Suppose someone in your family undergoes a radical change in their behavior, aggression,

refusal to eat, bizarre religious references and symbology.

Is it possible they've been possessed by some demonic entity?

Or is it possible that a psychological diagnosis might help to explain it?

A medieval torture ritual called an exorcism.

The exorcism of Annalise is today on Skeptoid.

Hey everyone, Brian here.

A quick favor.

We're conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish.

So please check it out.

Also surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash Skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEPTOID.

Thanks.

You're listening to Skeptoid.

I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com.
