my friend standing in front of me, looking at me as if he was shocked to see something that he should not.

I asked him what happened, and he started to mumble. I called the doctor to see my friend, the doctor asked me if I had asked my friend any unwanted questions, I shook my head and told him that I was resting my eyes and when I looked up I saw him (my friend) standing there in shock. The doctor brought him back in the room at the same time I heard a chuckle right beside my right ear. I turned but saw nobody. I was spooked to hell at that moment since I know that it is not a dream.

My friend came out and apologized, I asked him if he was OK, he shook me off and told me to come outside with him. I am not sure what was going on, as soon as we got out of the hospital my friend turned to me and said "Você viu aquela garota?" (Did you see that girl?). I asked him who he was talking about and he said "Ela estava ao seu lado!" (She was beside you!)

I told him to chill out. He sat down on a bench outside the hospital and pause for a while. I bought a fizzy drink from the hot dog seller outside and handed to my friend. My friend looked at me nearly wanted to cry and said he has lost his mind and needed help, at that moment I think I know what he meant and told him that I might have experienced the lady that he was talking about. I asked him if he wanted to visit some of my relatives from my grandmother's side and do the cleansing ritual that I did.

He became aggressive all the sudden and said "Como ela vai me deixar?" (How will she let me?), he was a little scary at that moment since I did not know what is going on. I sent him back home that day and contacted one of my relatives explaining the situation; he agreed to let us meet the shaman and told me to come anytime.

I am wondering if my friend is just unstable due to psychological illness or if it is due to the spirit (?) of the lady. One thing is I might be dreaming when I was saying hello to the lady and saw her during the time she sat beside me. The moment I raise my head and saw my friend my friend might be seeing her beside me but I do not remember anyone around me thinking back. But the moment I hear the chuckle, my back froze! It was very very very spooky.

Could my friend still carry one of the spirits (or a victim) from the haunted beach with him after such a long period? Why would the spirit be attached to him? And the most important thing that I want to know is, if anyone too experienced a similar situation and how to deal with it.

This is the spookiest thing happened so far and I really would want my friend to become better if this situation is a spiritual possession. For now, I am planning to bring my friend to my relatives but I am really afraid of him becoming aggressive again. Maybe I should be braver?

Sorry if certain things are unclear, please feel free to ask and I can explain as detail as I could.
