Mr Gao, another passenger on the plane, alerted flight staff when he noticed the woman passing out shortly after take off. The flight attendants tried to wake her up, but she didn’t have any response. ‘Her pulse was also very weak, so they gave her an oxygen mask. Then she woke up shortly,’ Mr Gao said.
The flight’s captain decided to fly the plane back to Beijing, their port of departure, so the ill passenger could seek medical assistance.. However, the woman refused to see the doctor, according to The Paper. She also requested to see the captain. ‘I have to be in Chengdu. There are things possessing my body and you cannot find it by health checks,’ she yelled.
According to The Paper, the passenger refused to cooperate and attacked an air security officer after the plane landed. A customer service officer from Air China told the reporter that the flight returned to the Beijing airport at 12:27pm, about 40 minutes after take off. The customer service officer didn’t comment on the passenger’s claim of being possessed by a demon. The officer said the passenger ‘experienced sudden illness’.
The incident caused a five-hour delay to the flight. It took off again at around 3:30pm and arrived in Chengdu at 6pm.
