Jane says her biggest fear is demonic possession. It’s not because she was exposed to The Exorcist too early in life, but rather because she grew up in a Russian Orthodox household. She was taught to believe that possession was possible. She even received two exorcisms as a kid. But is the concept of demonic possession as scary as the movies make it seem? What does a real exorcism entail?

On this episode of Your Weirdest Fears, host Larry Mullins sits down with parapsychologist Helané Wahbeh to find out. Listen as the two break down the stigmas surrounding demonic possession and learn what you can do if you ever find yourself in the presence of spirit.
