So the very first exorcism the priest allowed me to sit on was an elderly Italian lady.

She was there with her husband.

So I'm talking to her.

The priest who was training me, he walks into the room and he puts a roll of paper towels on the table.

He walks back out again.

He comes in again and ties a plastic grocery bag onto the wall radiator in the room where the

exorcism is going to take place.

And I'm watching him out of one corner of my eye and I'm talking to this lady.

He begins to pray.

He takes holy water and blesses the person.

As soon as the drops of water hit her head, her eyes rolled back in her head. She began to growl

and snarl and foam at the mouth. And then the eyes came back down with this horrid, angry look

staring at me. And I'm thinking, what in the world is going on? And the priest grabs a paper towel,

wipes her mouth off, throws it in the grocery bag, and then continues to pray.

So he's not even impressed by these manifestations.

Other manifestations can be that I've seen over the years.

There can be levitation where the body actually starts to rise out of the chair.

I've seen when demons manifest, the body drops to the

ground and begins to slither like a snake across the floor. Horrible smells, a drop in the

temperature of the room. The voice becomes deeper, more authoritative. All of these things are like a

child throwing a temper tantrum who wants the attention given to it,

whereas in an exorcism, the focus is always on God.
