A STUDENT became so ill after catching dengue fever on holiday that her friend thought about calling a priest - after filming her acting like she was possessed.

Cara Pyper had been in Bali, Indonesia, for two weeks when she suddenly took unwell after being bitten by a mosquito.

The 22-year-old developed a temperature, headaches, muscle pain and extreme fatigue, all common symptoms of dengue.

In a video taken by her friend, Abbi Whorriskey, also 22, the student can be seen waving her arms as if she was swatting flies while asleep.
