Clergyman to perform exorcism (Norway)

Karasjok health center in northern Norway has asked the local minister to help drive out evil spirits from a care residence in the town. The minister has accepted the assignment, newspaper VG reports.

The elderly resident says his home is haunted, as did the previous occupant of the residence. The night watchmen at the Karasjok health center also report that they feel uneasy in the apartment, where doors slam and objects fall off shelves.

The center has now asked minister Arild Hellesøy to bless the room in the hope of establishing calm, and he met with officials on Thursday to discuss how this could be done.

The Sami television program Oddasat broadcast a report on the troubles in Karasjok, but local head of social services Svein O. Pedersen said that he was only aware of the ghost story in the form of rumors.

This isn't funny...I used to live in a house where doors slammed and objects went flying through the air...nearly every night.

I couldn't take it anymore so I went out and found an exocist-divorce lawyer and my problems went away...:)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but blessing a dwelling does not equal an excorcism.

We used to get our house blessed about once a year when I was a kid. It was basically "protection money" for the church.
