Shattering the Illusion: Exorcism and the Truth About Possessions

from The Why Files: Operation Podcast · host The Why Files

Here's how it starts. Maybe it's your mother or maybe your sister. She starts complaining of headaches and strange tingling sensations in different parts of her body. Her discomfort escalates. She complains of hallucinations; she starts hearing voices. Then the seizures begin. She has trouble walking and eating. And maintaining control of her bladder. The seizures become violent. She thrashes around her bed for hours. You try to restrain her, but she suddenly has impossible strength. Her moods become erratic. She swings between fear and anger and sadness. Her speech becomes ragged and deep. She has sudden outbursts where she barks out phrases in Latin and Aramaic; languages she doesn't speak. Then, for no reason at all, the symptoms suddenly stop. And she's back to her normal self. Frightened and exhausted, but it's still her. Her doctor can't find anything wrong with her. Psychiatrists and neurologists can't explain what's happening. This scenario happens to hundreds of families every year from all over the world; of every different culture and religion. And when this *does* happen to someone you love, and there's nobody else to call; you call an exorcist. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support
