Wandering Soul

This story is not mine but about my sister. My sister was about 18 that time and me about 20. We were home with my mom and 3 other sisters. My dad is not usually around as he works in the far area.

Earlier that night we gathered at my aunt's house since it was Mother's day and we had a family function. We went home about 9pm and my sister, who we can call Maria (not her real name), started acting weird. She taped all of her fingers and toes together with scotch tape and called me to see what she did while laughing. I was surprised at her actions but let it off anyway. The two of us usually sleep together in one bed and later went to bed.

My elder sister was watching television until around 12am that night so all was well until then. As soon as she took the lights off in the house and went to bed, Maria got out of bed and went into the living room. My mom, who was awoken by sounds, got up to find her sitting between our computer desk searching for something. This angered my mom since it was late at night, so she turned the lights on and asked Maria what she was doing. Maria looked at her with fear in her eyes and said she wanted her slippers since she was going to the town (like an hour away from us).

Obviously surprised my mom said, "It's almost 1am. Why do you want to go to town?" Maria then turned to my mom and, breathing heavily, took off the lights. Again my mom turn on the lights and Maria starting growling heavily and turn them off again. My mom realize this is not my sister and started screaming since Maria starting walking towards her with loud howling and her eyes turning around. Her hair was opened and she walked briskly with her shoulders upright like a hulk, going to my mother.

My mom ran to the room with my other sisters and they locked themselves in while Maria went to them banging on the door and making loud scary sounds. At this point my uncle next door heard and came across and he realized what was happening and started praying. Maria walked to him and as soon as he touched, her she fell down unconscious and woke up crying. Few minutes later she said her foot felt heavy as if something was trying to come into her body from her foot.

We took religious pictures and placed them on her feet and started praying again and she felt okay. She kept asking us what happened since she could not remember anything, only knowing she went to sleep.

My mom later went to a religious priest who told her a wandering soul who died many years ago was in my sister's body and he was doing those things. He said if we had allowed her to leave the house, the spirit would have killed her and that the spirit came through the ends of her hair since she had it opened while walking under a big tree in the yard. He suggested she do a few religious prayers and since then was not attacked again. He advised to always tie her hair up, especially at nights, since evil can gain access to your body through your hair. For about 3 months we did not sleep in the room again since we were very scared.

I took out a few small details in order to make it short. Let me know if you have any questions.
