Creeps, true stories from Reddit (Second book)

My friend got possessed at a party

so while at a friends party at our other friends house, my friend who we'll call Josh, was drinking along with everyone else but he started acting really strange and creepy. The Girl who was having the party who well call Jamie had a really nice house on a beautiful property with a small cliff, (15 foot drop) down to a river. Josh wanders off from the group and Jamie notices and is concerned along with everyone else, eventually she finds him about to jump off the cliff, grabs him and brings him back to the house. So everyone is really creeped out at this point and all of us (no more than 15 people) are sitting inside trying to figure out why the fuck he was trying to jump. Josh starts mumbling about how "this man down in the river told him to jump off and come be with him" and we're all freaking out. We try convincing him (and ourselves) that this man isn't real and he's just drunk and depressed. And then josh says "no, no trust me he's real, he gave me a really nice hug but now my back hurts" I immediately lift joshes shirt to see scratches all over his back, not just light scratches either, the welts left behind came up a good couple millimetres off of his skin (the scratches were three long lines going a few inches down his back but they were everywhere and going in every direction and crossing over each-other, thus making it impossible for him to have done it himself) we eventually get him into another room and try to calm everyone down by putting on a movie, a few minutes in Josh is staring at this painting on the wall and lo and behold is of the river on the property and he says the man is in the picture, Josh starts speaking in a language one of us identified and Russian out of nowhere, and then some even creepier shit happens he sees a bible on the table and starts going crazy and screaming at it, then out of nowhere he starts quoting bible verses word for word. We confirmed they were word for word with the bible on the counter, . Later on we are all sitting on the couch and he complains about his leg hurting and he look and he has identical scratches all over his leg now which no one saw before, and even later on after he's calmed down and he breaks the silence in the pitch dark room full of 15 people and says "the man is downstairs" and he then begins to describe the exact layout of the room "the man" is in, even though this is his first ever time in the house. We get freaked out and turn the lights on, and then josh flops off the couch he was laying on onto the floor and starts crawling slowly towards the stairs leading downstairs, me and another guy immediately hop on top of him to stop him from crawling down there, but josh, not the heaviest or strongest guy keeps crawling like it's nothing... with me (170 pounds) and my friend who had to be around 140 pounds. So more people pile on top and we eventually pick him up and hold him on the couch until he passes out. The next morning after getting the worst sleep ever even with a knife by my side, I ask josh what the fuck happened last night and he says he has no recollection, I ask him if he knows Russian or if he knows any bible verses and surprise surprise he doesn't. So yeah thanks for listening to my terribly written story and yes this is true and terrifying.
