In a since-viral video shared on social media circles last November 8, a Palawan State University (PSU) student from the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology (CEAT) can be seen incoherently screaming and behaving in an erratic way, including nearly hurling a chair, at a certain classroom in the new Architecture building.

The video also showed someone who appears to be a teacher instructing her classmates to assist the distressed student. She also offered a prayer for the young woman. In response, the classmates approached the weeping student.

She was seen too being embraced by her classmates while she continued to cry, shout, and at times, even burst into loud laughter. One individual approached her also, praying and asking for God’s help, as she continued to scream.

While speculations related to supernatural possession abound amongst professors and students, others point to a lack of a formal blessing to the aforementioned building, insufficient rest and nourishment, and the heavy workload those in the BS Architecture program are currently shouldering as probable causes.
