I’ve seen real demons during exorcisms… Here’s the most common type of possession

A priest involved with casting demons out of humans has shared the most common possession he has witnessed.

Reverend Chris Lee, the Anglican priest-in-charge at St. Saviour’s Church in England, recently spoke with UNILAD, pulling the curtain back on the reality of spiritual oppression, which he said is far more common than full demonic possession.

He described it as a subtle but persistent influence of evil that affects a person’s mind, emotions and spiritual well-being.

Unlike full possession, where a demon allegedly takes direct control of a person’s body, oppression is more about lingering negativity or interference.

It can show up as fear, anxiety, restlessness or a feeling of being spiritually burdened. 

Lee compared it to residual grime from a puddle, as the person is not overtaken, but traces of harmful influence remain and can affect daily life.

For most cases, Lee emphasized, prayer, blessing and spiritual cleansing are the typical ways to alleviate oppression.

Despite the rarity of full possession, Lee said he has seen real demons cast out, describing the experiences as tangible and unmistakable.

‘I have seen exorcism, I’ve seen demons be cast out of people and heard them speak, and it is real,’ he said.
