Yes it is called Pathological Liar or Compulsive Liar.
If someone is lying to gain something whether it be admiration, power, money, etc. this is a Pathological Liar.
If someone is lying about everything even small details or changes stories around for no apparent reason this is a Compulsive Liar.
I personally think both are dangerous and both can and/or will lie for some sort of gain. Usually a Compulsive Liar will lie, know it's a lie, and actually believe it. A Pathological Liar might know they are lying and not necessarily believe it but will defend it.
Hope this helped.

How to get a spirit out of a home?
there is no such thing. there is no scientific data to support it. the "spirit" lies within the heart and the mind of the person who believes it is there. until that issue is addressed, the "spirit" will never leave the home. sometimes seeing a religious figure (like a priest) bless the house or area of the house where said "spirit" is can assist the person suffering from this mental illness. it reinforces the idea that "god" has asked the spirit to leave the house therefore allowing the mentally ill person to believe that it's ok to not believe that a "spirit" is there anymore.
