Does this video document a demonic possession in 1896? No, that's not true: The video was created with CGI digital effects as the account that published it in 2019 noted.
The claim appeared in a post published on Instagram on May 14, 2023. It opened:
This is so scary...

The caption on the post read:
Is this real? #scary #omg #creepy #clips #scared #scared #omgpage #insane
The short video of digital effects was originally published by the account MBGCORE on August 30, 2019 on YouTube without the caption about a demonic possession in 1896.
The MBGCORE Instagram account state they are "🇫🇷 CGI 🕊 3D Generalist" and they posted the video on April 18, 2023, with the caption, "Remember this ? Wallcrawler 👀🕸️"
Other videos by the same account posted on YouTube show similar Ringu-style footage, which is based on the Japanese horror film The Ring, and is a creepy black-and-white style.
