This is way over most people’s heads, definitely mine. There is a concept of dybbuk, some sort of spirit that possesses a person. There are real stories of real gedolim in the past who dealt with removing dybbuks. There have also been famous stories about dybbuks these days, I believe these were for the most part debunked as hoaxes.
Basically, the concept is real, but most ordinary LORs would not be seeing them or telling people about them. Perhaps someone great who is steeped in kaballa could deal with this concept.
Something about this story sounds fishy (pun intentional, for those who know what I am talking about). To encourage someone to give beyond the allowed amounts of tzedaka and damage his own family? This IMHO does not sound halachically sound.
