Abstract
Many cultures around the world believe in the spirit world and the ability of spirits to possess humans and alter behaviours. We present a case where the patient was of one culture but presented to a hospital in another country with altered mental state. Delay in establishing a diagnosis occurred due to language barriers as well as ignorance about the cultural context.
