CHINESE TEENAGER PARALYZED BY SMARTPHONE POSSESSED BY DEMON
Exorcist confirms evil spirit entered phone through TikTok app during midnight scroll session
SACRAMENTO, CA – A 17-year-old Chinese exchange student remains mysteriously paralyzed after what local exorcist Father Miguel Santos confirms was a demonic possession that entered through her smartphone during a late-night TikTok browsing session.
Li Wei was discovered by her host family at 3:33 AM on Tuesday morning, completely motionless in her bed with her iPhone still glowing in her frozen grip. The device was allegedly displaying a TikTok video that has since vanished from the platform entirely, leaving no digital trace of its existence.
“I heard this horrible shrieking coming from upstairs, like nothing I’ve ever heard before,” said Margaret Thompson, Li’s American host mother. “When I rushed into her room, she was just lying there stiff as a board, eyes wide open, staring at that phone. The screen was flickering with these weird symbols I’d never seen before, and the whole room felt ice cold.”
Medical professionals at Sacramento General Hospital report that Li shows no physical signs of injury or illness, yet remains completely unresponsive to external stimuli. Brain scans reveal unusual electromagnetic activity patterns that doctors describe as “unlike anything in medical literature.”
The case took a supernatural turn when Father Santos, a Vatican-trained demonologist, examined the teenager’s smartphone. According to Santos, the device exhibited clear signs of paranormal infiltration through the TikTok application’s algorithm.
“The demon exploited a vulnerability in the app’s code structure during what we call the ‘witching hour’ – between 3 and 4 AM when the spiritual veil is thinnest,” Father Santos explained. “These entities are increasingly using social media platforms as gateways into our physical realm. The endless scroll feature creates a hypnotic state that makes users particularly susceptible to possession.”
Investigation into Li’s TikTok viewing history reveals she had been watching increasingly disturbing content in the hours leading up to her paralysis. The mysterious final video, which multiple witnesses claim to have seen, allegedly featured backwards audio and inverted imagery that formed occult symbols when played in reverse.
Fellow students at Sacramento High School report that Li had been behaving strangely for weeks prior to the incident. “She kept talking about voices coming through her phone,” said classmate Jennifer Martinez. “She said the app was showing her videos she never searched for, really dark stuff about ancient rituals and demon summoning.”
Technology experts are baffled by the phone’s continued anomalous behavior. Despite multiple factory resets, the device spontaneously opens TikTok at exactly 3:33 AM each night, displaying a black screen with pulsing red text in an unknown language. The phone’s internal temperature spikes to over 140 degrees Fahrenheit during these episodes, yet the device continues functioning normally.
Father Santos has begun preliminary exorcism rituals, but progress remains slow. “This is unlike traditional possessions,” he warned. “The demon has anchored itself not just to the victim, but to the digital device. We’re dealing with a new form of technologically-enhanced evil that the Church is still learning to combat.”
Chinese authorities have remained suspiciously silent about the case, refusing to comment on Li’s condition or provide information about similar incidents in mainland China. Sources close to the investigation suggest this may not be an isolated event, with rumors of dozens of comparable cases being covered up by Beijing.
Li’s parents have flown from Shanghai but remain under strict hospital supervision after both suffered severe anxiety attacks upon viewing their daughter’s possessed smartphone. The device has been secured in a lead-lined container blessed with holy water, yet hospital staff report continued supernatural disturbances throughout the building.
The case has sparked renewed calls for investigation into TikTok’s mysterious algorithm and its potential exploitation by malevolent supernatural forces seeking entry into our world.
