Audience Members “Possessed” During a Screening of THE CONJURING 3? [Video]
Last week, reports emerged out of Jakarta that several audience members at a screening of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It were “possessed” by evil spirits. A video of the incident went viral on Tik Tok.

The Jakarta Post reports:
The TikTok video posted by user @witeewitee went viral as she showed how the movie was stopped midway and several moviegoers gathered around someone who was screaming and shouting as if possessed.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It opens with a terrifying exorcism scene where an evil spirit appears to jump from one person to another.
The video of the Jakarta incident, however, isn’t terribly convincing. While it does indeed show a crowd gathering after the movie had been paused, I can’t hear any screaming. No one appears extremely panicked, and even the person taking the video can be heard laughing.
