    Abstract
    The focus in this case study is Sita, a 19-year-old young adult, who is possessed by a spirit. Sita identified the spirit as "Mahasohona," the demon that frequents graveyards and cemeteries. The cure was an elaborate 32-hour exorcism ceremony that included drumming, chanting, and dancing.
