Just want to respond to the last two comments. I guess I wasn't clear that she did see a doctor, they just said that nothing was wrong with her. We suggested she get a second opinion and she refused. We could have pressed harder, but the school had a terrible insurance plan so I think any time we pushed, she just cited concerns about coverage and we backed off. College kids in the dorms don't discuss their relative financial situations since everything is through the school. She also refused to talk to her parents. We wanted to talk to her parents ourselves, but we didn't have their contact info. Before you ask, she didn't have a cell phone, so we couldn't just look there. Regarding Heather's comment about continuing to react the way she wanted, I said in the story that this was all during spring semester that year. Our semesters were only 15 weeks, which isn't really a long time, and this didn't even last the entire semester. I'd say the fainting went on for maybe a month. I don't remember exactly when I stopped believing her, but it was pretty early on. I can't tell you why the others played along as long as they did. This was 7 years ago, we don't really discuss it anymore. As for the whole demon thing, that was REALLY not long, I think maybe one or two weeks. I know I expressed some concern about this and told her to see someone, she refused, then there was the whole "exorcism" with the priest, then she was normal. Well, aside from the shoe-throwing.

If you tried and she refused, why'd you continue reacting the way she wanted you to? I’m trying to figure out why the rest of you didn’t insist she see a doctor.

If a friend is fainting, and seeing things after being normal, why wouldn't you take her to a doctor. It is possible to know when you are going to faint, then get ready.
