It is also believed that ogbanje are born into the same immediate family all the time or it can even be born into an extended family. (add this part into the first paragraph)

Trying to identify an ogbanje can be a little difficult sometimes. Like stated before, some ogbanje have scars from mutilation. Other things that helped families identify them are birthmarks the child had, the first words they would say, and the behavior similarities from the child that has been reincarnated. Families paid a lot of attention to this type of stuff and most of the time go to an oracles to confirm that the child was an ogbanje. An oracles is a person who has a lot of wisdom and says to have communication with a deity. Another sign of an ogbanje is a child who gets very ill all the time. It has been said that the symptoms of the sickness matches the symptoms of sickle cell. The symptoms of sickle cell are dizzines, low oxygen in the body, pain in the joints or the chest, and fatigue. Other than gettin ill at times, ogbanjes are always getting into a lot of trouble. For example, a study mentions that a child was introduced into an ogbanje group after the death of one of his siblings and from there the child was always coming home late with their clothes ripped up or they were just having a lot of trouble school. The family then had a bigger problem with him because he had taken some type of weapon to school and that's when the child confessed to his family that he was introduced into an ogbanje group. (add into second paragraph)

Ever wondered how a ogbanje is born into a family? Well, ogbanje can be born into family from a spirit between birth and pre-birth. Another way a family has is by being introduced to an ogbanje group. According to a study, a young boy committed suicide and left a note that blamed his sister for his suicide. His father was an alcohol who wasn't around very often and his mother had a low income. The family started noticing an ogbaje in the family when the child's would go home late from school and when they found weapons in the child's school bag. The child then goes on to say that admit that he was introduced to an ogbanje group by his sister, which is the same sister who was mentioned in the suicide note. (add in after fourth paragraph)
