The stories behind four exorcisms

Teenager at the Vatican

Pope John Paul II reportedly performed an exorcism on a 19-year-old girl at the Vatican in 2000. Father Gabriele Amorth, the official exorcist for the Diocese of Rome, had attempted to exorcise the girl the day before and failed. Her parents brought her to Pope John Paul II’s Wednesday audience in St. Peter’s Square in hopes that a Papal blessing would do her some good, but apparently it just incensed her even more. Italian newspapers wrote that the girl started screaming insults at the Pope in a “cavernous voice” and struggled with guards with superhuman strength. The Pope was informed about her and spent 30 minutes with her. When the Pope left, the girl said (in a voice apparently not belonging to her), “Not even the head of the church can send me away.”

Lee Hadwin, the "Sleeping Artist"

By day, Lee Hadwin is a nurse from north Wales, UK and by night he is an artist. That’s not so unusual, but here’s where Lee is different:

… but when he wakes up, he says he has no memory of having created them.

Hadwin has been walking in his sleep since he was four, but it was only when he stayed over at a friend’s house, aged 16, that he first began to draw in his sleep. "The next morning, my friend’s mother found drawings all over the walls in the kitchen," he says. "But we had been drinking that night, so we put it down to that." (Source)
