We have all seen "The Exorcist" and the many other movies about demonic possession; but just how common is it for someone to be possessed by a demon, or even the devil himself? The Catholic Church has its own "Exorcist Department" and helps literally thousands of people a year across the globe. But what is real demonic possession and what is a psychiatric illness - and how can we tell the difference? I draw upon my experience as a clinician, a Catholic - and a Psychic Medium - to try to shed some light on this fascinating (but scary!) topic!
