Question: why do fits look like you are being possessed

Antonia Hamilton answered on 14 Jun 2010:

In an epileptic fit, the information processing in the brain is all jumbled up and everything happens at the wrong time. So a person’s body could move in an uncoordinated way or they could make strange sounds. If you seen this and you don’t understand why it is happening (because of the brain) you might think that the person is possessed.
