Possession… Virtually every culture and religion has conceived the notion of some Daemonic presence that takes control over a host body. Some cultures believe that possession is not exclusive to humans but animals, plants even inanimate objects like a chair or even this very computer can be possessed by some other-worldly force…
Some cases of human possession include the possession of a young boy, one “Roland Doe” as he is referred to, from Mt. Rainer, Maryland in 1949. The child suffered from a series of nightmares, the boy was taken to a mental hygiene clinic in Maryland for testing, overnight lesions where discovered on the boy’s body. At this point the reverend Schultz (the man who administered the boy to the clinic) took the boy to see a priest, one father Albert Hughes. The priest was granted permission to exercise the child on March 16 1949. Throughout the Ritual the boy thrashed violently, hissed and spat. ****** scratched depicting the words hell and demons were said to have appeared on his chest and the boy would scream out in pain as the priests carried out their incantation.
Another Famous and more recent case of possession was of a young German woman named Anneliese Michel in 1973. The girl began hearing voices and suffered from hallucinations which led to her developing suicidal tendencies. She was sent to an unnamed psychiatric hospital where she was prescribed several drugs ranging from antipsychotics to treatments for schizophrenia. She was exorcised on 1976. I have in my possession (no pun intended) the recordings of the girls exorcism. While the tapes were somewhat distressing to listen to, my views on Daemonic possession remained skeptical at best.
It was only when I had witnessed my first (and hopefully my last) real exorcism that my eyes were truly opened to the concept of Daemonic possession. The subject was a young girl living in the town of Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland. The girl will be referred to as “Jane Doe”.
Jane’s initial symptoms included auditory and visual hallucinations, lesions on her lower abdomen that resembled animal scratches and her hands and feet had entered necrosis. Jane had been committed to a psychiatric hospital to help deal with her problem. During the first few nights several inmates and one of the attending nurses had committed suicide. AS the days went by Jane’s condition worsened and her father took her to see a priest, one father Maclaughlin. Father Maclaughlin had obtained permission to perform an exorcism on Jane and I was sent by Carter and Chase to observe this spectacle on June 27. I must admit I was quite excited but once I had stepped into the room that housed that girl I knew I had come face to face with something truly evil. Jane had been tied to a surgical table and at the base of the table was a crudely chalked out pentagram.
What I witnessed was not the outburst of some poor schizophrenic child but something all together more horrifying. As the priests began their incantation I could see something writhing under her skin. She began hissing and growling in a language that was unknown to me. Her face contorted into a gruesome visage and she was looking right at me… no… she wasn’t looking at me… it was looking at me… it was clear that the girl was no more and what I was looking at was simply a vessel. There had been several attempts to exorcise Jane. One of which it had managed to break loose of one of her restraints and broke the neck of a young priest trying to restrain it. Each attempt it would look at me and twist its lips in a vile parody of a grin, always looking at me with those milky dead eyes. On the last attempt, June 30, Jane let out a horrified scream before slumping down lifelessly on the surgical table. As per Carter and Chase’s instructions I took the recording equipment and the girl’s body, despite the protests of the priest and the girl’s parents, back with me to the lab. A team would be sent to deal with them… if they were lucky…
After conducting an autopsy on Jane I discovered some disturbing results… Time of death was not June 30, judging by the rate of decomposition, time of death was put at June 22… cause of death was possibly a combination of dehydration and malnutrition… internal organs show advanced signs of decay, signs of cerebral atrophy were present... Whatever was inside her had managed to parody human behavior to some extent… if it had convinced the family that it was her and she had been released from the hospital… I dread to think what kind of evil would have been unleashed upon the world… I’ll start reviewing the recordings tomorrow
July 3 1984:
The video recordings proved to be even more unnerving than the actual exorcism itself… they say that cameras can detect things that are invisible to the naked eye… in this case they were right… the things that I saw, oh god, the final exorcism something left her body. A shadowy object that appeared for only a split second… and it was looking right at me the whole time. When I listened to the tapes I swore I could hear something calling my name. I’ve never been so frightened in my life.
July 7 1984:
One of my colleagues heard that Carter and Chase had sent Harry Logan to Carrickfergus… those poor *******s… a black ops team would have been a mercy.
November 19 1990:
Just heard a rumor that the men upstairs at C&C HQ are getting nervous. Apparently one of the 4R-K4M combat robots has become self-aware. I have dismissed this as utter nonsense. Yes the machines are programmed to learn, but that’s restricted to combat only and nothing else. Imagine if the coffee machine started contemplating the nature of the universe…
November 22 1990:
Word is we are being sent something from HQ, hopefully its some new computers. I don’t know how they expect us to conduct research with these outdated pieces of crap
November 25 1990:
The robot of all ****** things, they sent us the robot. Carter and Chase want me to analyze the damn thing. I don’t understand what it has to do with my research but I can’t really argue with them since at the end of the day they’re the ones funding my research.

The rumours are true, it actually thinks it’s alive. It has even constructed a vocal unit so it can communicate verbally in any voice it wants (I have had to ask it several times to stop using my voice). It seems to question the things it has done over the years and shows signs of remorse. I have found that this is not a standard K4M unit but the prototype. This artificial personality is probably a glitch in the software however it is reason enough for C&C to recall all K4M models for disassembly. Why they don’t just do the same with this one is a mystery to me. One of the assistants has nicknamed it Arkham (possibly due to its model number and the location of the lab that manufactured it)
