The Possession of Clara Germana Cele

               Hi every one! Today I have a pretty interesting post for you. I'm pretty sure that anyone reading this has heard of possessions, and exorcisms, and at leasts has an idea of what they are, and if not, well then you're in for a treat.
             As I was researching different possession stories, I came across one about a young girl by the name, Clara Germana Cele. She was a 16 year old, Christian girl at the time, and attended St. Michael's Mission in Natal, South Africa. She was brought up in a very religious environment, and baptized as an infant. The article I found, said that Cele made a pact with satan when she was sixteen years old, in the year 1906, and that is what caused her possession to occur.
            There's many movies about possessions, and I've seen quite a few of them, but after reading what took place during Cele's possession, I was a little freaked out. In the article, The Possession of Clara Germana Cele, it says that "In an account written by a nun, Cele was able to speak languages of which she had no previous knowledge of." It went on to say that "she understood Polish, German, French, and many other languages."
            According to the article, it also says that Cele was able to prove her clairvoyant state by telling secrets of people whom she had no connection with before. She knew their most intimate secrets. Apparently, Cele could not stand the presence of blessed things, and would become filled with astonishing strength, and anger, by throwing nuns across the room, and beating them.
            A nun reported that when the young girl cried, she " had a savage bestiality that astonished those around her." The nun also wrote that, "No animal has ever made such sounds. [...] At times it sounded like a veritable herd of wild beasts orchestrated by satan had formed a hellish choir."
           Clara was said to be able to levitate 5 feet above the ground, which is seen in many famous possession storied and movies. It said that she would come down if sprinkled with holy water. The article, said that the girl would levitate horizontally, and vertically.
          Clara Germana Cele was the subject of an exorcism by Roman Catholic priests by the names, Rev. Mansueti, and Rev. Erasmus. After a forceful, 2 day exorcism, the demon was finally out of Cele's body, and she was healed.
                   That possession gave me chills. I always feel a little bit skeptical when it comes to these types of things though, just because you never really know what is true, and I have so many questions for it that it leads me sometimes to question the stories. I do feel like it is real, but it's hard to tell.  If you'd like to read more about it on the article I used, the link will be down below. Hope you enjoyed this terrifying story.
