The Eyes of an Infant

By Anonymous

I may have observed a brief possession in my infant foster child a few months back. I will relate the occurrence and let you decide. For a little background, William was shaken by his biological father to the point of near death when he was five weeks old. He has since mostly recovered and is only developmentally two to three months behind schedule.

On to the possible possession incident. One evening my wife had put Will to bed like normal. He was still adjusting to sleeping through the night. We heard him crying so my wife went to soothe him. She brought Will into the living room and sat down with him in her arms and he stopped crying. This is when my wife noticed his eyes. Will was staring at her with great intent. She asked me to have a look and see what I thought. I looked at Will. He was staring at my wife with what can best be described as malice - a wide-eyed, unblinking, focused gaze. He was only seven months old and had never given a look like that before. He especially liked to laugh.

Since his trauma, the doctor mentioned that he might have seizures. Staring was supposed to be a symptom. So I placed my hand between his eyes and my wife's eyes. At this point, he quickly changed his gaze directly to my eyes. It seemed as though he was looking with knowing eyes. It gave me goose bumps. His pupils were slightly dilated in the dim light. I turned the light on bright and his pupils responded by contracting, but his stare at me stayed the same until I moved my hand from blocking his view of my wife. When I removed my hand, he returned his gaze at my wife. It it was a seizure, his gaze would not have changed.

There was another thing that was disturbing. His breathing was almost like a pant. If you have seen "The Exorcist", that was the look and breathing Will had. Something was looking out of Will's eyes and continued so for a few minutes. My wife and I were spooked. However, this being my house, I would not allow such a thing to happen in it. So, in the name of Jesus Christ, I bound the evil entity permanently out of Will and asked the Holy Spirit to protect his soul. After speaking this a few times with increasing authority and conviction, Will's breathing returned to normal and his eyes softened. Within five minutes, his eyes were drifting into drowsiness. Will went back to sleep that night, but my wife and I couldn't sleep for a few more hours. Fortunately, the incident has not reoccurred.
