In December 2021, panic erupted inside a historic church in Vicenza, Italy. A 26-year-old woman entered the confessional seeking help, then began to scream, curse, and speak in strange voices. Within minutes, priests locked the doors.

Police and medics waited outside as four friars battled what they believed was the Devil for nearly nine hours.

Was it genuine possession… or a crisis of faith and psychology spiraling in real time?
