- The ancient rite of casting evil spirits from the possessed is on the rise in the United States. Historically, demonic possessions have been used to describe mental or physical illnesses and even strings of bad luck, but the scientific community has debunked many of the outdated convictions.
With the U.S. being home to 20 percent of the world’s exorcists, VICE investigates why the phenomenon of exorcism is on the rise. We speak to Father Lampert, a member of the International Association of Exorcists and Michael Shermer, a former Evangelical Christian and founder of Skeptic magazine, to see why the modern exorcism is thriving in the West.

Person: Do you even lift bro??
Priest: No, I exorcise...
미혜 lmao wtf🤣
Now this is a good joke 😂
미혜 that’s pretty funny
That's actually pretty good
Uggggggggggghhh
My professor in religion and ethics told us of his first time seeing an exorcism when he was in college he assisted a pastor with some deacons in casting the demon away through songs and prayers. The possessed man turned to their side and said in a demonic voice "You're praying to cast me out when you're cheating with your wife?" then one of the deacons got up and was too terrified he walked away.
Now that’s a real possession!
Yeah. My grandma told me stories about possession from back in the day. She said on day there was a witch in the church. A little lady who started to scream in a very loud weird voice. She said it took 5 big grown black men to hold her. She said as the woman was being prayed for her arms and legs were growing and stretching and moving like snakes. She said during the initial scuffle the woman was able to throw a man or two until they all grabbed her. I've seen some crazy things myself and experienced some crazy things. So absolutely I believe that there are personalities outside of our ability to comprehend that are able to over take human facilities. I mean... UFO and UAP phenomenon show some of the same freaky instances, as well as the power of Jesus being something able to combat and stop UFO visitation. But no one talks about that either. The true fool is the one who says... Oh there's nothing but this... Good luck.
@@demetriushuffman7030 you are 100 percent correct...
That's why it's important to go to confession before attempting exorcism. You have to be worthy enough so the power of God can flow through you Oh I remember, they don't have that. Not surprised..
@@jeshan0659 I’m not sure what that last part was but there is actually a requirement for you to be in a state of grace before performing an exorcism so you’re right about that
Father Vince was the priest at our church for many years, he actually baptized my son. He's a very interesting man. Very dry and matter of fact, but funny (as you can tell). My favorite thing he ever said about exorcism is that people get it in their head that he's gonna show up and swing dead chickens around by their necks and burn sage or something. People are surprised that exorcism is actually just prayer and faith in God. His stories are incredible, but told like it's just another day at work. He's wholly unaffected by the stunts of Satan, just another day at the office. If you meet him, you'd completely understand why he was chosen for the role. Amazing guy. One day he rang my doorbell and I thought, "oh shit... there's an exorcist on my porch. This can't be good." He was just returning my ID that I dropped at church. 😂 Normal everyday guy. My family and I are big fans.
You're lucky. I like my pastor and have no problem with him, but I definitely wouldn't mind having this kind of guy at my parish.
"show up and swing dead chickens around by their necks and burn sage or something." ngl i would pay to see that
The last part 🤣😂🤣
@@abrokeartist1664 ..they dont do that
@@mickfizz1 I realize. For I am 💫*religiously involved*💫
i like how vice conveniently left out how in the Catholic Church anybody who says they need an exorcism has to go through extensive medical and psychological examinations to make sure that what they are experiencing is definitely not a mental illness
Except that’s not always true, especially if the family is close to the priest of their parish.
I’ve known kids who have gotten them and not had a psychiatrist evaluation. Also you can read stories of ex Catholics who say the same things.
@@KatRunion Then they were lying. First off very few priests are actually exorcists. Secondly it is a law in the Church that a priest HAS to obey (or they could lose their job) to get a med and psych eval before an exorcism and even then, any priest chosen to be an exorcist has been chosen for being prudent.
@@liambrunner3026 yes it was the poor people and children lying about being abused by the Catholic Church. Because priests can’t be evil! Tell that to all the abused children and adults. And the single mothers and babies they killed in Ireland. 🙄🙄
@@KatRunion well those cases by the catholic church are seen as wrong so your comment is hearsay.
The guy just said he witnessed a demon levitating lol I don't care how many psychiatrists have not given a satisfactory diagnosis, if you take any scientific validation seriously, your position would be 'we don't yet know how to diagnose this'. Otherwise you are just using scientific prudence when it comes to proof and evidence and say 'heck well than it must have been magic!' lol I think demons corrupted your logical thinking
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled off was convincing people he’s not real!!
Said only by a religious people 😂
Cbegley 84 that’s what I repeatedly said while I was under possession! Jesus is real too though!!! Thank God!!!
Cbegley 84 And , the greatest trick the devil also has pulled off was convincing people than he is STRONGER than the Lord God Almighty. So that’s why much of this is bullshit. The devil is a defeated foe.

yeah he was super nice..used to visit me when I was locked up..great guy!
ZZZ2573 Maybe that's because they often get caught touching little boys.

Joelajuie Pdp the thing is, pedophilia is rampant whether or not people believe in a God. So hasty generalizations on just a certain group of people because of a few is wrong.

You put Bob Larson's dumb ass in your video? Weak.

Aka vice exclusively investigates the Catholic ideas of exorcism, but good on the science.
I hope you guys explore this exorcism topic
No surprises here. Half of the USA doesn't believe in climate change. It's safe to say the population is severely unscientific.
Can we just get a Netflix film or series based on this priest’s experiences, so Colm Feore can portray him?
Mark Proksch would also be amazing.
Netflix is on the other team.
There is a dramatic re-enactment of Father Lampert's exorcist training and the case he described in the later part of the video. The show is Paranormal Witness and the episode is appropriately titled "The Exorcist".
Rite on Netflix is about an exorcist.
Not sure if this is on Netflix, Priest is a good korean series. It's a thriller-medical drama about a doctor and 2 priests that protects people together at a Catholic hospital.
Damnit now I have to rewatch the video because I was too busy reading comments and not paying attention to the video.
aahahahh same
Chelsee Lynn look at it again and pay attention
Ok
That happens lol
i do that way too much lol the rececption to other humans being is sometimes more interesting and fascinating than the material itself
I want Vice to give me more of these types of videos.
for real! I miss the old days of Cannibal Warlords in Africa and Voodoo Shamans in Jamaca
those were they days ^
+Mihajlo Dosen when they used to go to the dangerous parts of the world, not make shitty videos :(
Exactly, the whole reason I was attracted to Vice was for their off-shoot news reporting on cool and unusual topics throughout the world. Now they have become a cesspool of liberal media (I wish they just got away from politics completely), videos about weed, and just random things that offer no real value to the viewer. Honestly, Vice became a sell-out, losing the basis of what grew their channels reputation to what will get them more views
yes
It is hard to believe in the paranormal until something paranormal happens to you. Never close your minds to the possibilities.
LittleMissFacts all figments of your imagination.
LittleMissFacts I agree, I NEVER believed in the paranormal due to being an Atheist. About 10 years ago, my girlfriend and I were experiencing strange events in the house (seeing/hearing things). Then it got physical when I had something pinch my butt and rub my lower back, but nothing was there. The next year we moved to a rough part of Atlanta and everyone who lived there said something evil is out at night and to not go out. We laughed it off still not fully believing the previous events. Then all three of my animals died 8 days a part and for all different reasons (I had my dog for 13 years, my one cat for 10 years, and the other cat for 2 years, so it has nothing to do with age). We had more paranormal things happen then my mom experienced it a couple of times. Whatever this is has followed us place to place over the last decade. I’ve also had dreams of “demons” attacking me on numerous occasions. It isn’t as bad since we moved from that bad part of town (6/7 years ago) but we have experienced strange things since then and especially here recently (DVD’s went flying across the room for no reason).
I still don’t fully believe what we’ve experienced, but I can’t explain it either. We don’t have the answers for everything so who knows what is really out there?
It's funny how "Paranormal" occurrences are always things like a door shutting by itself (explainable using physics), a cold chill when alone at night and the feeling of being watched (explainable using psychology and biology), why don't ghosts lift up a car or something?
@Deutscher Thanos thanks Captain obvious
@@taylorsmith7034 I too have experienced things with several people present that we can not explain. Multiple times. Anyone that claims a title like atheist, or they say [fill in the blank] isn't possible, are close minded. The most intelligent thing you can say is I just don't know. Even science has "proven" that there are multiple dimensions. We can't see the dimensions, but it does not mean that they do not exist. This includes intelligent beings that may, or may not exist on an alternate plane. Some people call these beings demons. Also, science changes with better technology, and research quite often. Nothing is definitive except death, and even death could be just part of our evolution.
I have had first hand experience with a demon. It's nothing like in the movies. I did experience temperature change, felt like something was breathing in my face and there were growls and a sense of anger. I saw absolutely nothing, no hideous creature, it was invisible. When I spoke the name of Jesus it went ballistic but it never touched me. It ended up going down the hallway into a bedroom. The door slammed and you could see the door move like someone was punching the door from the other side. When my friends and I prayed it started crying out, like it was multiple voices. God can give you strength in these times and fear is gone. After it's over then your mind freaks out.
I think I’ve seen demon manifestations as well. I met this one guy who hated when I talked about the Trinity. Eventually I tried casting out the spirit he was talking to; it took three hours before everything stopped and during that time, this boy tried to curse me. It didn’t work, but by the end of the conversation I was physically and spiritually exhausted.
@@jillianh7565 you were super patient, wow, I don’t know what to say but I’m glad the Holy Spirit helped the guy out.

Exorcisms aren't allowed to be recorded to protect the one being exorcised from ridicule.

@@cultofthevoid5677 very convenient. Not to say people's privacy isn't important, but there's a perfect excuse to prevent evidence or investigation. These people need physicians, therapists, and psychologists. No one, and I mean no one, needs an exorcist.

That's gold that freakin made my day, I am so telling a priest this joke tomorrow
I appreciate vice giving an even take on a truly extraordinary phenomenon.... I understand they still benefit from pushing a certain position, but this felt as close to a journalistic approach as I have seen in a long time.
But it's not extra or ordinary not a phenomenon. It's a spiritual evil spirit that has a personality. Atheists should really stop injection nonsensical terminology that doesn't make any sense.
For the non believers. My sister is a licensed psychologist, and she herself admits that exorcism isn't performed randomly. You need to present medical and psychological information that proves that medicine can't help you, and the priest is not just any priest because you need to file a permission to the Vatican and they themselves will contact a exorcist priest near to your hometown.
@Ylle Taaber you're the one who's wrong, any sensible priest won't just randomly perform an exorcism just to be filed charges when that person they are trying to heal die. Don't talk nonsense, you're one of the people who's staining the Catholics reputation by being so orthodox and narrow minded, In today's era you need scientific evidence first and to follow the law before relying to faith.
@Stephanie Lim So you Don’t support the LGBT community?
@@logans.butler285 huh? What does it got to do with exorcism?

信则有，不信则无
Many people downright mock & ridicule not believing in demonic possession however I experienced a horrific demonic possession of my very young daughter. She verbalized incidents she had no possible way of knowing including things that took place when I was little ... she had absolute knowledge at that time of horrific things and stating unsettling ugly statements. I was just a single mother of 3 children and gathered my other 2 children while we prayed over my daughter asking God to place his hand on this situation. We prayed 5 hours for her until she said "mommy, he's gone." Faith is soooo important.
ill take things that didn't happen for $300 Alex..
@@linksys43 lmao exactly
Thanks for sharing. Don't be discouraged by ignorant folks
Yeah, I imagine that she probably got tired of you guys acting that way for 5 hours, so she said something to get you guys to stop acting that way.
I am so glad your daughter is OK now! 🌝🌈🇺🇸
I grew up as a Catholic, got into Pentecostal churches, then went back to being a Catholic. The priests in the Catholic church are less concerned about converting people to their faith and more about helping people in the community, even if they are not Catholics. Catholic priests, especially the Jesuits, have no problem relying on science and psychology and believing experts in the field. In fact, in my university, our President back then was a priest with a doctorate in Physics. They are definitely more open-minded and temperate than Pentecostals based on my experience.
Speaking of exorcisms, my Jesuit priest friend told me that exorcisms in the Catholic church are documented. They have videos of the sessions, though not publicly available I suppose. He told me that one of the cases involved a baby that could lift a fridge. It sounds funny when I type it here, but when he told me it was documented on video I got scared a little bit.
Anyway, healthy skepticism is good. That's how we avoid accidents and injuries. The priest himself said it, most claims of demonic possession are fake and needs mental health support.
The Jesuits are wonderful. I work in a health care facility for aging Jesuits and they’re all wonderful people.
i too love the Jesuits
Hi Jin!
@@mariago118 hey hey!

Pleasantly surprised by how fair the Catholic Church was treated in this video.

You mean where they sucked up to the "church" and normalized its preying on mentally ill people? The part where they sensationalized these so-called "possessions" for TV in a desperate move to make Catholicism seem relevant?
@@letolethe5878 Catholicism is pretty relevant to its 1.3 billion adherents worldwide and the billions of people who are impacted by its charity as the largest charity organization in the world. Not to mention everyone in the West profiting from values and institutions that came directly from Catholic foundations. So yeah, the Church doesn’t really need to be relevant, it just is.
@@strive4252 and how much wealth does the Catholic church hoard in comparison to how much it gives away via charity?
Does anyone want to talk/learn about God and Jesus? God and Jesus both love you and can help you with whatever you may be going through! Especially if you don’t believe
I don't care who you are, or what your religion is, or isn't, evil is real.
Deavon Manson To a relativist it is, but at least you acknowledge it exists.
Deavon Manson Do you believe in love? God? A spirit world?
Evil is a relative term. It all comes down to each persons moral compass. So, I may see rape as evil, but someone who was brought up differently will not. Hence, there is no exact definition of evil so it can be argued it does not really exist.
GodIsImaginary
I am not a relativist, but I agree that if you are going to say morality is relative, the logical conclusion is to admit that it does not exist at all, not admitting this is nothing more than cowardice, and being intellectually disingenuous. Wanting to have your cake and eat it too.
There is no evil but Benefits. In the eyes of animals we are the one took away their land. Human
Back in the 70s in my dads village in Greece there was an lady who was in here 70s and was possessed. My father told me the story and can tell he was freaked out by it but basically he was one of 4 men restraining this little old lady in the church during the exorcism who was freakishly strong and happened to be speaking in Different tongue. so how does a little old lady from a remote part of the world who had no form education suddenly start speaking a different language. Yes this stuff is all fake guys until it you see it then it changes your perception real fast.
This isn’t evidence of anything . My grandma has dementia and bipolar disorder and when she gets flare ups she starts yelling in a weird made up hybrid of slurring Arabic, French, and English tht can’t be understood and gets extremely strong and takes multiple people to hold her down . She is not possessed she is just very sick

I am a church reader and I believe in the existence of demons and possession, made a video about it.
However, I must say, I really like the skeptic in this video. He wasn't noxious, he was well argumented and very well spoken. I wish we could have more such honest dialogue.

@@jd3jefferson556Amen
I’ve seen the possessed, someone that has opened their mind to the demons. I dated one, claimed to be Christian and wasn’t. It hits different when the person you like blacks out then you literally talk to a demon. The thing is that I felt the change, and it was all over video call. I felt chills. After I got out of the relationship, I decided to devote my life to God, and I have no regrets. To everyone, He loves you.
Just thinking about it now, I really see areas where she was possessed and the effects that it had. She gave herself to the evil one btw.
Yeah she's making the decision to go to hell. It seems that a christian will have to sacrifice themselves very much to allow God to save her through the christian and God doing all the work and Glory amen. However this would also take sacrifice from a human. And I honestly would not pray for her. I don't think she's lost but I don't want anywhere near her.

You people need to know the truth!!
There is no such thing as “energies”.
This is what I know, it’s only truth.
Demons exist, sometimes they come to you as a dead family member, and many times they act like a “good spirit” but in reality they hate and want you killed, they hate God, this they hate his creation. Now there are souls around that aren’t demons, they cannot tough or harm us, but they like to mess around with humans with physical objects, they cannot come to you as a dead family member, however they can talk to you through the satanic games.
These souls are of ex witches who have made a Covenant with Satan so that they wouldn’t have to go to hell right away. And yes, God and Jesus are real, and they created all of us. Before we came to earth he knew us, we were little spirits in his being, he takes one out and soes it to a physical cell and then that’s how we get here... anything else you want to know?
How’s Life How did you acquire knowledge of the inner workings of satanic pacts if they weren't written in the Bible? Because. It seems like you just made that up.
How’s Life Also God doesn't sew us onto anything that's absurd. The spirit tether is not a literal piece of string.
Something that crossed my mind was when Dr. Shermer brought up the point about confirmation bias and "only seeing what you want to see." I realized that the same thing could be said for skeptics. They choose not to believe and so they only see what confirms this bias. Unfortunately I have to give more credit to the priest than the skeptic because the priest does acknowledge that the overwhelming majority of cases are fake, however, the skeptic writes all cases off as fake without keeping an open mind to possibly being wrong. He also mentions things that we can't explain yet, for the sake of an argument, couldn't supernatural stuff fall into that category?
People do not believe for a reason. People who have faith do not believe due to reason. Lol
@Martin Luther , lol. I don't need faith anywhere in life. You cannot even prove your Jesus did everything he supposedly did. Those are all just stories. I came out of that toxic faith years ago, and I'm glad I did. Now, I don't need to stop using logic on certain things like Jeessssus. Lol. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid.
@Martin Luther btw, nice strawman there. Who said skeptics believe that we came from nothing? Lol. Ever heard of Krauss? Ever heard of Caroll? Lol. I guess not. Keep dreaming.
@jyuean but it doesnt happen that the demons do this and so what are you trying to say here ?
@@lug.5329 hmmmmmmm .. i do have faith and i also believe for reasons .
"Once you start to believe in something the confirmation bias kicks in" for someone who is supposed to be smart he seems to not realize this goes both ways. He has a very clear bias, you could give him absolute 100% proof and he would deny exorcisms are real.
Well there's always excuses, and also ways to coerce and silence anyone and anything. So yeah.
every single piece of evidence that people have presented in favor of the supernatural has been proven to be false.
@@ITI-xi5zx lol no but keep coping
@@ITI-xi5zx I hope you experience it one day, then we’ll see.
@@ITI-xi5zx There is always a possible naturalistic explanation for claims of the supernatural, but that doesn't amount to "proving" that competing supernatural explanations are false. You're just begging the question, and assuming that the supernatural doesn't exist if you really think there's no evidence for it.
Science doesn't even "prove" its own theories, anyhow. It only falsifies, and does so by showing that a theories' predictions don't hold up to empirical data. In the case of an idea like, "spiritual forces can sometimes influence our world", science could never falsify it. It doesn't make any predictions that can be tested scientifically. It isn't science, so it's nonsensical to hold it to scientific standards.
And unless you begin by assuming that the natural world of science is all that there is, then to think that "unscientific" equates to "untrue" or "unknowable" is just absurd.
I find it odd, that if non belief can leave you open to possession, then why is it only the followers that become possessed?
pointlessness
Yes, people that commit hateful acts are not made from broken families, bad influences, lack of education, getting abused as a child or things like that its demons, dummy.
lol thats a great point.
Someone got his ass triggered and should crawl back to his cave
1) So that a person of faith knows what to do with the suffering their under (offering it up in prayer for another)
2) but the issue here is that most people who aren't of faith are more likely possessed but don't know it. It manifests in so many different ways where people will chalk them up with other actual mental illnesses, mood swings and depression, as well as unexplainable supernatural occurrences that they think calling psychic will fix (which makes it worse).
I love how the "skeptic" tries to explain protestant nonsense such as 'speaking in tounges' as if thats connected with actual exorcisms at all.
The exorcist would absolutely agree that these charismatic protestant practices are nonsense.
It seems like the skeptic needs to mind his own business? Why is he so obsessed with disproving the beliefs of others.? I read this as deep insecurities.
@J speaking in tongues when praying is the Holy Spirit not demon
This is glossolalia, a device of the Pentecostal beliefs of some congregations within that Protestant faith. Evangelicals who take cues from Pentecostal beliefs and practices also make use of it. This isn’t the Speaking in Tongues the Catholic Church understands the Bible is talking about. Catholics believe this to be one of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, but not in the way Pentecostals understand it. Catholics believe it to be the miraculous ability God the Father grants through the Holy Spirit to those sanctified to proceed with the Mission of the Church, the mission to make of all peoples believers in Jesus Christ. It is the actual ability to speak in or be understood in languages you don’t know. It’s the first power the Apostles were given when the Holy Spirit first came to them.
@J i think they do it for attention. It's very distracting.
@@michaelvasquez9677 by skeptic you mean the doctor in psychology, right? He investigates this bullshit because he, like most smart people, find religion and their crazy customs mostly dangerous. He’s right.
When Father Lampert said he had an assistant, I half expected to see a clip of Janine from Ghostbusters hanging up the phone and yelling, "WE GOT ONE!!!!"
Clever.
I seen real possessions at my church as a child. When the pastor told Satan he had to leave and that he held no power over the possessed lady, I literally watched the door fly open with no force there was a strong wind that almost broke the hindges off the door, but funny thing is there was no trees or anything blowing outside, no air nothing, the door only opened when the pastor told Satan to leave after he fought with our pastor through the lady, he finally left and slammed the door behind him. I remember the pastor asking who Satan was he growled through that woman and green stuff was coming out of her mouth she yelled in a manly voice “YOU KNOW WHO I AM!!!!! “ LUCIFER IS MY NAME” I just just told my 27 year old daughter about this story the other day because we were discussing a text she got from a guy that likes her, the guy told my daughter he wanted her soul, I told her that wasn’t the guy that was Satan speaking directly through him. My daughter told the guy a few days later what he had said, he had no memory of it, I told her sure he didn’t remember what he said because Satan took over. I told my daughter demons are real and we come in contact with them every day they walk around in human form. The murderer, the child molestor, the abuser, the robbers, those are just a few examples of demons. These type of people are not themselves Satan has taken over their lives. That’s why we have to be careful of who we give our bodies to as well, you could be sleeping with a demon and not know it. When fluid is exchanged now the demon is in you through blood and semen, in the healing community we call it soul ties it’s real.
Rough Story.
God bless you and your family💙
maybe focus less on "satan" taking over criminals and more about how religion divided the world and created wars. if wrath can come to this planet then so can god, they arent any different as when you die you go to either one of them, supposedly. if the devil can come to earth why cant god? bc he cant interfere? or bc hes not real lmao
Sounds like nonsense tbh also people are capable of great evil without needing any "external" help. Think blaming it on "satan" or other entities is far easier than just accepting that there are some really messed up people out here
That's taking accountability away from the people that do evil things when they're fully conscious of what they're doing.
vice is always so interesting
Not the montreal one
+I dog you Lol why you so defensive and butt hurt, people believe all manner of things and this one is relatively harmless.
It doesnt not make it interesting though
+I dog you No belief is harmless, and we all hold many of those, few of our own conception.

So from what I gathered, my understanding is that excorcism is real, but that many excorcists are fake. This one seems genuine
or people who claim that they're possessed are faking
German Bro German Bro I guess. I’m a skeptic, I believe in God and that there is evil, but I always think people are faking it, still always do. But I remember once, when I was ending my secondary school (high school) one day a girl started acting weird and started being rude then started screaming (kinda like our normal manic attack or something)Since I went to a christian school they called a priest and a few other ‘prayer warriors’. They prayed over her, I remember standing at the end of the sport field where they caught her (she was running around) and continued praying for her, I whispered to a friend, reminds me of the Emily Rose’s movie, we both then chuckled. Suddenly, this girl screamed my name and said to me, “I killed her”. Everyone looked at me and my friend and called us over. She started telling us that she killed the girl and that she will bring us to hell too. I know Emily Rose isn’t the real name of the girl, but the scariest thing for me was that she knew what we were whispering when we were meters away while she was being prayed over (loudly) plus she knew our names. I never knew the girl, she was so much younger than us, I was a senior then. I’ll never forget that moment that happened over 6 years ago. So you can say I’m somewhat a believer but a skeptic over people. LOL
@@gynanyg Interesting story Gyna. I think that it's unlikely that one session cures one fully, because in my understanding one needs to cultivate their heart and have a strong mind to overcome such an issue and demonic interference in general. I'm not a christian, but a Falun gong practioner. One I had a very strong headache when I woke up. I refused to accept this state. So I meditated for 5 minutes to clear my mind and then send out upright thoughts for 10 minutes. After that I read the book Zhuan Falun with my fellow practioners and after we finished the lecture my headache was nearly gone.

That was the padre’s way of saying that the demon had been weakened and defeated, by that point. Demons are pitiful creatures, evil as they are. No doubt, they are dangerous to those who foolishly let them into their lives, but, next to the power of God, they are petty and puny.
I saw the movie The Exorcists on Dec. 26, 1973 on opening night. My mother and aunt wanted to see it, but couldn’t find a babysitter for my brother and I. They thought it was fine to take a 7 and 5 year olds to that movie. As a 5 years old, it scared the hell out of me. Had nightmares for years. I only saw it that one time and I remember it as if I just saw it yesterday. From that point on, I’ve never watched any horror movies. Oh and I became the best well behaved 5 year old in church.

@Uppity Sombitch I think that you and your wife have something to talk about...
I've experienced what is what people may refer to as the sleep paralysis demon various times. But the very first time I ever encountered the being was when I first actually got serious about reading the Bible. I had picked up the book and read from Genesis to Exodus in one sitting. Prior to that there would always be strange sounds in the several houses my family and I would move to at the point of bringing in a priest to bless hour house once.
It's one thing for kids to perhaps experience something scary at night but it did eventually start getting more and more out of hand.
My family was always catholic or at least during the time my mother was married to her ex husband. However the man was very sinful in terms of cheating, drinking, smoking, and God knows what else. All these years later I believe it was him that was carrying all these demons around with him because there was no way every house we went to seemed to have a haunting.
Even other family members have spoken up whenever they'd visit that some weird things would happen at night. From strange sounds of footsteps when no one has gotten up to, the TVs turning on by themselves in different rooms, we'd have toys go off by themselves, my moms ex husband himself has heard someone say Jesus right after we went to bed after watching Passion of the Christ for the time (that night was the night our toys onthe first floor kept going on, both he and my mom were also awakened by the sound of sand being thrown at their window)
Basically a lot of weird things have followed me which I thinks stems from that. But the ultimate evil act he committed was raping my sister was was just a child. Then things really start kicking up. Only we had not known he did that until years later and it made sense why thing began getting weirder.
He was always abusive to me and even handed me my first drink of alcohol at a very very young age. I'm an alcoholic to this day now.
I do believe the Lord looks out for me, I have felt his presence and can if I truly ask him for it.
I played an Ouja board once when I was young and was told 3 demons follow me. I suppose one is the addiction to alcohol, the sleep paralysis, and a succubus.
I have literally on only two occasions been wide awake and felt like something was having sex with me. And even if I tried to somehow use my brain to replicate that specific sensation I never could. However I was introduced to last at an age no child should've been introduced to.
Demons are real, they're around us more often than we care to pay attention to for whatever the reason. Its not always acting out and speaking in tongues, sometimes it's really not being in control of yourself
You mean being possessed by dead rock stars?
Very well said. When people play with such items and have no idea what can come from it are playing Russian Roulette. There is evil that we have never been told of. Thre is evil we have seen in movies and on the news. There is evil in the middle of the night. YOu do not have to be possesed to be harrassed.
Fun fact: you don't need to be appointed anything by any organization in order to cast out demons.. Jesus said "these signs shall follow those who believe, IN MY NAME they will cast out demons, ..."
And most demonic activity is actually 'oppression' and not "possessions". Scripture shows the majority of demonic activity to be oppressions as opposed to possessions though both can surely take place. Possession means taking full ownership of something.
You don't need "holy water" or a crucifix to cast out demons! And you definitely don't need Mary. Jesus didn't carry a handbag laden with items to produce what was done with a single word! What this dude shared was based entirely outside of scripture. That demon was mocking him when he said "hail Mary blah blah"
I never heard that dude once say anything about Jesus.
Joshua Vazquez
Yes, yes, yes!

So true! The Catholic church thinks they can handle demons but they won't change a thing until they do as Jesus commanded!

There is so many things out there that could posses you, without you even knowing. Another evil I have experienced is that people can hide their true personalities for a long time, when you find out for a fact you believed something else or blamed someone else for many years, and that can brake you.
I can tell you this possession is very real i had an encounter at 23 when i was a fresh baby christian and we had one of our member tell us he was messing with tarot reading and other demonic activities. Our young adult pastor had us cast put whatever was inside of him we had to fast for 3 days and pray up and i tell you this that was the most unreal experience ever. When we started praying on him he started acting strange and suddenly some dark blob looking thing shot out of him and circled the entire room we were in church and it vanished out the front entrance. Then after had a few days feeling so bad. It is very real

The bottom line is, other people are more of a danger to us than spirits. I sit on the fence of all of this. I once went to a church, merely out of curiosity, to witness people being touched by a priest that does exorcisms and they freaked out a bit and fell down after he touched them, but I felt that this was just their own personal reaction over something imagined. I certainly didn't feel or sense anything in the church while this was going on. I also had a crazy indigenous lady living next door to me, who had heard a false rumour that I was mentally ill (I was not at all and was just a normal stable person working as a manager in the corporate sector). She then had her whole household convinced that in order to be mentally ill, that meant I was possessed by bad spirits or cursed (due to their cultural beliefs on mental illness). I can't tell you what a pain in the arse that was to live next door to and just plain mean. I thought they were idiots. On the other hand, twice now I've seen smarmy sceptic investigative journalists investigate the paranormal as part of a TV show and both times, in the end, they had a paranormal experience. One of them was Louis Theroux when he met with Ama the Hugging Saint from India, convinced it was a load of mumbo jumbo. Ama is said to have something powerfully spiritual within her that effects people when she hugs them, like she makes them high or something. When Louis hugged Ama, he almost fainted! He admitted that he did feel something happen. The other TV show, I've posted a link to below (read the part at the bottom, under episode 8). This host mocked the paranormal throughout his entire TV series, but in the final episode he had an exorcism and admitted that he couldn't remember what happened. He freaked out during the exorcism as though it was real and he was having evil spirits removed from him (ones he picked up during the making of his show, as he had been to see people doing voodoo, etc). He has said very little about what happened in that episode. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Safran_vs_God

He says the 'confirmation bias' is once you want to believe something you begin to ignore evidence that goes against, what you want to believe.
His own theory can work on both sides if religion. because not believing is essentially having a belief. Whether you are Atheist, Darwinist, Muslim or Christian. At some you have to ignore evidence that goes against your belief system.
He could be biting his own words.
Atheism is not a belief system, nor is their evidence that is ignored by being an atheist.

The difference between the priest and the skeptic is that the priest admits most situations aren't possessions. The Skeptic just ain't old dismisses it while watching the fake videos the priest was talking about lol
I really like that about the priest. There's a podcast interview with this same priest where he mentions that before reaching out to someone for exorcism, he will direct that person first to a mental health expert. Sometimes the mental health expert will be present with the priest to assess the case. Although I like the skeptic's perspective, I don't think he's able to distinguish the difference between a ceremonial manifestation to a demonic manifestation of an individual. I think anyone with an open mind can recognize this.

Exactly
The Catholic Church teaches that exorcism is the act of driving out or expelling demons or evil spirits from a person, place, or thing, through the power of God. While the concept of exorcism may seem supernatural, the Catholic Church views it as a natural, spiritual practice that involves the use of prayer, sacraments, and the authority of the Church to combat spiritual afflictions.
From a scientific standpoint, there is no empirical evidence to support the existence of demons or evil spirits. However, the psychological and physiological effects of exorcism can be explained by various scientific disciplines. For example, some experts suggest that the symptoms of possession or demonic influence, such as speaking in tongues, convulsions, and altered states of consciousness, may be related to psychological or neurological disorders.
In addition, the use of ritual and prayer in exorcism may have a placebo effect on the individual undergoing the process. The power of suggestion and belief can have a profound effect on the human mind and body. Therefore, it is possible that the individual's belief in the efficacy of the exorcism may contribute to the alleviation of their symptoms.

@dinosaur junior sorry for my English, I am from Italy... Well yes in Catholics mass, there are a lot of Bible readings, 4, to be exact: the first from old testament, the second from New testament, the a psalm, and at the end the gospel. About 40 minutes of reading, then we have the sermon. In the second part of the mass there is the liturgy. I really don't know why in USA many other Christians think we don't read the Bible.. Maybe we don't memorize it, but we do read and meditate it. I have a personal relationship with Jesus, and I accepted him as my savior..
@dinosaur junior is it a question?
Once before sunrise, I walked to a bustop a few hundreds of meter from my house when I saw a male figure sitting like a frog. It was emanating light and when I was around 5 meters from it, it started to make angry cat sounds whilst looking at me. I made a sign of a cross and then it kept quiet - I refused to look if it was still around or gone out of fear. Another time, I was ordered by my parents to buy something at 2100 hours or so. I went with my younger sister. Whilst walking on a small field, we saw a huge white dog emanating light. No way the moon can do that. What my sister didn't see was that the dog had a head of a pig. So I made a sign of the cross toward it and it began to run and I made more cross signs and it became smaller and smaller and then rolled into the dirt and vanished. The thing is, that flat field is our playgroundand there's NO hole in it for a dog to roll and disappear into. My sister thought me praying the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be constantly was absurd as although she also saw the dog and saw that it emanate light, she didn't think it was demonic. Again, she didn't realize that the 'dog' had a swine's head.
The skeptical blah blah blah is all good and well until you encounter one of the dark ones yourself. If that ever happens and you survive it, you will pray God that you never encounter another.
God is a dog
Max, humankind has encountered many wars, WWI and WWII at the extreme, many have prayed to their gods to stop them. Yet we are still fighting wars and we will encounter many wars to come till there is no one left to fight them, the only people who will survive those final wars will be the elite who start the wars. We have one thing in common, as long as the war is in someone else's back yard we don't give a damn, so it is with other things...
Its called sleep paralysis ive experienced it but in wasbt unnaturall at all just a halucination
I have something dark attached to me. And nothing makes it permanently go away.
Einzbernねこ the biggest mistake god created was an enemy. That’s why god and satan are false
God is real. Evil is alive and well. When I was young my family lived in a godforsaken house that we later found out had a horrific history. We turned to our tradition and religion and it was mind blowing seeing real time effects that holy objects and practices had in the house and the entity. I’m forever a believer and repent

What a poor argument, nazi's in the Time used to be millions, that make it right?
Lucas Viera it would be if that was my sole argument
@@justinjustinjustin10 what other argument do you have? Eyewitnesses and an old book that was written by man and that has been revised countless times?
Kimi N talking about exorcisms or the Church in general?
We grew up with a demonic haunting which completely devastated our family. Footsteps running down the hall in the middle of the night while nobody else was home was the very least of our problems. Four direct family members died tragic premature deaths and the rest of us suffered immensely with one member of the family still having demons creeping into their bed and I mean LITERALLY. Not so long ago she just got into bed and there was dim light in the room. She heard something walking on the floor and instantly she was frozen with fear. As she lay there on the bed unable to move she saw something jump onto the end of the bed under the blankets and start making its way up under the duvet. Eventually she broke herself free enough to look under the duvet only to see a horrific deformed demonic arm and hand reaching up towards her. She was beyond terrified. I had often told her how I got rid of these things from my life and she remembered this so began to order the thing away in Jesus name but found herself so terrified she was unable to speak so in her mind she began shouting "By the Almighty power of God I command that you go away and stay away forever more in Jesus MIGHTY name amen!" and in the blink of an eye that "thing" scurried back down under the duvet to the foot of the bed, dropped to the floor and then ran out (through) the closed door.
I could go on all night about the countless things that happened to me in that house but instead I'll leave you with this. after over 20 years of suffering incredible torment at the hands of these things, including the fact that they would follow me wherever I moved, I finally after having tried EVERYTHING done what an old friend of mine had often advised but I had always up to that point completely disregarded as naive absurdity. I ordered them away by the almighty power of God in Jesus name. The first time I done it a dark cloud of horrific misery that you could practically taste lifted from my world and I could finally see in full color once more (for many years my vision had adjusted to portray the world as very low contrast, very very dull, close to gray-scale). When that lifted I knew right there and then that Jesus Christ was real and coming from someone who once identified as a satanist I assure you I was not biased in that regard one bit. I spent my life denying Christianity as naive folklore but when I saw the power of that name I knew right there and then that Jesus Christ is not only real but alive and active and just waiting on us to call him to deliver us from the wicked spirits that are quite frankly now rampant throughout our society. Try it and you will see also. I order demons away every day now in Jesus name and have not suffered their torments since and as I am training to be a deliverance minister/exorcist I plan on teaching a lot more people to also claim their power. Heaven and Hell is real guys but so too is Jesus Christ and he can quite frankly mop the floor of the entire demonic army in one feel swoop if we will but call on him. God help us all.
Amen! I had a similar experience as I came from a non-Christian background, a friend prayed in Jesus name to ask those things to leave from my room and they left, even when I was very skeptical about it.
I was wondering if by chance you would have a min to chat..I have recently moved into a house that’s absolutely terrifying with numerous spirits and many that are bad and it has followed me, to make a long story short I’ve been trying to get advice from anyone about it all and don’t know how to go about doing it for I am not technologically smart I do have the gift of sight and also I don’t know how to control my spiritual awakening/awareness because it scares the living hell out of me. Please let me know as soon as u can thank u.

Demon: You have no power over me.
Priest: Have you met my exorcistant.??
I think the burrito I had the other night was possessed. After I ate it the gas I manifested was truly demonic.
BRUH 😂😂😂😂👌
Hopefully you blessed the toilet
The thing is, it's hard to believe that this happens until you see it for yourself. I used to be so sceptical about the occult until we moved to an area where people used witchcraft to 'get things done'
wambui i what area is that?
The Bible is occult.

@@sharkwithnotoes3051 why u spitting truth so much?
Shermer speaks as one who has never witnessed an actual exorcism up close as Fr. Lampert has, but instead read books and watched videos from an armchair.
Fr Lampert .. thank you for clarity & strenght
Whenever bottomfeeder priests help to heal paranoids, it's always as ugly as a blind man "secretly" fucking his horse!
I want to note that most if not all of the footage of the "possessed" in this little video is of some kind of protestant thing Lady-priests, overly emotional atmosphere etc). You will not see much of footage of Catholic exorcisms I think. Catholic Church is not for show.
Not bashing protestants. Ok, maybe just a little.
Well Catholic Church is the oldest one :) And the stuff like in video are happening too, I just watched recently video on youtube where a girl was describing one of prayer vigil she attended, half of the people got possessed and was screaming. The priest who invited her said it's common and normal. She resigned, it was too nerve-wracking for her. Doesn't make it easier to believe, though :)
You don't have to convince me, it is never easy to believe, contrary to common belief :) Stay safe!

Lifetime worth of exorcisms waiting for him on TikTok.
I go to his church!! Wow can’t believe I found this randomly lol
I see my orthopedists in Brownsburg. Maybe I need to make field trip next time. I’m not Catholic (just agnostic)but it would be interesting to see the church.
Wow that's pretty cool.
Not to be a dick, but I think the architecture of all of these new churches is really ugly. The church seems to have lost its roots after Vatican II and a long and storied tradition is all that keeps the church from being different from the other denominations. The church didn't need to try to reinvent itself, it just needs to try to form a stronger connection with its tradition.

SHOTING HIM WAS A NECESSARY ACT.
The world is full of mysteries that allows God for us humans to glorify him. A priest needs to exorcise a Devil; A quack doctor that needs to protect humans against Natural Spirits; A person with third eye that speaks justice on behalf of dead people; A person medium that connects people to their dead relatives to deliver messages and remorse. The world is full of mysteries; Don't judge someone by our own merely standardized perception; respect each other's belefs.
i don't know about demons but i definitely believe in the paranormal/supernatural whatever you want to call it, i had an experience last summer that was completely unexpected, confusing, and absolutely not something i imagined, it has changed how i look at the world. listening to the skeptic, i was thinking, "yeah buddy that's what i thought too." and you can't talk to people about it, they think you're crazy or lying. it's a alienating experience.
what did you experience?
They probably experienced absolutely nothing but then interpreted it as some big spooky supernatural bullshit.
who cares you are full of shit
who cares I had that alienation since childhood so I just didn't talk about it. I love that my wife had experiences as well so I can speak openly with her about it.
Skeptic Jesus exactly why this person would rather not talk about it, bc people will always have their doubts like you
As a Muslim I believe in the exorcism
My friend’s brother was possessed and they had to do exorcism
I genuinely couldn’t believe that till she told me what actually happened while she was crying.
I also believe in that. I'm an eye witness.
I myself never believed that, Now i myself perform islamic exorcism ruqyah, subhanaAllah, unbelieveable
Allahu Akbar in her
Only catholic priests can perform exorcisms . There aren’t that many who are trained. Because not many priests, for good reason, want the position. It is a difficult one as the devil does go after the exorcist.
Exorcism’s Roman ritual ( the prayers) have not changed
Prior to exorcisms the priest does prayer and fasting.
His deep faith is part can be shaken and the mercy of God doubted during exorcisms. This is why prayer and fasting are required.
Unfortunately Islam isn’t a religion that worships the true God and the Quran isn’t God’s book. This is why Muslims cannot perform exorcisms.
In Egypt, exorcisms, for Muslims are also done by priests. Same in the USA . Muslims know their religious folks aren’t able to do exorcisms that is why they come to the priests.
Exorcisms are always free.
@@nymgrace1227 how convenient for those priests, the only one to offer alleged magical life saving services and I guess they do it for free, out of the pure goodness of their hearts. Definitely not a scam that lead munchers would use to get your money in a country where money is king
People being possessed does occur. It happens all over the world but it is more of a psychological issue than a super natural issue.
its not more of a psychological problem it is a psychological problem there is no such thing as possession or ghosts or spirits or god or any other form of fairytale nonsense
+Tom cooke I take the I don't know stance.
Wow you must truly know everything especially with this huge claim that there is no god, tell me do you also know if the multiverse theory is true?
Tom cooke Have I ever told you that I believe in ghosts? No. Its like evolution never took you along with it. Before you call people an idiot then you might want to make sure that you have truly understood what they are talking about. Now as you seem to have an IQ well above anyone else I yet again ask you to answer my question since you never did
As a psychological issue, I believe it's called "mental retardation".
I believe this is real, the supernatural, Hell, I opened a door to the demonic realm, I saw all kinds of Image's, spheres, I saw all kinds of demon's, in 2017 at this point I was being tormented for a whole year, Jesus gave me a vision of what I invited into my house and into my body, this vision lasted for hour's, it was beyond what our minds can comprehend, it was so bad, horrific from the fear, terror, I started to mumble couldn't form words, I was going insane, finally I screamed for Jesus and he showed up everything evil took off, seconds after seeing Jesus I started feeling queasy the demon's inside of me had to flee, I ran to the restroom and threw up, Jesus saved me, cured me, delivered me, like the priest and I say we don't have to argue with them and even when you have proof they say they are pretending, I pray that skeptic, man finds the truth.
Satan's greatest lie is he doesn't exist, Hell isn't real. I want the people to know Jesus is the only way, everybody is gonna die I want him to find out the truth here because there it is to late, God bless, sold out for Jesus
Can you kindly describe what Jesus looked like?
@@amarugo4224 all I saw was a out line of him, his robe was whiter than white so bright with living gold sparkles, then I saw his beard it was down to his upper chest,his arm was stretched out with a staff,his hair was shoulder length,I couldn't see his face I just saw a beam of light shining out of where his face would've been, when you see him you know it's him I felt so much love from him then I felt his power like he was guarding me, what seemed like an eternity it was probably 15 second's,then I looked away and all the demon's, creature's we're gone I looked back where Jesus was but I couldn't see him anymore,what hit me was those demon's didn't stand a chance, second's after seeing Jesus I started feeling queasy I ran to the restroom and threw up the demon's Inside of me had to flee,I wish I could've seen his face but I wasn't allowed too, he was fantastic, wonderful beyond anything you can imagine,one day when I go to meet him or he comes to bring his people home I want to embrace him and look into his face to thank him for what he has done for us, God bless you and your family, Sold out for Jesus
@@jessepacheco7471 His hair, what color? Was it straight, wavy or kinky? I'm trying to match his description to what my Dad saw years ago
@@amarugo4224 it was an outline I couldn't tell what color it was,his hair was curly,there wasn't that much detail,I wish I could've seen him in his full Glory but at the time I wasn't right with God,his robe was white I saw the pleates on the bottom of his robe,the gold sparkles were alive,moving, spectacular,your dad saw more features wow that was a blessing,I don't know why but I wasn't allowed to see him,God bless
@@amarugo4224 wavy and curly at the same time it's hard to describe, God bless
Unfortunately, demon possession is real.
no, its not.
Aaaa no.
+pilar yes you're right I'm sure you know the answer to life itself as well.
if you believe this stuff you probably are possessed
lol, it may or may not be real none of you actually KNOW this for sure you're just saying whatever you want to.
