The 67 Catholic Exorcisms said by the two priests involved for Anneliese brought at best temporary relief, but in the end were considered a failure due to her unanticipated and tragic death at just 23 years old. Goodman wrote: “Exorcism is basically designed to help the afflicted person to gain ritual control over the molesting entities … Unruly spirits (also) need to and indeed can be trained. Without ritual intervention, the undoing of such a pattern is extremely difficult, especially so if the alter is evil or, in religious terms, if the possessing entity has demonic powers. … It is the only strategy used cross-culturally against demonic possession, and in all instances where it is allowed to work without interference, it is eminently successful. … The worst situation in the West is the one involving demonic possession. Those afflicted by it need help. Exorcism works, other strategies do not, yet their diagnosis and treatment are determined not by what works but by the prevailing attitudes, the paradigm concerning the nature of reality. The position is so ingrained that arguments that religious experience is accompanied by measurable and recordable physiological changes are totally ignored. Finally, it should be noted that Mary, the mother of Jesus, reportedly told Anneliese in a vision she had months in advance that her ordeal would be over on the day she actually died.” What is the divine perspective on this outcome, and were the exorcisms “successful” according to the divine? What can Creator tell us?

An episode of the cable TV program, Paranormal Caught on Camera (Series 8, Episode 12) showed striking videos captured over a period of weeks in 3 different countries, of animals seemingly in a frozen state for a time, despite things happening normally around them. The first, from Zhoushan, China, shows a cat which remained absolutely motionless on a busy walkway with people streaming by, even when touched by someone. The second shows a field in Santiago, Chile, with many wild rabbits absolutely frozen in place as the camera approaches and pans about. The third video of an event in Springtown, Texas, shows a group of four horses filmed by their owner, which look as though they were walking single file but were frozen in mid-stride and remained motionless in the rain despite a nearby shelter. At first glance, it looks as though a giant still photo of four horses walking in a line was somehow filmed with live rain in the foreground. But close inspection shows clearly that while the horses appear frozen, portrait-like, the tail hanging behind the second horse from the left visibly moves in the breeze. The woman who made the video on her phone appears on camera and attests to it being genuine and quite puzzling to other horse owners she has consulted. I know that alien technology can “switch people off” as when abducting someone from a dwelling for a time, so they can be taken and then returned without anyone having a memory of the intrusion. Is this technology being employed to “show off” as part of the build-up to Alien Disclosure, or are all of these videos just hoaxes somehow sharing a similar theme, which was described by the program as perhaps being a “glitch in the matrix?”
