Residents of Milan, Italy who are facing a demonic possession are in luck. They can now call the Exorcist Hotline and have a real priest come to their homes for an exorcism!
Apparently there has been an increase in the number of people asking for exorcisms which is what led the Catholic diocese of Milan to establish this hotline. They have even doubled the number of exorcism-practicing priests from six to 12 in order to handle all the calls they receive!
A special switchboard is set up where people can call between 2:30pm and 5pm Monday through Friday. Some priests have reportedly seen more than a hundred people a day for exorcisms!
Luckily, this doesn’t mean that demons are slowly taking over everyone’s bodies as a lot of the so-called “possessed” individuals simply suffer from behavioral or mental problems. Many calls are even from frustrated parents who are unable to handle their rebellious children.
