A Haunting: The Possessed (2006)
Terrifying
I have been experiencing and studying supernatural and paranormal activity my whole life. At 40 years old now, I'll never forget this episode of A Haunting.
Before I finally located the episode after close to 15 years since I last seen it, I still remembered the name Mary Vogel.
The whole episode was well done. Very impactful storytelling and acting. But there is one scene that was absolutely terrifying to me the first time I saw it. Spoiler alert but I feel compelled to share it.
While she was picking up her son from a friends house I believe to take him home. The narrator described and the actors depicted an experience where Mary became posses by the entity when the son got in the car.
She stares at him demonically, and begins to drive home. The story goes that she maniacally navigated the brief car ride home, all while staring at the child next to her in the passenger seat.
They finally arrived at the home and the boy was said to have darted in the house. I believe they said he never spoke of it again, and Mary had no recollection of it.
Then, and now, it's absolutely terrifying implications at the true power of higher levels of wickedness. It gives hope to know that light and love can balance and ultimately banish those forces just a turning on a light switch in a dark room.
But these stories, as the opening credits read so well, are where we have to accept that the living personification of nightmarish places and beings actually do exist, and nothing to take lightly.
Like the movie Hereditary, I honestly don't feel like I want to see that episode again. It is that troubling.
