Evidence On Exorcisms

1. A sixteen-year-old girl sits in a chair in a Russian Orthodox Church. She is being held down by her mother. Light filters in from high windows and the air is thick with tension and the smell of holy incense. A priest stands over her reading the rite of exorcism. The girl squirms in her mother's arms, groaning and growling as if the priest's words were a torment to her mind and soul. The girl struggles violently, her groans becoming inhuman howls and deep, guttural moans of psychological pain. Then she lashes out at the priest, and in a voice that seems not to be her own, spits words of defiance.  This is not a scene from a Hollywood production. This is a partial description of an actual exorcism that took place in a Russian parish on May 1, 2004

2. As I struggled with my decision, I turned to prayer. One night I was in bed and began my prayer for guidance. There was a gradual darkening of my room, like the clouds rolling over the sun, and I felt pressure in the room; my ears even popped. I continued my prayer and heard a faint rustling sound coming from everywhere it seemed. My prayer changed. I began to ask for protection and for whatever was happening to stop. I had chills and the hair on my arms and head felt charged with electricity. As I prayed for things to stop, I heard a short bark of laughter.   My eyes flew open. I was facing my closet, the door was shut, and although the room was dark and had taken on a hazy cast, I could plainly see what looked like black ink pouring out from underneath the closet door, from underneath my bed and my chest of drawers. Between seeing that and the atmosphere in the room, I was scared to death. I cried out in fright, "In the name of Jesus, be gone!"  There was a very loud boom and everything was back to normal
