Unhinged or unholy? Fiend or fraud? That’s what authorities had to decide about the French nun Marie-Thérèse Noblet (1889–1930). She suffered sudden diseases that were as quickly cured, chokings, night beatings, unclean visions of blasphemous scenes, violent shakes witnessed by onlookers, foul assaults from filthy beasts, including one she recalled as “full of terrible beauty with eyes full of hate.” Then there’s Sr. Jeanne of the Angels, the seventeenth-century prioress of her Ursuline convent, plagued by diabolical visits with an explicitly erotic element, which spread, epidemic-like, to the Ursuline sisters under her care, whose convulsive attacks and obscene contortions scandalized all who witnessed them. Were these sisters really demonic? Deranged? Or merely deceitful? That’s the first question exorcists must answer — the question addressed in these pages by the world-famous French neuropsychiatrist Jean Lhermitte. Genuine demonic possessions, admits Lhermitte, evade the explanations and exceed the competence of even the wisest physicians: they must be handled not in the clinic, but by the Church. At the same time, exorcisms will not help the symptoms of those who are mentally ill. So skilled physicians and trained clergy must press past the visions, the gibbering, the howlings and grindings of teeth, and the other frightening symptoms to discern whether they’re dealing with real possession, or only pathology, mental or physical. That’s the work Dr. Lhermitte undertakes in these pages. With sober clarity and reserve, he reviews the detailed clinical records of scores of cases that startled and alarmed our forefathers as well as the cases of many souls that he personally examined: unfortunate souls judged “possessed,” who manifested symptoms ranging from picturesque to loathsome and pitiful. By means of these cases, Lhermitte illuminates the criteria that the Church holds to be decisive signs of genuine possession ... and those that assure us that — despite filth and fits, shrieks and slobbering — in other cases the influence of the demon is sought in vain. Good priests and wise Catholic physicians know that, for the sake of their souls, those who are disturbed must never be hastily examined or casually judged. True or False Possession? will teach you, too, not to rush to judgment and show you when it’s time — right now! — to call the priest.

Excerpt from The True Possession In sending out this story, I have realized that we can only give that which is our own. We can theorize and perhaps deliver good advice, but unless we have proven and applied our theories we do not make the experience our own, and have, therefore, no just right to expect what we say to reach or help anyone, be cause no one is willing to receive something from some one to whom that something does not belong. This is even more true about thoughts than about material things. It often seems strange to us that children do not more readily respond to that which we have given time and labor to explain, but do we pause to consider whether we are attempting to give something we do not possess? Whether it be love, unselfishness or anything else. It is not what we teach, however able it may be, it is what we are, that reaches them, and we need never look for their response to anything less. To those, who put this story in the hands of children, I can say it is a gift for each little one, for they can make the truth in it their own, as the one who gives it to them has proven it more than once.

An excerpt from the beginning of the Introduction - First Notions: POSSESSION is a term of common occurrence and no mean significance in the law. It imports something which at an earlier time constantly made the difference between having the benefit of prompt and effectual remedies, or being left with cumbrous and doubtful ones; which in modern times has constantly determined and often may still determine the existence or non-existence of a right to restrain acts of interference with property, the relative priority of the claims of competing creditors, or the incidence of public burdens; and which for centuries has been, and is still capable of being, of critical importance in defining the boundary between civil wrongs and crimes. Yet, as the name of Possession is in these and other ways one of the most important in our books, so it is one of the most ambiguous. Its legal senses(for they are several) overlap the popular sense, and even the popular sense includes the assumption of matters of fact which are not always easy to verify. In common speech a man is said to possess or to be in possession of anything of which he has the apparent control, or from the use of which he has the apparent power of excluding others. We shall have to consider hereafter whether the measure of apparent power depends merely on physical facts, or is liable to be affected by the appearance or reputation of right. For the present we start with this, that any of the usual outward marks of ownership may suffice, in the absence of manifest power in some one else, to denote as having possession the person-"to whom they attach. Law takes this popular conception as a provisional groundwork, and builds up on it the notion of possession in a technical sense, as a definite legal relation to something capable of having an owner, which relation is distinct and separable both from real and from apparent ownership, though often concurrent with one or both of them. Possession, again, whether in the popular or in the legal sense, does not necessarily concur with title. No plain man would hesitate to say that a squatter or a thief possesses himself of the land occupied or the goods carried away; and the law says so too. But the true owner, or some one claiming through him, ought to have the physical control of whatever has been wrongfully occupied, and will recover it if the law be fulfilled. In other words, the true owner or his delegate is entitled to possession; he is not possessor, but he ought to be. The temptation is great to speak of him as the rightful possessor, or to slide from the idea of right to possession into that of right of possession; and even the language of lawyers has not escaped it. Again, a man who has possession with the true owner's consent may be bound to restore it on demand; here too the right of resuming possession is apt to be confounded with possession itself, or with that right to possession which the possessor at the will of another has until that other's will is determined. On the other hand, since the person entitled to possess is generally (though not always) the owner, and in any case is he whom wrongful possessors have most to fear, a right to possess, even a limited, conditional, or deferred right, is no less apt to be confounded with that more general right to deal with the possession which coincides with ownership.... ...And, as if the inherent difficulties were not enough, others have been added in the course of modern legislation by making various effects and incidents of possession depend, for particular purposes, on the presence or absence of further particular conditions; and this without declaring (except in some cases by the addition of epithets having no settled meaning in law, and themselves requiring interpretation) in which or in how many of its more or less authenticated senses the word Possession was used.

"The Exorcist", a 1973 movie about a twelve-year-old girl possessed by the Devil, frightened people more than any horror film ever did. Many moviegoers sought therapy to rid themselves of fears they could not explain. Psychiatrists coined the term "cinematic neurosis" for patients who left the movie feeling a terrifying presence of demons. At the Washington premiere, a young woman stood outside the theater, trembling. "I come out here in the sunlight," she said, "and I see people's eyes, and they frighten me." Among the few moviegoers unmoved by the horror were two priests, Father William S. Bowdern and Father Walter Halloran, members of the Jesuit community at St. Louis University. "Billy came out shaking his head about the little girl bouncing on the bed and urinating on the crucifix," Halloran remembers. "He was kind of angry. 'There is a good message that can be given by this thing,' he said. The message was the fact that evil spirits operate in our world." Bowdern and Halloran knew that the movie was fictional veneer masking a terrible reality. Night after night in March and April 1949, Bowdern had been an exorcist, with Halloran assisting. Bowdern fervently believed that he had driven a demon from a tormented soul. The victim had been a thirteen-year-old boy strangely lured to St. Louis from a Maryland suburb of Washington. Bowdern's exorcism had been the inspiration for the movie. The true story of this possession, told in Possessed, is based on a diary kept by a Jesuit priest assisting Father Bowdern. The diary, the most complete account of an exorcism since the Middle Ages, is published for the first time in this revised edition of Possessed.
