I've just been listening to Spectre v Rector. The rector is definitely possessed. I think it's the Rector who is blown against the wall, too. The "versus" bit between rector and detective is a confrontation, sure, but I think the spectre has is in for the Rector (which is why the title of the song is "Spectre vs Rector" not "Spectre vs Inspector"). I think song like this exists in the shadow of the movie The Exorcist. The priest-exorcist in that has encountered the demon in the child before. Likewise in this song I think there's a reason the spectre has targeted the Rector, but we're not told what it is. But "since Caesar" hints at something. So perhaps a previous exorcism carried out by the Rector (I see no reason to think MES is using "Rector" accurately, by the way), or something going much further back in which the Rector is seen by the spectre as a symbol or representative of a wrong done to it.
