 "Pin It")
Updated:
Some of the recent Paranormal State episodes have involved demonic possession, a condition either believed to be myth or fact. Movies like “The Exorcist” dramatically illustrate what can happen during a demonic possession, but also portray the eternal struggle of good vs. evil in such a way that some people cannot believe it to be an actual real occurrence.
Although exorcisms seem to be so far removed from ordinary life, I think that people would be surprised at the commonality of the event. It would not take much research to find a priest in your area that either can or has performed an exorcism. I met a local priest who, when asked, admitted to being present at an exorcism, but other than saying he strongly believed in good and evil and demonic possession, he was unwilling to discuss his experience. He said it was frightening.
Exorcisms like the one shown in the “We are Six” episode of Paranormal State show that truly removing a demon is difficult work. The movie “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” shows that a demonic possession does not always have a remedy and the final result can be tragic to the host. The real story of Annaliese Michel, whom the movie is based on, is even more disturbing than the film portrayal.
According to reports from the actual case, Annaliese was possessed by several demons including Lucifer, Judas Iscariot, Nero, Cain, Hitler, and Fleischmann, a disgraced Frankish Priest from the 16th century. Although four people were convicted of negligent homicide in the case, some of Annaliese’s injuries included the ligaments in her knees rupturing due to the 600 genuflections that she performed obsessively during each exorcism session. A genuflection is an act of reverence consisting of falling onto one or both knees (called a "double genuflection.” She was exorcised 67 times in 10 months.
Whether you believe she was really possessed or truly a victim of human negligence, the case is significant due to the amount of photography and audio evidence. Check out more photos and evidence from the case at chasing the frog.com
Be sure to check out the audio of her speaking in tongues here it is SUPER creepy.
So, do you believe in demonic possession?
It is very difficult to answer such a question especially when people would like to believe otherwise - that there's a God and that eventually good alone triumphs.
ReplyDeleteBut to give an answer , i would have to say no.I believe only in God . Also a firm believer in the whole karma theory , i believe a person gets what he deserves ,the only difference being the suffering they undergo .My mother died of cancer , and that too, was torturous. While acts of demonic possession may be scary , it is not possible to compare the sufferring with what other patients of well known diseases undergo.
If we are able to accept all that as scientific facts , then why not accept this too as a disease for which not many cures are known?
Of course , i know nothing about demonic possession , nor do i know anything about medicine , all this is just pure speculation.
Also , what is your answer?
ReplyDeleteThe write up doesnt really answer that.
Well, my answer really doesnt matter... its the discussion that matters....
Deleteyou cannot believe only in god, if you say that, then you must believe in the devil to. There is always a ying to a yang! Good to an evil. Do i believe in demonic possessions? Yes. I believe in the lord, therefore i believe in the devil and the tricks he plays.

ReplyDeleteI've seen the movie and believe me, it scared the hell out of me. True that there other entities living among us. I like the part were they featured a witness which was a guru of some sort. She emphasized the connection between science and the spiritual world which made sense.
ReplyDeleteYes, the movie was scary, the written reports from the real incident... scary as well... so interesting though
DeleteDemonic possession is real and should not be treated lightly. Think about the fact that our spirits merely possess this body and, when it dies, we move on. Demons can take possession in the same way. Usually it happens through invitation or by opening a door you shouldn't have opened, example, Ouija board.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. There is a lot of really scary stuff out there.. lying just below the surface...
