Ep 146 - Hospital Exorcisms

The mere mention of the mysterious practice of "exorcisms" can make us feel uneasy, conjuring up images of demonic possession and a struggle between good and evil beyond human comprehension. Our guest on this episode, Dr. Paul Blair, is a healthcare chaplain at the Riverview Heath Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, who recently wrote a doctoral dissertation about exorcisms. We'll discuss the reasons why exorcisms are needed, the myths and misconceptions surrounding them, and the crucial role of qualified individuals in carrying out these rituals. Paul also shares a few of the eerie experiences of his healthcare colleagues and discusses some of the exorcisms that he has performed in the hospital.
