Have you ever thought someone was not acting how they usually do? Maybe it is just something small, something, like a certain way the hold their pen, or cut their food, but you noticed that something was off. Pay close attention to them, but do not, under any circumstances, let them know you are watching them. If they know it is over. I’m not sure exactly what it is that takes over these people, but I know it isn’t human.

I have an idea, I could be wrong, and I wouldn’t mind if I was, but these things have been called many names over the years. Demons, changelings, and doppelgängers are perhaps the better known names. But it isn’t a double, so it isn’t truly a doppelgänger, something is taking over bodies of people every day.

There seems to be a time frame on the length of time these things can take over a body. The longest I’ve seen has been about a week, maybe a little longer. Then, they just leave. The person they have taken over is none the wiser. In fact, they feel like they have either just lost a day, or gained one. I have seen it more than once that a person would think it was one day but be a completely different day. That is a sign the person has control over his or her body again.

For the most part, these beings seem to be benign, but there has been some rather famous cases where they were far from passive and passionate. A wonderful example would be Ron Defeo; a man who shot his entire family, afterwards calming he didn’t know what had happened or what day it was. He was a day behind for a week, until he finally realized what had happened. It was then, and only then that he had confessed for killing his family. But there had also been some other claims that a spirit had made him do it. And a spirit had.

Well spirit isn’t the best word, being would be better. I only saw these things once, which is how I know that they exist. It lasted for just a minute before everything returned to normal. A bright light flashed in front of the person’s face, than they were acting as they always had. The queer qualities they had were gone, besides the ones they had before the being had gained access to her body.

It is because of this that I believe these things are what we have been told are angels. It the light wasn’t a pure yellowish-white I would say it would have to be evil. But, for the moment, I saw something that made me feel at peace. But what frightens me is why do some do awful act, and is there a way to know which will do what?

Perhaps the angels get corrupted by the body they inhabit. If that is the case, than that would explain why a fallen angel becomes the way it does. Either way it doesn’t matter. Something else is taking over your body when you are unaware of it happening. Or the person who sits next to you at work could have something else pulling the strings, and who is to say the one in control won’t be another Ron Defeo?
