Several kinds and intermediate levels of demonic interference can be distinguished, ranging from temptation to possession. |

The list of spiritual threats possibly resulting in demonic tormenting presented below is not exhaustive and contains the most common of contemporary practices. It was constructed based on the knowledge of the Church (the Roman Ritual), exorcist priests books and testimonies of people freed from the evil spirits actions. |

Symptoms of demonic interference may appear on various surfaces and be characterized by various scales of intensity, apply to people, animals, places and objects. An exorcist priest’s task is to recognise the scope of the evil spirit’s action in a given case. His evaluation is usually conducted after medical examinations in order to exclude, e.g. mental disorders or a natural genesis of the phenomena. |

A possession is a state in which a person’s body has been taken control of by Satan. It is an extreme state of devil’s actions on a human being. How to recognise it?

The difference between a mental disorder and a possession is not always obvious, especially in cases, where medicine claims the right to spiritual matters. Every case takes intuition and a separation of a psychiatrist’s and an exorcist’s competence. |

 Anneliese Michel (ur. 21 września 1952 w Leiblfing w Bawarii, zm. 1 lipca 1976 w Klingenbergu nad Menem). Doświadczyła na sobie mnogiego opętania. Ks. Ernst Alt, kierownik duchowy Anneliese, którego wtajemniczała w swoje największe sekrety, opowiada, że dziewczyna dobrowolnie przyjęła na siebie cierpienia związane z opętaniem jako pokutę za grzechy innych ludzi. Męczarnie, jakich przy tym doświadczała, powodowały jednak, że pragnęła końca udręk i poddania się egzorcyzmom.
