I have done a little research into this Field of Exorcism. What I find interesting is that many religions from Pagan to Modern Christianity all have ways of getting rid of Demons that have taken control of the person. Some religions like Buddhist for example have ways of getting rid of the demon through a more peaceful win-win type of thing so persuading the Demon or unwanted spirit to leave the body. The Catholics have a whole book on it in which they learn how to command the Demon to leave the body in the Name of God. Taoist also have a way to get rid of Demons.
Even Wicca have ways to both channel a spirit using a person as a conduit which some get into but their are extreme risks to this as you are taking the chance that a spirit might invade and not leave that is why some Wiccans call on the Angels of Heaven even god to look over them. (I personally am not sure how that works as well wasn't the Bible pretty Against the whole witch craft thing.
I personally have never done it but I am learning how to do it from the Buddhist point of view as I am a follower of the Buddhist teachings.
I also believe in Demons and unseen spirits I can't show you or tell you how I know it is something that I have always felt my whole life. I know I can't prove it to you but you can't prove that they don't exist. I am a spiritual person but I am not for following faith blindly I follow it with my heart. I sometimes will go back to Christianity only to be cast out by the churches for some reason or another. Any way what do you think of this? Doesn't this show something or is it just a common theme for people to latch on to?

Hi dark_joev! Demons do exist whether we like it or not. Even in the olden days, they already co-exists with all of us who are materially present. Moreover, even during the time of our Lord Jesus, demons existed already. However, in this particular situation, the demons bowed down and succumb to the command of our Lord Jesus, the root of Christianity (Christianity - from the name of Christ).
As per experience, I did see people being possessed by unclean spirits. Various reasons are evident why people are being possessed but the point is, they do exist. People who are skeptic on this particular issue should be very critical in everything that they say. For all they know, their minds, ideas and thinking are already infested by the unclean spirits.

Roman Catholics here in our province, when curing the Possessed victim,
they doesn't bring the possessed victim into the priest instead,
they bring it to the Albularyo who conduct prayers also like a priest...
you see? the faith is not that strong enough...
it is against the law of 1st commandment of God....
Albularyo is not found in the scriptures of Roman Catholic and even in Holy Bible, Albularyo is not found also....

That would depend on what you follow in Wicca as well Wicca really is just neo paganism on steroids. I have been to several wiccan gatherings throughout the years and all of them for the same celebration where talking about a completely different set of gods some would call on the angles like Michael

Evil Demon possession is not true....
if God kill humans using Armageddon, World War, Tsunami, Epidemic, or other external forces as His own Mysterious Ways....
then...
Devil kill humans using temptation only....
Devil is a very smart angel....
devil is not that ignorant to possesses the person and screaming in pain if someone splash the possessed using Holy Water....
it is purely lunatic the person suffering possessed...
or a temporary brain damage...
soon it only recovers himself,
or having only a problem regarding his her family...
or want to be well know using scandals like that...
if the devil is the reason why that person is possessed,
then,
the possessed person should have the power to lift car without touching it....
the the possessed person has the ability to levitate floating in the air as science can't explain...
or hitting doors using unseen forces of unexplained power came from possessed palms...
but none of these feats you'll see....
the possessed person only shouting in horror like sounds,
or using only his own adrenalin to resist 3 persons that hold the possessed victim
or the ability to change voice language when speaking....
by that.... it is simply hoax,
therefore, drama,
the possessed victim simply doing DRAMA

I do not believe that the Devil messes with us either. I believe that it is the work of religion instilling this fear in the minds of children from infancy. We are programed to believe. Almost all civilizations have used some sort of demonic being to frighten its people into behaving. It is a pretty cool way to keep them in line. However, I do not need the fear of demons to keep me from misbehaving. I have a very good code of ethics by which I live. And I have never seen a demon or been possessed. I guess it is working...lol
