Oh that video broke my heart. You know no one wants to hear this but I grew up in North Dakota and life there is very quiet. I was in Catholic School my whole life and one day in theology class we watched a video about people who were "possessed."
One thing we learned that was really astonishing is that some folks including children who exhibited these traits were in fact helped by psychological treatment. But in other cases the parents (as a last resort) called for an exorcism. Now, strange as it sounds they showed before and after video clips and it was day and night.
The person who went through the exorcism and the family spoke about how it saved this person's life. I was floored as I thought possession was all hokus pokus and fake. I learned that day and consequently more occasions that it is indeed real but is in no way a replacement to real medical work.
