We recently presented an article on the exorcisms being conducted in Russian Orthodox Churches across Russia. Our contact, Eugene Safronov, who is an assistant to an exorcist at many of these services, provided us with a harrowing audio recording he made at one exorcism.

*warning - This recording may be disturbing to some listeners
Includes excerpts of actual exorcisms conducted by Russian priests. Eugene has acquired video from a Russian television news magazine segment about the church’s “battle with the demonic.” Eugene assisted in the production of the video segment, which appeared on the program Postscriptum with Alexey Pushkov, one of Russia's top weekly news programs.
(WARNING: May be disturbing to some viewers.)

Although some scenes of the exorcisms may be disturbing to some viewers, they are not as intense or incredible as other exorcisms that have taken place in the churches.
"On a scale of phenomena from 1 to 12," Eugene says, "the scenes in this video rank about a 6½ or 7." They do not show the full extent of what has happened in some cases, including physical changes in the victim and other more dramatic phenomena. In at least one case, Eugene says, the possessed person actually bent in two, head to toe – backwards!
I'm pretty sure this topic has been discussed before, but I saw the excorcism of Emily Rose few days ago which is based on true story and despite all the controversies I think the film is well made which is worth seeing it for just for the quality of the movie alone. I came across this article which I copied into a notepad which I lost the link to the actual site.

roflcopters why did I find this funny. Great post 1tym, I'm gonna try that exorcism on a few friends of mine, they all get pissed off at me all the time ><. Could you find a picture of a person bent in two, head to toe backwards? that would be freaking sweet ;D

Anneliese Michel is not the only one who have died from exorcism over the years. I recall hearing about some priest who killed a woman by putting a plastic bag over her head and then leaving here dead on the floor of the church waiting for her to ressurect. I think they jailed him when the body started to smell.
I would not say that all people that claim to be possesed by a deamon ect ect are mentally ill but I sure hope that they go and see a doctor instead of a priest when it comes to curing the illness.
Oh and I dont belive in such things as exorcisms and such things. And I hope than noone does.
EDIT: Interesting topic however and nice links.

Well, I think that exorcisms are real because the people who are "possessed" beleive they are real. There is nothing to create reality other than human perception, thus, if one beleives they are truely possessed, and they beleive only an exorcism will expell the demon, then its real enough for them, and thats all the really matters.

I'm not sure about all this. demons and spirits may well exist...funny how these kind of things always seems to evade science (not that science is THE truth), and recordings of the supernatural are always bad quality. Either because it's all a load of crap, or because these things tend to evade being scientifically proven.

on a scale of silliness from 1 to 12 this is a 10 or 11. 12 would be this.

exorcism is real whether you believe it or not. It doesnt need to be mathematically or scientifically proven for it to be real. Because it just exist, and demons do possess some individuals. Emily rose was possesed by not 1, but Five Demons. Cain, Lucipher, Judas, and 2 other guys. She tried to ride out the demons but they would not leave under any circumstances. Im Catholic/Christian so i do believe in exorcism.

I guess it's quite similar to healing and other "supernatural" religious things.
I still dont think people should tamper with it and ignore real medicine expertice as in most of these cases.

"In Scientology doctrine, Xenu (also Xemu) is a galactic ruler who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living, and continue to cause problems today."

not a big surprise that you also defy the rules of logic
the truth is, that you're just to naive or lazy to make up your mind and think
