Exorcisms have been being performed since early history, the practice started to die
out by the 18th century but many high profile cases started to appear during the 20th century
due to media attention.
Exorcisms are performed for the purpose of evicting demons or spiritual entities from
a person who is believed to be under possession by the entity.
there has been much controversy surrounding exorcisms as many claim the "possession" symptoms
are only signs of mental illness.
after seeing these exorcisms let us know your opinions in the comments, do you think spirits
or demons exist and if so, do you believe they can possess humans?
5) Keyhole Exorcism this exorcisms occurred in november of 2014,
A 26 year old man by the name of daniel trochta was walking past a church when he heard a
woman letting out agonizing screams.
He then decided to see what the commotion was about and took a peak through the keyhole
on the door of the church, he saw a woman having an exorcism performed on her.
several people can be seen surrounding the woman as she continues to scream.
Once the footage was released more information was found out about it.
The church was a roman catholic church located in a czech town.
church officials and a catholic church priest confirmed that the exorcism was real but declined
to give out any information.
No more information has been released about the case.
4) Latin American Exorcism This video was released in april of 2016,
occurring somewhere in latin america the clip shows a young woman who is believed
to be possessed.
the woman is first seen sitting in a white circle this could possibly be "the magic
circle" this is used by practitioners of ritual magic, its believed the circle
contains energy and forms a sacred space.
The circle is usually outlined with chalk or salt.
During the exorcism blood starts pouring out the womans mouth she then begins to scream
and move her joints in an odd way.
After this one of the conductors makes her jump up and down and it then appears as if
she returns back to normal.
The crowd begins to cheer and the clip ends.
3) Anneliese Michel Audio This is most likely one of the most publicized
exorcisms in history.
We have done a video on this case before so we won't go into too much detail.
Anneliese was a german woman who underwent many exorcisms administered by the catholic
church in 1975.
At the age of 16 she had an epileptic seizure and was diagnosed with temporal lope epilepsy.
she was also diagnosed with depression and was treated at a psychiatric hospital.
by age 20 she began to hear voices and would become disgusted at the sight of religious
objects.
As her condition grew worse her parents feared that she may have been possessed by demons
so appealed to a Catholic priest for an exorcism.
After obtaining permission from a bishop two priests performed secret exorcisms on michel.
67 exorcisms sessions were performed on her, spanning over a course of 10 months they would
last for 4 hours and be performed two times a week.
On july 1st 1976 anneliese died in her home, she had died from malnutrition and dehydration
this was a result of her being in a semi-starvation state for almost a year.
Her parents and the priests were charged with negligent homicide.
We will now play a section of audio from one of the sessions, the demons which were supposedly
talking through her were identified by the priests as Lucifer, Cain, Judas, Hitler and
Nero.
2) Jinn Possession This exorcism occurred somewhere in the middle
east, there is very little information about the video but it is believed that the woman
is possessed by a jinn.
A jinn also known as a genie are supernatural creatures in early Arabian
and later Islamic mythology.
They are frequently mentioned in the quran and have been described as inhabitants of
the unseen world.
They are believed to come from a different universe beyond the known universe.
The Quran says that the jinn are made of a smokeless and "scorching fire" so this could
possibly some form of electricity.
Jinns can be can be good, evil, or neutral.
In this video the sheikh performing the exorcism asks the entity if it is a jinn which it replies
"i am izul" the entity then claims that it is taking care of the woman and insists that
it is not leaving the woman.
its unsure if they managed to cast the demon out as the clip ends while they are still
trying.
1) Young Girl Exorcism This video started circulating on facebook
in march of 2016, it shows an 11 year old bulgarian girl who
was supposedly possessed by 7 demons.
the girl can be seen on the floor violently coughing, a man can be heard in the background
repeating the words "blood of jesus" a healer can be seen placing her hands on the child
while saying "never again" by the end of the video the girl seems to be freed from the
demons.
Some have claimed that the girl may have just been suffering from a bad chest infection.
