Exorcism prompts lawsuit; possessed man worries videotape could be misusedBy Adam Parker (Contact)
The Post and Courier
Saturday, June 28, 2008
An exorcism performed on a local man in September 2005 has sparked a lawsuit. The man, called J. Doe in the suit to protect his identity, alleges that his privacy was invaded when the exorcism was filmed by officials of the Catholic Diocese of Charleston. Doe had tried "to seek justice peacefully, within the Church and without resorting to legal action," for more than two years in an attempt to reclaim the recorded material or have it destroyed, according to the suit and attorney Larry Richter. He is also seeking an injunction to prevent the diocese from using the recordings in any way, according to the suit. Read more in Sunday's Post and Courier. |

Exorcisms are scary things. I have witnessed a couple in my life time and let me tell you, I would never want to be able to see them again on video. This is why I never watched "The Exorcist" or "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."
