In response to the post "possessed people", I would suggest that the writer think critically and ask a few questions. For example, did the girl cousin who is "possessed" know the cousin who was murdered really well?

In my experience, this scenario could be due to a few things. For example, it oculd be the result of paranioa or schizophrenia or another mental illness. Also, another thing that has become more frequent is for people to pretend that they are possessed, because they seek attention. Usually they are either lonely or depressed or even stressed about something in their life and want to see how much people care about them. In North America, a well trained psychiatrist can tell the difference between a well-played drama or an actual mental illness (they usually make these diagnosis in criminal cases). In any case, the cousin should seek medical help and turn her attention to gurbani.
