Clarita Villanueva

There is a story from the Philippines about a 17 year old girl called Clarita Villanueva that became almost legendary. 

She was found by police to be so hysterical that she was put in a jail in Manila. Clarita was always screaming and in constant fear by something invisible around her. She described two malicious entities, that only she could see, who were violent. One of her spirit attackers, she had said, looked like a "dark man with curly hair all over his body" and the second attacker was "angelic" with "a big moustache." 

Later it was discovered that there were a number of other invisible creatures with fangs tormenting her. It was noticed that bite marks appeared over her hands and arms, which she could not have done herself while wearing handcuffs. There were strands of non-human hair that she'd pulled from one of the entities. 

While others assumed that she was ill, a visiting pastor called Lester Sumrall considered that Clarita was possessed by demons. So the pastor worked on removing the demons from her until she was freed. There are so many unpleasant creatures of folklore from the Philippines, including the Aswang, (a vampire ghoul) similar to the creatures who attacked poor Clarita. It may or may not have been the same thing!
