From another story:

Exorcist claims 'beautiful women' are more likely to be possessed by evil demons

An Islamic exorcist has made the bizarre claim that beautiful women are more likely to be possessed by evil spirits.

Mallam Luthfi Jamal-Baba, an Imam and exorcist from Ghana, west Africa, said that although men can be inhabited by 'jinns' (spirits), beautiful women are more prone to possession.

He said: “Some of the jinns are stubborn and when the victim is in a trance, they become violent and try to attack the exorcist during the exercise."

"When it happens that way, the victims are tied with a rope and sometimes chained to chairs to keep them calm."

However, Mallam Mohammad, another exorcist believes that caning victims during exorcism gets the jinns out more quickly.

"The victims, at that moment, do not feel the pain. The jinns are the ones who feel the pain and it is at this moment, together with the Quranic recitation, that they flee," Mohammad said.

But Mr Nuworza Kugbey, a clinical psychologist at the Guidance and Counselling Placement Centre at the University of Ghana, said the symptoms are likely to be related tp psychotic disorders.

“These are disorders that can be treated with both medication and psychotherapy,” Mr Kugbey said.

The *famous* game of Charlie Charlie?

Never heard of it.

Those who play with ouija boards, or any other kind of occult activity, are asking for trouble.

Demon possession is real, but I don’t believe these accounts are real demon possession.

Sounds more like the person in Comment # 1 is creating an opening for possession rather than removing one.

Sure, because Charlie is an ancient Mexican name.

According to Father Amorth, who wrote the book an Exorcist tells his story, Ouija boards or similar methods of Spirit contact are the most common way people become obsessed and or possessed in these modern times.

I don’t know what Charlie Charlie is, and I don’t want to know. Anyone who messes with the Devil is a fool.

So, let me get this straight, this imam needs to tie up and cane beautiful women to “get the demons out”. Sounds legit.

Ethnompsychiatrists visit these tribes and then they talk to the spirit, trying to reason and negociate with it. Ultimately the person is never exorcised but the spirit agrees to not hurt the person they possess and be content...

And be sure to pay your exorcist’s bill — If you don’t, you’ll get repossessed.
