Dark Exorcism Page #2

---

until the day she

called me in hysterics.

She'd been watching him that day

when he somehow found

a metal spike,

and began carving

into his own arm.

She was unsure, and

feared for his life,

and asked me to visit him.

I agreed.

He was sweet.

He didn't disassociate,

was unaware of what he said

or did during his fits,

but knew that he had them,

and that it worsened.

His states of lucidity

dwindled in relation

to these episodes.

It was like he was disappearing.

And you were there the

day of his exorcism.

Jacob's parents contacted

an unlicensed specialist.

An excommunicated priest,

Father Santiago.

What did you see?

Help me.

I don't think I can

explain what occurred.

I can tell you nothing

in my lifetime,

my work before or after,

could have prepared me.

I've spent the last

12 years trying.

Is that your tape recording?

I couldn't listen

until months later.

Are you sure you

want to hear this?

Thank you, Professor,

I can handle it.

Yes.

Seven hours later, no change.

I took a much-needed break.

After only a few minutes

of having left the room,

he violently attacked his father

and jumped out a

third floor window.

The boy died, correct?

Yes, but not from

the initial fall.

He made it three blocks

on severely broken legs

before running directly...

In my expert opinion, this

boy was under the control

of something that was true evil.

Can I get a copy of that tape?

Watch Movies And Series!

What are you doing?

Professional, smart,

sex goddess.

I'm trying to focus here.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Very interesting.

It's research.

I'm meeting up with that

professor again tomorrow

to investigate

this lady's claims

that her house is

besieged by evil spirits.

You're kidding me.

You buy into any of this stuff?

Of course not.

Not even a little bit?

We don't live in the

dark ages anymore.

What?

I'm totally sleeping

with a heathen.

Shut up.

Like you're so righteous?

Hey, my family's

from North Carolina.

We're some God-fearing folk.

I don't know, I guess

if anybody could

make me a true believer...

She's debunked way more

than she's proven to be

true paranormal events.

Fellow academics lovingly refer

to her as the miracle killer.

But now she believes in this?

Maybe even more than people

who had just jumped to

conclusions, you know.

It's like she's actually

looking for real evidence

that there's something

more out there.

One case in particular

spooked her pretty bad.

This kid died in a

botched exorcism.

Yeah.

She played me the craziest tape.

I got a copy for my notes.

Well, this is all pretty

enthralling pre-bedtime material.

There was something

else I kinda wanted

to talk to you about.

I was just wondering if you'd

thought any more about

what I asked you

about last week.

I, I just, I really have

a lot of reading to do.

I mean, it just

makes sense, right?

We're both in new

periods of growth.

I'd really like to come home to

the same place as you every day.

Officially.

We are in a really

good place right now.

We can talk about it

again soon, I promise.

This is so crazy.

Look at these statistics.

Sixty percent of Americans

believe in ghosts?

Another twenty percent claim

a personal experience.

Hey.

Forty eight percent...

Buckley, stop.

I can't control myself.

Buckley!

There is no Buckley, only Zool.

No wait, look, look at this.

Five stages of a haunting.

Okay, stage one.

Cold spots, noises, odors, hearing

footsteps, and feelings of being watched.

It's so weird.

Stage two, gets more

advanced, right?

Whispers, laughs,

moans, shrieking.

Moans, shrieking,

now I'm interested.

Moans and shrieking

and moving shadows.

Stage three, lights and

other electrical appliances

turning on and off.

Unseen hands grabbing

or touching.

Writings or pattern markings.

Doors that open or

close themselves.

Stage four, the appearance

of full apparitions,

movement or disappearing

of objects, windows,

mirrors or other household

objects breaking for no reason.

And,

stage five, here.

The culmination of all the events

previous but with more intensity.

The entity has gradually moved

up into clear consciousness

from the energy

it's been building,

and then things get violent.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Sorry if I kept you

waiting at all.

The trains were

death this morning.

Good morning.

I hope you got a good rest.

Why, is there a

decathlon portion

of the day I'm not aware of?

These investigations can be

very taxing emotionally

on all parties.

It's best to enter with a clear

mind and a full battery.

Well, I've got my little

cup of go-go juice here,

so let's not waste any time.

You've got a lot of spirit.

You'll have to forgive me,

this is all pretty new to me.

I'm still trying to wrap

my head around it all.

I've been working

doubles at the hospital

with everything happening.

We're both a little on edge.

Sugar or milk?

No, this is fine, thank you.

Please, just from the beginning.

Well, it started

maybe a month ago.

Not enough to really

notice at first.

I would come home.

It was freezing.

My daughter thought the

pipes were broken,

because of this loud

clanging and banging.

Then, there were

the other sounds.

Um, what kind of sounds?

I feel silly saying this.

I mean, it's crazy.

It's okay, Ms. Mills.

Joan.

Joan, just be as

detailed as you can.

Mocking sounds.

Whispers, laughter,

things would be moved.

I'm scared.

Have you or anyone in the house been

attacked or physically assaulted?

Bethany, my daughter, she was thrown

from the bed a few weeks ago.

I went in the room.

I couldn't see anyone.

But I felt it.

Right behind me, I

felt this anger.

And my girl, she

hasn't been herself.

She won't eat, or sleep.

Sometimes she's just zoning out.

Have you ever experienced

anything like this

previous to a month ago?

No, we've been in this

house over 20 years.

After my husband passed, he had bone

cancer when my daughter was very young.

We've never had

anything like this.

Has your daughter always

been in the house with you?

Last year...

She was in a bad accident.

The driver wrapped his

car around a tree.

Died instantly.

We weren't sure she was...

I'm sorry, you just go through

this with your husband,

and then with your own child.

I'm not a very religious person,

but I prayed to every

deity I could remember,

and then made up some the day

that she opened her eyes

and came back.

What kind of injuries did your

daughter sustain in the crash?

Severe swelling, hemorrhaging,

she was in a coma a few weeks.

Terrible migraines.

Um, what kind of

medication was she on?

Pain killers, mostly.

Any permanent brain damage?

No, no, thank God.

All scans and tests came

back perfectly fine.

I think the doctors

were even surprised.

Is she home now?

May we speak to her?

Ms. Mills?

Where's your daughter?

I can't seem to get

her to come up.

She says it's not safe

for her to come up.

I want to tell her
