There are a few well-documented cases where people have claimed to be attacked by djinn or genies in waking life, continuing different parts of the world.
In Europe, one noteworthy case comes from France. In the 17th century, a woman named Marie reported an encounter with a djinn. She described feeling an invisible force pinning her down while she was in bed. Marie’s case was documented by a local priest who performed an exorcism to address the disturbances. Historical records from this period show that many people believed in such supernatural entities, and Marie’s experience was taken seriously by her community.
In the Middle East, a widely known case comes from Jordan. In the 1990s, a young man named Ahmed claimed that a djinn was tormenting him. He experienced severe sleep disturbances, including feeling a heavy presence on his chest and hearing strange noises. Ahmed’s story was reported in local newspapers and was investigated by a team of researchers who specialized in djinn folklore. They conducted interviews and observed Ahmed’s symptoms, which he believed were caused by a djinn.
In America, there is a lesser-known but documented case involving a family in Pennsylvania. In the early 2000s, the Johnson family reported experiencing strange occurrences in their home, including objects moving on their own and unexplained noises. They believed that these disturbances were caused by a djinn. The family’s story was covered by local news and has been discussed in paranormal circles.
