True Exorcism Stories

When most people think of exorcisms, they often envision the scenes from the 1973 movie The Exorcist, based on the book by William Peter Blatty. This famous story was inspired by the actual exorcism of a boy known as Roland Doe (we'll explore that later). But it raises a question—are exorcisms real? To help you decide, we’re diving into real-life exorcism stories.

Exorcisms have been a part of various religions throughout history, from ancient Babylonian rituals to early Christian practices. Priests in ancient Babylon performed exorcisms using rites similar to voodoo, while holy water was a common method used by ancient Persians. The Bible recounts instances where Jesus is said to have expelled demons from possessed individuals.

So, are exorcisms just the stuff of horror movies, or do they have a foothold in reality? It's not as clear-cut as you might think. These spine-tingling accounts of real exorcisms blur the line between the unexplainable and the horrifying. After reading them, you can make up your own mind.
