The Woman 'possessed by demons'


This exorcist segment remembered me of something a friend once told me of how to - fake - getting on public disability assistance (I didn't do it). He said to act out that way in front of social workers and therapists: claiming I heard voices and that I felt some unknown evil presence following me. So it did make me wonder if any of the people involved with this lady didn't come to the same conclusion, but for whatever reason didn't express it (I thought that may have been why the priest preforming the exorcism didn't want to be shown. Maybe partly out of embarrassment, or partly because he suspected she was performing an elaborate scam).

It was mentioned how she was abused, was a prostitute and had been working for a landscape company, but they acted as if she no longer worked for this company, but also didn't say how she was getting her money to live now....other than writing one book of her experiences!
