True Ghost Stories & Hauntings: Real Catholic Exorcisms

If you want to know that evil exists, just look at the times we are living in. More atonement and penance is needed in this country and world.

This book kept me enthralled and I wanted to keep reading. I don't know how much is actually factual, but it deepened my belief in God. It was truly a thought provoking book that makes you truly wonder how this happens to such good people.

I am a Catholic Lay missionary with extensive first hand encounters with demons the past 26 years. I thought I knew much about the infernal enemy. I was wrong. This book opened my eyes to dark demonic realms I never knew.

Okay, so I love horror stories as much as the next person but this seems a bit much. Exorcisms have always seemed kind of far-fetched to me. Overall this one's okay, it's not great but it's decent. It's a collection of 'true' stories of exorcisms performed by the Catholic Church. This is usually great but if you're looking for substance I think you'll be largely disappointed. There are only a few stories and most of them are very, very well-known (and have been adapted to film). If you've never read/heard of these stories then you may find something worth reading here. On the other hand, you may find it a boring read if you've already seen/heard of these stories.

This is ok to read. It is quick and easy to read, but a bit slow in the pacing. If you are interested in possession and exorcism, give it a try. If not, run.

This book is excellent! Provides details of some exorcisms, as well as information conveyed to priests who are called by God to undertake this soul-wrenching work.Nothing here is exaggerated or distorted to make it more commercially noticed or desired; it is full of facts. And that is exactly what I respect!

True Ghost Stories & Hauntings: Real Catholic Exorcisms recounts several actual exorcisms performed by the Catholic Church, including the exorcism that inspired William Peter Blatty’s novel The Exorcist. Written in a very matter-of-fact prose, the book easy to read. However, even more than the lurid tales of demonic possession, it was the typos which raised the hair on the back of this reader’s neck.

I’m a horror addict… I was expecting a scary novel, but there was no fear aspect to this. There are no scary details about the exorcisms. It’s merely, “the priest read from the book, and the demon was expelled..” if you’re reading this for research, it’s probably beneficial for you. Otherwise, don’t waste your money.

I prefer to have had real accounts, but I find it more religious it comes out with things like don’t play with Ouija boards a lot of biblical talk and then I talk about the existing law related accounts that have already been made in the movies so nothing that normally knows i wasn’t very impressed at all
