I am somewhat skeptical about the existence of evil spirits. I think about my cousin who hears voices. He takes medication for schizophrenia and is able to function. If he were from a family or culture that put credence in evil spirits he might not get treatment for his illness.f

Afzal...
I found this post interesting, always fascinating to hear of cultures different than my own. To answer your question, I believe that evil does exist...but at the same time I believe that humans have dominion over it should we choose to excercise that dominion. The presense of fear renders many people powerless against evil. In other words, fear is the fuel that evil is powered by. It is very difficult for evil to thrive in the absense of fear.

Albeit you may have been somewhat suspect
as to the powers this man held, a marvelous, mysterious, and interesting person touched your life (and a vivid memory at that). This alone makes him mystical as you still carry his memory with you. This was very well written.....

Hi .. I do believe that when our spirit is weak then our bodies follow. Perhaps he awakened the spirit in some people and enabled the body to heal through faith.

I don't believe that there were evil intentions behind this. And things like this do happen, though I don't particularly believe in anyone subjected to "evil spirits" so to speak...people can be subjected to evil from other people.
The blowing in the face thing would really get to me though.
