A Public Policy : Polling of October, 2012, showed that 63% of Americans age 18-29 believe that non-corporeal "demons" can take partial or total control of human beings. Many movies & TV series aimed at this age group reinforce this belief & it's accepted in some religions. It can also be a sign of mental illness. Since it interferes with your daily functioning, seek referral to a mental health professional.
