The expression "HAVING" demons in the Bible can be attached to a person whom:

Biblical evidence

For example, there was a man "HAVING demons" (Luke 8:27), and it was said of him that "many demons ENTERED INTO him" (Luke 8:30). Later, "the demons, HAVING-COME-OUT from the man, entered into the pigs" (Luke 8:33).

Another example: there was a "son HAVING (a) mute spirit" (Mark 9:17). Jesus "rebuked the unclean spirit, saying (to) it “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you — COME OUT of him and ENTER INTO him no-longer”. And having-cried-out, and having-convulsed (him) greatly, it CAME OUT." (Mark 9:25-26).
