Nothing makes for a good horror film that will scare the bejesus out of you like an exorcism. The pea soup spewing Linda Blair set the standard in The Exorcist, and now Anthony Hopkins is about to explore similar spiritual territory in the spooky new film The Rite. The movie focuses on a priest from the USA going to Italy to learn how to properly exorcise demons and is “inspired by a true story.”
While a movie exorcism can be creepy, we wanted to see what was out there online that actually showed the real thing. Are these seven videos of real exorcisms, or are they just elaborate internet video hoaxes? Check them out and decide for yourself.
The Sixth Region of Hell
In this clip, first a demon tries to choke its human host to death, and then another devil from the “sixth region of hell” tries to attack an exorcist by going through the window. It’s creepy stuff, but it’s awfully disappointing to know that a simple set of window bars is all you need to ward off a demon. Why didn’t it just use the door or something?
Pastor Bob
Pastor Bob Larson calls himself The Real Exorcist and claims to have performed more than 10,000 of the rituals. In these clips, you will witness some very unhappy demons and devils being cast out of their human bodies. Pastor Bob says his goal is to put a public face on exorcism. If he’s done 10,000 of these things, why not just start a Facebook page or something? That’s a pretty decent following.
The Chair
In this video, a priest first shows you how he straps the possessed down before an exorcism begins and how the tortured souls can break steel to get out of their shackles. Then he and his crew strap in a girl who needs spiritual cleansing and the fireworks begin. But honestly, we’d scream like a stuck pig too if someone strapped us into a chair against our will. That’s how most brutal interrogations start, you know?
Exorcism: Russia Style
According to this Russian TV news report, “People oppressed by demonic forces go to Father Vasiliy’s church.” And what happens at this church? One parishioner says she hears inhuman screams that sound like they are coming from dogs and other animals. We’ll pause here while you insert the Michael Vick joke of your choosing.
That was fun! Now on to the video.
Gina
At the start of the exorcism of Gina, profiled on the TV show 20/20, she actually looks like she’s about to bust out laughing. That doesn’t last too long. But nobody ever accused Barbara Walters of fucking around.
A Mild-Mannered Exorcist
At first, the devil does not seem to be very intimidated by this rather mild-mannered exorcist. That’s understandable, seeing as how the guy is about 500 years old. But clearly, age equals experience in the exorcism game, because this guy appears to be extremely good at what he does. How else to explain the fact that this woman (or demon?) goes from calm to completely terrified in the span of about six seconds?
Just Dance!
Apparently, when all else fails, the best course of action is to dance those demons right out of your soul.

the best form of exorcism is in your head just block out any lost souls, gouls, evil spirits -negative whatever you want to call them because under Gods LAW they cant touch you but you can go insane if you give them enough of your mind im high

I remeber a dream where I felt something in my bed and It woke me up, put its hands around my face very firmly and I couldent get it off of me when I shook it off I was wide awake in my bed I was maybe 19 years old. Ive seen a chick die in (10000 ways to Die) tv show, in her bed. I think its mental and when your in your dream and its scaring you to a certain point your body cant take it and it trips out.

Because the demons has nothing better to do than get inside regular people or freak teenage girls. It’s not like the Devil could use some of its time possessing powerful political people… I mean, why wold he ever do something like that? No, fat girls and ugly people without acting skills is a way better manifestation of evil.
11:08 am on January 7th, 2011
wow. what you call demons, i call crazy.
they need medical help. not religious nutjobs.

I saw a real exorcism when I was a kid. A neighbor woman was supposedly possessed, and the local priest was there to intervene.
They closed the doors and gate, but us kids were able to peer through openings. What I had seen is nothing like these videos: while the priest was praying in front of a table, the possessed walk down the stair with unkempt hairs obscuring her face. She slowly turned around and we just screamed – her face was blood red with a tongue sticking out that was almost half her body length …
It took the whole week of praying and rites before everything returned to normal. They kept everything quiet the priest and the family they didn’t want to say anything about what happened.

You need to know that evil spirits are true and they CAN take over your body but they DO need your permission. So all these people have used the board or di spirit rituals or believed STRONG in these things. Without those things you dont give them power so they can do nothing.

You’re all a bunch of f’ing idiots. hahaahahahah
2:28 pm on June 10th, 2011
I believe no one is an idiot but rather that demons do exist because everyone knows that there is always good and evil. And in the sense of our good is heaven and our evil is the devil with his demonic demons which is hell. There are just unravelling situations that come and these days we cant tell whether these exorcisms are real or not. But we should all keep an open mind because supernatural forces can exist within the walls of our earth. But we are not true believers until we get soulfull evidence with our own eyes these days. But i believe anything can be possible!
11:18 pm on July 11th, 2011
Its funny you can believe that God can touch a humans soul. So why is it that a demon cannt do the same. You say there crazy or a idiot. Maybe so’ but look at it from this point of view. If you believe in God you have to believe in the Devil. It goes hand and hand. God has his angels we know them by name. Demons are the Devils angels. So do I believe in God and Demons I have to say yes. I have studied both sides for may years I have seen thing that are not human. Seen thing that have scared me deep inside. You are going to have to understand that there are things in this world we will not understand. But us as humans when we dont understand something we get scared and call it a name to make us feel better. Heaven and Hell oh they are real as as it gets.

I really don’t get it…
I’m not certain that heaven and so exist. But one thing I’m sure and that is that hell and demons do not exist. These people are mental ill or they are in need of attention. Please be reasonable, this is just another act of the human mind to get money out of it and to scare people for fun.
Proof: noticed that in the medieval ages there was magic/dragons/demons/angels/…
.
and now they are all gone?
Thats because we became intelligent and are getting real explenations for things that happen. People who still believe in such stuff are just coming behind

I’m not really sure if demons really do exist but I’m keeping an open mind on it. If one day someone really gives me irrefutable proof that demons or anything benign and divine, does or does not exist.. Then I’ll gladly accept it and finally feel comfortable to find something to believe in. But people who try to disprove these things are using Psychology. And I just want these people to understand, that psychology is not even a proven science. It’s all based on theories just like religion.

I beliebut in the devil and God, but i do not believe that the devil can posses someone;if the devil or demons can posses people why can’t God or angels posses people as well? I have never heard of a case where someone got possessed by a angel. But at the same time I do have a open mind and if a could wittness a exorcism that showed irrefutable proof that someone can be posesed then I woud believe. But watching people getting possessed on a video is not very believeable.
3:28 am on December 10th, 2011
angels can posses people but in good ways.
They wouldn’t attack people like the ones that are possesed by a demon or a evil spirit.
angels that posses humans have to fulfill their tasks on earth then they go to heaven.

You need to update your site! Thank You
12:55 pm on March 3rd, 2012
The power of Christ compels you!These folks are suffering from a mental disorder or just lack of attention. The religious figures in these videos are perpetuating the problem by giving the affected person validation. It’s the sick feeding the sick guys…

1:33 am on May 6th, 2012
you guys just suk demons exist and everyone in their hearts somewhere kmows that, even the non believers but people deny that bcoz they just dont want to admit the fact that -ve forces exist bcoz it distracts the very core of a human being.
2:56 pm on May 17th, 2012
I have always wanted to witness a real exorcism.
I do believe in these spirits and that demons
are real. When I get out of college I want to go and
find a place where people have been classified
as posessed and have been kept there for research.
If that exists which hopefully a place like that does!!
1:10 pm on June 18th, 2012
The people on this don’t realy know spirits are not fake and not bs u need to know they are all around us and u need to know how it feels to be taken to know if its true or u have to be there I have been there I have been taken control of and trust me u have no idea how good it feels to be releved watching these is one thing but being the one watched isnt
7:52 pm on July 23rd, 2012

11:58 am on August 19th, 2012
some Q r there in mind?

9:20 pm on October 26th, 2012
It isn’t real. None of it is.
12:25 am on November 3rd, 2012
If there is a satan, whats the point of trying to get souls? He is going to get 90% of the people anyway..according to whatever religion that believes in hell that is.
