Demonic Possession & Exorcisms with Scott L. Smith

Episode 126: On this episode, Scott L. Smith joins me to talk about exorcisms and demonic possession. Scott is a Catholic author, attorney, and theologian. Smith is author of What You Need to Know about Mary, The Catholic ManBook and of Christian horror novels. His latest book is True Ghost Stories & Hauntings: Real Catholic Exorcisms. Scott also regularly contributes to his blog at www.thescottsmithblog.com, winner of the Fisher’s Net Award for Best Catholic Blog.

During the interview, Scott first talked about things like Voodoo and curses, as is prevalent in his home state of Louisiana. He also talked about what he thinks ghosts might and talked a little bit about a famous haunted location, the Myrtles Planation, that is close to where he lives in New Road, LA. Scott and then moved on to the main topic, which was of demonic possession and exorcisms. We talked about some famous cases, to include the Roland Doe case, which the move, "The Exorcist," was losely based on.

We also talked about the Emma Schmidt case of the 1920s and about the other famous case exorcism case of Anneliese Michel, which the Exorcism of Emily Rose was losely based on. Scott went on to talk about how catholic priests and the church separate mental illness from demonic possession and about some of things that the priests who have performed these possessions have written about. These include things like telekinetic powers, victims who have vomitied strange objects like nails and other things that are unexplaiable and things like words appearing on the victims skin and of body contortions and ancient languages beign spoken by the victims, like ancient hebrew and latin.

It is an interesting yet frightening and even controversial topic for some and it was a pleasure to have Scott join me to talk about his research and knowledge of these exorcism cases. Scott has offered a audio promo for his book, True Ghost Stories and Hauntings: Real Catholic Exorcisms.
