This should be an interesting case:

via The Week:

Most ghost stories don’t wind up in court. But a family in Toms River, N.J., has filed a lawsuit demanding that their landlord let them out of their new lease and return their security deposit, because, they say, the house he rented them was “haunted.”

Interesting, NJ Paranormal Investigators say they have evidence of a haunting.  I checked their website and couldn’t find anything about the house.  The landlord thinks it’s a scheme to get out of the lease.  I suppose we’ll find out in court, and hopefully, we’ll see some evidence.

It’s a sad day folks! One of our favorite, most active of the past 15 years has been torn down. I think we always knew it would happen sooner or later, but we always kept hoping for later.

Here’s a photo for the memories:

And of course, a link to the rest:

This is pretty interesting, especially considering there’s a) an actual head exorcist, b) that he seems to perform much exorcisms, and c) he says what many of us think.  I can only imagine what stories he has to tell.

The whole reason this story was written, I think, was to chastise the exorcist for attempting to explain away child molestation within the Church by reason of demonic possession.  Look, most of us hold clergy in the highest regard, and expect that they are the model for the morals and spirituality that we expect from the Church.  But we have to remember, for a second, that clergy are human, as are we.  They, unfortunately, are subject to same rules of humanity that we are.  We sin, and so do Priests.  Society in general has it’s share of  lunatics, and those same lunatics infect every group in life, even the Church.  I’m not condoning in anyway the actions of these priests, or the way the Church handled the crimes.  As a Catholic, my faith lies with Jesus Christ, not the mortals that run the Church.

There may be something to this devil thing, after all. 

From the Times Online:

Father Amorth told La Repubblica that the devil was “pure spirit, invisible. But he manifests himself with blasphemies and afflictions in the person he possesses. He can remain hidden, or speak in different languages, transform himself or appear to be agreeable. At times he makes fun of me.”
