Passenger Possessed by Demons Forces Plane to Turn Around

An Air China passenger claimed to be possessed by evil spirits, and her behavior forced the pilot of the aircraft to turn around and return to Beijing on Wednesday.

The woman in her 50s passed out about 20 minutes after takeoff, and crew determined she needed medical assistance. She regained consciousness and fold flight attendants that her body was being controlled by evil spirits. She insisted that flight CA4102 continue to Chengdu.

Once on the ground the woman refused medical treatment because you can’t find demons with ‘medical checks’. In October a woman on a Cayman Airways flight caught the spirit of Jesus inside her. Perhaps that passenger would consider treating this one?

Passengers eventually were allowed to fly to Chengdu, arriving a little over 4 hours late.
