My son used to get night terrors. He would seem awake and he would scream and cry and you could tell his was terrified of something, but he was never fully awake and never remembered it the next day. It was awful to watch and I can’t imagine someone seeing a kid doing that and just saying “must be a witch. He can fend for himself!”
He's clearly communicating with the spirit world. His soul held to his body by a thin tether by virtue of his pact with Satan/s
But seriously, that's how a lot of people used to see epilepsy and stuff like that, as either being able to be possessed by spirits or be able to leave the physical realm and enter their world. It shows up in various cultures through the world. Some of these people are then venerated or damned depending upon the specific culture and condition.

Don't quite a few kids under 2 go through periods with those symptoms??
