I don't buy it.


I've been forced to watch this show because my mother constantly watches it, and I just cannot buy it. The last episode talked of a person who had gotten bitten. Surely, there would be some kind of DNA evidence from the bite wound that could be physically analyzed in a lab to prove 100% what in the hell actually bit this woman. I saw her arm clearly, and there was plenty of evidence there! (The Leave Or Die Episode)

If this was such a big deal, then why isn't the scientific community running at that like a herd of buffalo? As for paranormal, I'm more likened to believe in extraterrestrial, and that most of the demons and demonology are actually just another race that may be more malicious or have different means that we can't understand, yet they have total contact with out realm through certain dimensional ripples. (Referencing H.P. Lovecraft's "Form Beyond" here)

These old books on demonology and exorcism and all that are OLD, and perhaps there should be a new type of thinking. I'm not one to blatantly disregard the spiritual realms and life after death, but I do feel that the ugly pictures of demons could be exaggerated as much as Renaissance depictions of a Caucasian male Christ.

Scientists have found that anti-matter exists, and that means that other dimensions are indeed possible, so we must start looking into a new direction with this sort of thing, and truly find out what these things really are, and why ancient Latin chants seem to drive them off. Is it the words themselves, or the energy contained within them, when one speaks them aloud during an exorcism. I am sure that English and Latin have both been used in an exorcism just as much as any other language. Is there some sort of demon translator that they have where they're like "Oh no...this is a French exorcism" or "this is a Spanish exorcism."

Also, there is one certain episode that just makes me holler a big fat BOLLOCKS, and that is the episode where the girl who is possessed by the spirit says that she doesn't want this exorcist to come to the house (who has not yet arrived) and it calls him by name. What is there, some kind of demon internet? Does the demon look up his name and find that he's an exorcist, and then decide "Well, I don't want him here!"

NO! It's another dimension, so that's impossible. But would be pretty funny if it was. I would like to interview these people, no...I'd like to find the truth behind the whole deal, and have the corporation that owns Animal Planet and many other channels just say hey "Yeah, we paid them to exaggerate a little, did some fake exorcisms, and got your cash, by feeding you lies."

I don't buy it either... just watched the episode where the lady is convinced the 'goth' flatmate who moved out (who she was having problems with) put a curse on the house and filled it with demons or something. She was like 'I've lost my job, my boyfriend broke up with me, my car won't start, it's got to be witchcraft'. I can't help but think there must be more reliable witnesses out there to paranormal stuff if I'm going to believe a show like this. Most of the people seem a little crazy. I bet if we got to talk to the goth chick she'd be like 'that lady was messed up, and totally paranoid, I accidentally left a necklace there and she thought it was spell-casting. Sheesh'.
