In paranormal/spiritual terms..what does "oppression" by spirits mean?

Question

Please give an example. Thanks.

Answer 1

In my opinion, Oppression by spirits is usually a type of possession.

This possession has the person bending and swaying doing the evil or bad things the spirit or demon wants without actually having the demon or evil spirit internally in control.

Such an example is like the "Demon Murder Case"

This is where a boy plagued with hauntings of demons was forced to kill another boy to make the demon happy. The demon did this by speaking to the boy and haunting in an aggressive manner.

Answer 2

when I think interms of oppression or an oppressive feeling or entity I am referring more to a feeling.  It is a very heavy, thick feeling that almost clogs the pours.  It makes it hard to breathe feely and it is generally overwhelming.

Answer 3

I have been both oppressed and possessed by entities when I was a child..

I call oppression the state where the entity appears on the scene, and does anything it can do to frighten you or keep you on edge; but not fully possess you.

Answer 4

Oppression would mean having power over some one, to hold some one in a lessor regard as a slave,  or to force some one to work for you.  This would be the type of ghost like in the movie Poltergeist that held other ghosts/spirits under his power.  

My personal  opinion is that they do not exists, only you can give away the control of your spirit or soul.  People who claim to be under control of this type  of spirit need to suck it up and take back their power.  

Just like in real life, spirits will try to take advantage of you if you let them.  I think the practice of smudging with with sage or plants  for protection, is more of a statement  that I am in control here, not  the spirits.  It never hurts to reaffirm your control with a ritual like smudging and praying.
