Thoughts While Watching The Exorcism of Emily Rose
|
Posted by Jill Stefko Jun 11, 2009 |
I admit I get a case of the giggles when I watch a movie or TV show “based on a true story” or one that is fiction touted as reality such as the Amityville “haunting” and the Smurl case, both of which featured demons.
A friend of mine told me about The Exorcism of Emily Rose when it was first released. I was able to find the true case it was based on and wrote an article about it. It reminded me of another victim of pseudo-exorcists resulting in the death, Bernadette Hasler. How tragic! I thought of other articles I’ve written about with a demonic theme.
I believe that the paranormal phenomena called demonic possession exists due to the fact that there are documented cases witnessed by credible people. It’s the same with ghosts, poltergeists, cryptids and other things paranormal. While these can’t e proved by the scientific method and known laws of science, something is there. What it is, I have theories, but no hard answers.
I research, trying to find indisputable proof. Readers who are as curious as I am might enjoy reading the following articles:
