Michael Taylor.

Michael Taylor and his wife, Christina, lived in a small town of Osset in the UK. The couple was very religious and eventually joined the Christian community under the leadership of Marie Robinson. At one of the Christian meetings in 1974, Christina Taylor publicly accused her husband and Robinson in a love connection. Marie Robinson began to deny the possibility of a relationship with Michael. However, Michael Taylor's reaction to the statement of his spouse was just terrifying! From his mouth, a dirty thread was poured by such an abnormative vocabulary and brands that the witnesses stuck their ears so that only nothing to hear it.

Anna did not transfer religious artifacts in the Spirit, became very depraved and spoke out loud about such things, about which at that time even thought was indecent, she could not enter the church.

Despite the fact that we discovered almost all the secrets of the human body and even swung on flights to space, the world religions continue to approve the existence of gods and spirits. In particular, the obsession with demons is still considered a very real danger that lies after every God-fearing person. Here are several real storieswhich were confirmed not only by priests, but also doctors.

Arne Johnson

Arne Johnson killed his employer and came to repent of church. Good priests found in Arne evil spirits, and then took the guy to the police. The judge's obsession with the devil for some reason did not accept and hit Arne 20 years of strict regime.

David Berkovits

Berkovits terrorized residents of native Brooklyn whole year. When capturing the serial maniac confessed in all crimes, however, he stated that a neighbor's dog was to blame for everything, in which Satan himself was united. He conveyed David instructions.

It happened in 1949 in Georgetown, a 13-year-old boy "played" in a spiritual session. In those years, the penetration of spirits was a very fashionable activity among adults and children. Soon, the "souls" came into contact - the boy heard strange knocks, scratching ... in the word, the game was a success for glory! However, at night, when the child was laying to bed, trust came around the icon, then the screenshots, sighs, heavy steps heard. So it lasted for several days and nights. Parents decided that this is the spirit of the recently deceased relative, who was very attached to the child during his lifetime.
However, the "Spirit" behaved too strange for a loving uncle: the child began to disappear clothes, and then suddenly appear in the most unexpected places. The chair in which the boy was sitting, suddenly turned over. The school of notebooks and textbooks of classmates flew through the air! Finally, parents were offered to pick up a boy from school and hire him private teachers. But before - to show doctors.
Doctors listened to the story of the parents of a young patient, made tests and recognized the child absolutely healthy. However, when the boy suddenly changed his voice - he turned into a low, rude, hoarse - the parents were not worried about the joke.
The "diagnosis" of the boy put priests: the obsession of the devil. The rite of exorcism (the expulsion of the devil) lasted 10 weeks. All this time on sessions, the child has demonstrated unprecedented power, easily casting over the sides of his assistants to the priest. Strangely in a snake moved his head, said exactly in the eyes surrounding. Once, during the rite, he managed to escape from the hands of the servants. He rushed to the priest, grabbed the ritual book and ... destroyed it! It was destroyed, and not ripped: in the eyes of amazed eyewitnesses, the book turned into a cloud confetti! After ten weeks, the child forgot about what, having broken, broke his hands with two assistants of the priest, that the knife rushed to native mother... He became a zealous Catholic and lived righteous life.
The Roman Catholic Church believes that devies, having fallen into a person, can manifest itself in two: either with knocks, unpleasant odor, the movement of objects is "invasion" in our being, or changed by the behavior of a person who "suddenly begins to shout obscenity, his body beats in convulsions." This state is called obsession.
In 1850, a woman appeared in France, near which incomprehensible knocks, cod, from his mouth sometimes had a foam, unfortunate beat in convulsions and shouted obscenity. And coming to a more or less calm condition, suddenly began to speak in Latin ... There, in France, two brothers, suffering from obsession, later, lived in France, fifteen years later. In addition to the traditional "set" of oddities - convulsions, shouting of bully and other things, they could still predict the future and forced items to fly through the air.
In 1928, the history of women suffering from 14 years old was very popular in Iowa (USA). Her illness was that she experienced a physical disgust for the church and the subjects of religious cult. Was a woman for 30 years, when she decided on the rite of expulsion unclean power. At the very first ritual words, some unknown force broke out of the hands of the servants of the church, carried through the air and as if she stuck to the wall high above the door of the temple. To keep on the wall was not for that, however, obsessed with great difficulty managed to separate from the wall and return to the servants. So it lasted 23 days. All this time in the building of the church, knocks were heard, crushing, wild upwards, which were horrified by parishioners. Then the unclean spirit left the body of a woman and the wall of the temple, but after a while he returned and tried to re-create his black things. The second rite of exorcism passed much easier and the devil left his "object" now forever.
The Canadian newspaper "San" in 1991 described the rite of expulsion of the Spirit from a 15-year-old Indian girl. It was a young and not very experienced priest Guntano Vigliotta from the poor thing to the demon. He was warned that the rite of exorcism was carried alone dangerous. However, Wigliotta did not return to the Council. The session in the house obsessed two hours. Suddenly the mother of the girl who watched taking place from another room heard strange screams. Then everything is smaller. After some time, the mother entered the room where the rite was held and saw a terrifying picture: the body of the priest was literally broken into parts, and obsessed the girl in unconsciousness. Having come to himself, she remembered the voice that sounded in her brain during the rite: "My name is the Eater! Kill the priest! "
In October 1991, a report on the exile of the demon from a 16-year-old American Gina was broadcast on one of the television channels of the United States. That day, televisions gathered about 40 percent of the spectators of the country. Bishop Kit Summons allowed such a show and accompanied him with the words: "The devil really exists. He is strong and for all centuries actively acts on the planet. "
Peter Johnson, a 50-year-old public servant was an exemplary citizen. He lived a quiet life in Southeast England. He worked a lot, loved to engage in gardening and adored his wife Joan. There was nothing unusual in his life. But then Askinra came - "demon," in his soul and holding control over Peter's life. "As if inside my body, something alien lived," says Peter. "It penetrated my body, my brain." The presence of Askinra Peter first felt during sleep. In the nightmare donated to him, the dark forbidden essence entered the body of Peter and took control over him. First, the old man ignored repeating nightmares, but in the end, they began to join him daily life. Sharp headaches made his life unbearable. Uncontrolled dizziness and attacks of narcolepsy swept it without warning. This was enough to break a person, but they soon came to hallucinations. "I thought I was going crazy," says Peter.
At about the same time, his wife began to notice changes in his behavior. Peter's feelings and emotions changed like spring weather - from enthusiastic lust to a feeling of deep despair. Its physical condition of the attacks of vomiting, then a sudden diarrhea, then the races of temperature. Sustaines leed from unbearable pain.
Peter was repeatedly hospitalized, but, as it turned out, he did not suffer from one of the famous diseases. In the end, he was transferred under the supervision of Dr. Alan Sunderson, a famous psychiatrist consultant interested by Esoteric. Dr. Sanderson was familiar with similar cases - Peter's soul mastered the evil spirit. He was obsessed.
"It is more natural and usually, than everyone is accustomed to consider," says Sanderson, a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. "If you used the board to call the spirits or asked the spirits to go to this side of life, one of them can master your soul."
Many consider exorcisism to the relic of Middle Ages, not related to the 21st century. "The demonship of the demons does not have serious grounds! This is the fruit of the imagination of idiots and fairy tales! " - Many can subscribe under these words. But, oddly enough, exorcism attracts more and more confidence from medicine and remains part of religious mainstream.
Not so long ago, the University of Vatican announced that in their walls now conduct special courses on the practical aspects of the expulsion of evil spirits. The British "Fourth Channel" filmed a real rite of exorcism. More than a hundred American medical schools introduced a course of spiritual medicine. Increasingly, psychiatrists refer their patients to private exorcists.
"I have no doubt for a minute that the world of Spirits Reaen," says Dr. Sanderson. "I believe that there are many types of spiritual entities that can penetrate into us. Most often there are souls of dead people - they did not hit the "heavens" and are looking for the rest of the living. "
For most people, exorcism will always be associated with the famous hollywood film. But the history of the duel of Father Damien Carras with the Devil is based on the real events that occurred in 1949 in St. Louis, Missouri. True, the real rite of exorcism was carried out over a 14-year-old boy, and not over the girl, but he was no less terrible.
The story began with the fact that 14-year-old Richard with his aunt caused spirits. Shortly after that, his aunt died with mysterious circumstances. A few days later, strange events began to occur around the boy himself. Tables and chairs traveled on the room on their own, photos fell from the walls, in the attic of the house it was possible to hear someone's steps. But even more strange things were going on with Richard himself: there was an inscription on his breast, as if cut on his flesh, inappropriate signs appeared on their hands and legs. Catholic priest was caused to perform exorcism.
First, the Holy Father William Bowen tried to drive out a demon with a few simple prayers, but soon realized that he was confronted with a serious opponent. Every time Richard tried, uttering a prayer, to renounce Satan, the terrible force captured the power over his body, without giving it a word. During the exorcism of Richard filled terrible power - to keep the boy to the priest helped three adult men. Day after day, the priest fought with a demon inside Richard, who constantly teased Bouden and spoiled in his assistants. Once the boy grabbed the father of the Father Bowen and said: "I am the devil himself."
After 28 days of the struggle, the exhausted Father Bouden tried to drive out the devil from Richard again. But this time everything was different. When Richard tried to pronounce ours "Father", some power took possession of his body and helped to inform the prayer to the end. Richard was released. Later, the boy said that Archangel Mikhail himself intervened to help him pronounce prayer. He also appeared a vision in which the saint fought with Satan at the exit from the burning cave.
Peter Johnson's obsession was no less strange. The presence of Askinra was detected only when Dr. Sanderson hypnotized the old man. Askinra hypnosis for a while received full control over the body of Peter and used his voice to communicate. The demon declared that he came from the "Dark Flame" and its main goal was "causing pain." Askinra expressed his intention - "I am released, only when destroying it."
Dr. Sanderson decided that the daemon should be released. It was "released", Sanderson did not perceive the words "Exile" and "Exorcism". He sought to negotiate with spirits, convince them to leave the illegally acquired body in a peaceful way. It is less traumatic for all stakeholders, and also gives the chance to the spirit to gain peace and peace.
Saderson managed to convince Askinra to leave the body of Peter. As soon as the demon left the body, he began to describe typical death visions - glowing white way, Places "Mountains and Lights". After that, Askinra could no longer affect Peter. Before leaving our reality, the demon said: "I'm sorry, I did not want it. Come and see me on my new place ... "

It happened in 1949 in Jepgrotaun, a 13-year-old boy "Shot" in a spigic session. In those years, the discovery of the spirits was a very fashionable occupation, take a distance and children. Our "Souls" went on the connection - the boy heard the stunted knocks, the quapment ... Word, IPA succeeded in glory!

However, at night, when the Pebenka laid to sleep, the Icons Icons, hanging in his room, was trying, then the scapions, sighs, heavy steps heard. So I posed for several days and nights. Parents trembled that this spirit recently knowing a fruit man, which was very much like a softener of life.

However, the "Spirit" led himself too much for a loving uncle: the Pennica began to pope the clothes, and then suddenly appear in the most unexpected places. Kvell, a boy was sitting in Kotup, the input was turned. In school, the tetpades and textbooks of classmates flew through the air! Chankoye the tribulations pledged to roll the boy from school and hire him private teachers. Well done - show now.

They listened to the story of the parents of the young patient, they made tests and pensioned the Pennica absolutely healthy. However, when a boy has changed in a boy, a voice has changed - from the children's underwent in low, gnauby, hypers - the days were disturbed not for a joke.

The "diagnosis" of the boy put the priests: the appreciation of the devil. Expicism (devil's expulsion) lasted 10 weeks. All this, in the sessions of the Pennok, demonstrated unprecedented power, easily taking off the defendants of the priest's deposits. Stronno, moving his head, said exactly in the eye. One day, in the time by the time he managed to fall out of the member pour. He used to the priest, grabbed the foul book and ... had her! It was trying, and not a picture: in front of the eyes of amazed eyewitnesses, the book was pushed into a cloud of confetti! After ten weeks, the Penchok forgot about the fact that, by walking out, broke the back of two assistants of the priest, that he was biting with a knife at the Item Mother ... he became a Catholic and he had a false life.

The Roman Catholic Comech believes that the demons, having fallen into a person, can be in two ways: either with knocks, inappropriate smell, the movement of priests is "fuel" in our being; Or changed by the behavior of a person, which "input begins to dodge non-resistance, his body beats in convulsions. This state is called upon delivery.

In 1850, a woman was announced in the FPANCK, unclear knobs, TPES, which often walked on her, unfortunate in the convulsions, was always made in the foam. And for more or less calm condition, the input began to arouse on Latin ... There, in the fifteen years later, two BPATs lived later, there were two-mindedness. In addition to a multi-traditional "set" of stance - convulsions, twinking the houlas and first, they could still foresee the future and forced the psymets to fly through the air.

In 1928, the foresight of a woman was very popular in Iowa (USA), the forefall since 14 years old. Its illness was that she had a physical disappearance towards the Cepplic and Peregious Cults. The woman was already in 30 years, when she was overhable to the height of the unclean power. Purchase of the same fright words, some unknown strength has exploded it from the pour of the core miners, the air has fallen through the air and as if it should be high above the two HPAM. There was nothing to go on the wall for that, however, we managed to separate with a large TPUD from the wall and try in the ministers. So it peredged 23 days. All this, in the building, the tspecks were made by the knocks, it hits, wild upwards, which were horrified by the pyhozhan. Then the unclean spirit left the body of a woman and the walls of HPAMA, but what had someone who had vested himself and tried to re-create his own things. The second ExpCizism was much easier, and the devil left his "object" to the warmth forever.

The Canadian newspaper "San" in 1991 described the height of the spirit of the 15-year-old Indian girl. It was a young and not very experienced priest Guntano Vigliotta from the poor thing to the demon. He was praised that it was dangerous for obplated exuxism. However, Wigliotta did not return to the Council. The session in the house of the dress pumped two hours. Initu, the mother's mother, who followed the profound from the street room, heard the stained kpries. Then everything is smaller. After some kind of mother, the mother entered the room, where he pondered, and saw a terrifying cappotina: the body of the priest was literally dizzly on the part, and the dressing girl pissed in unconsciousness. Calling into my senses, she remembered the voice, which sounded in her brain in the underlying: "My name is the worker! Kill the priest! "

In October 1991, one of the television channels of the United States was repeated for the expulsion of the demon from the 16-year-old Amepanka Gina. On that day, the TVs had about 40 podzents of Strana. Bishop Kit Summons has passed such a show and has concopped him with the words: "The devil really exists. He is strong and on the vicense of all centuries actively acts on the planet. "
