Demonic possession?
You sound like you’d be right at home in the 16th century, when bigots burned someone who dared entertain a religious belief different from theirs. Yup, those bigots prayed, too; both before and after they burned their victims.

Jesus spoke about demonic possession:
Gospel According to St Matthew
Matthew 12
[43] And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none. [44] Then he saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. [45] Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation.
