You discuss demon possession in non-western nations as a frequent event. Is it possible we are overlooking the frequency of demon possession in western nations? Does demon possession always look the same? Is it possible demons are more successful in western nations because they avoid detection? I have suspicions because of my past experience in the charismatic movement from which I've been rescued. Consider the growth of spiritualism in the west. New ageism, rooted in eastern religion, has evolved and entered the mainstream. It has new names, such as charismatic, and flies under the radar using Christian terms and borrowing the credibility of the church. The ground had been plowed via the Pentecostal denominations in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
