A mum whose family believed she was "possessed by an evil spirit" was actually battling a rare illness - with symptoms straight out of The Exorcist. Stephen Gutierrez, 42, became terrified when his wife Lorina Gutierrez, 39, suddenly began "talking gibberish" and convulsing. Stephen, a truck driver, said his wife’s behaviour was so out of character he doused her in holy water, fearing she had been possessed by a demon. The mum-of-three believed there were cameras in every corner of her home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and yelled about “escape."
