I love almost all horrors... But don't you think you'd pretty much shart all over yourself if a 9 year old boy growled at you, gave you an evil grin, and then crawled up the wall backwards and to the ceiling? In real life? I know I would.

I'd believe it if/when I see it...I like Star Trek movies...but I don't expect to be "beamed up" anytime soon.

Whether anyone believes this or not, it'll send a few chills through your body.

Yeah it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and sent chills down my spine... You think that figure in the picture is real?

There are no stories or myths in folklore about being beamed up though... The mere thought that this MAY HAVE happened is chilling. Family members, friends, a priest, a nurse, a family services manager, a police chief... All witnesses to tell that this really happened. The one I still find the hardest to believe is the wall climbing and the levitation.

I don't think that figure in the second-to-right window is anything more than a reflection of something earthly.

I'm not sure what to think about the inside-the-home claims. Plausible, but there's always some skepticism. But the window 'figure' is nothing.

Interesting.

I'm not sure how I feel on the subject.

Bill O'Reilly is set to interview the priest tonight on the Factor.

In the second from right window, it looks like the old farmer. It's not scary at all, but is supposed to be some figure caught in the picture that the police took...

Scary stuff that certainly mirrors the movie Exorcist.
This movie script wasn't pulled out of thin air.


William Peter Blatty based his novel on a supposedly genuine exorcism from 1949, which was partially performed in both Cottage City, Maryland, and Bel-Nor, Missouri. Several area newspapers reported on a speech a minister gave to an amateur parapsychology society, in which he claimed to have exorcised a demon from a 13-year-old boy named Robbie, and that the ordeal lasted a little more than six weeks. Robbie was born June 1, 1935, resided at 3807 40th Avenue in Cottage City, MD, and was a member of St. James Parish. He entered the seventh grade at Bladensburg Junior High in the fall of 1947, and was removed in the middle of his eighth grade year on January 15, 1949. He had experiences that ended on April 19, 1949. He re-enrolled in the eighth grade at Bladensburg Junior High for the 1949-50 school year, then spent from the fall of 1950 until June 1954 at Gonzaga High School in Washington, DC.

Later Blatty resumed novel writing. Allegedly retiring to a remote and rented chalet in woodland off Lake Tahoe, Blatty wrote The Exorcist, a story about a twelve-year-old girl being possessed by a powerful demon, that remained on the New York Times bestseller list for 57 straight weeks and at the Number One spot for 17 of them. It would eventually be translated by himself and director William Friedkin into one of the most famous mainstream horror movies of all time. Blatty would go on to win an Academy Award for his Exorcist screenplay, as well as Golden Globes for Best Picture (he produced the film) and Best Writing. He has made the claim that in its first weeks of publication, The Exorcist novel, despite excellent reviews and much advertising by the publisher, Harper and Row, was deemed a failure and was being returned by bookstores by "the carload" until what he calls "an extraordinary intervention by Providence" which he refuses to describe.

I agree w/ Motown, it's just an ordinary reflection.

In fact the window next to the door, you can see the building across the street: windows, roofline and a chimney. Then there is the start of the tree at the very right edge (possibly the tree in the foreground). In that next window the tree reflection continues, but so does the building reflection, the color and roofline are apparent. There is an odd shape at the top (the "head") which is hard to explain w/ certainty. I could be a dormer, an artifact from the tree branches, something in the tree, or another object.

Nevertheless, to me it's not the least bit interesting. (Fairly mundane Midwest architecture, IMO, but then I'm from w Ohio)

I wish they would use pentecostal type ministers or pastors for this.

Its always a catholic because Catholics or the one's who have official rits for such things.

Seems like a christian who is more in tune with the spiritual side would be a a better choice.

This is not a knock in Catholics, it just that different denominations focus on different aspects. Catholics are more ritualistic in nature. Some Pentecostals are much more spiritual based. Some Baptists as well.

Here's a different take.

In my opinion you can tell that it's fake since everybody involved is afraid.

In my humble opinion, if you meet a daemon what is there to be afraid of? By meeting that thing you have just proven the existence of God, in my opinion. So, if I met a daemon tomorrow, would I be afraid? I may at first but at the same time my faith would be confirmed in the most amazing and complete way. Would I be afraid of death at that point? No. If there is evil like that in the world it can only be the focus on immeasurable good.

BTW, the reason Catholics get associated with this is because of the case of a French peasant girl during the reformation who was supposedly possessed. It became a contest between the different denominations to get rid of the daemon and was international news at the time. Ultimately, they settled on the Catholics being the most effective and so we've been associated with it in culture ever since.

The Demon(s) didn't sit down with that family for dinner and a movie.

The head of the family makes the decision on where to turn for help.

Who is actually willing to help plays a pretty large role too.

Most churches would never get involved in such a case.

That's why its often a catholic involved. That have a history here.

I don't give a **** what it did; the point stands.

The existence of a daemon would suggest a life beyond. Then what's to be afraid of unless you're a scumbag or a non-believer?

Everyone who encountered an angel in the NT was afraid.

I think demons would induce sufficient fear for any person.

Ghosts? That's what I've always had a hard time understanding why people were afraid of them.

I don't think there is a person on this earth who would be unafraid when confronted with the supernatural. Perhaps someone who does it for a living and has seen it hundreds of times perhaps, but that's about it.

Everytime in the Bible an angel or Godly presence confronted a saint or prophet, they were TERRIBLY afraid.

Only the apostles of Christ were not, as they knew that they been specifically gifted with special spiritual powers and gifts.

And they had ate, slept, prayed and lived daily with God in the flesh.
