A widespread Christian superstition is that demons are real and can somehow take possession of a person. According to this view, the demon can be made to leave by prayer or by the intervention of an exorcist. The Catholic Church, especially in third-world countries, and the Anglican Church, among others, provide official exorcists for this task.

While exorcism can sometimes be as harmless as, say, oija boards, it can also exacerbate mental illnesses, since these are often the real issue for which demons are blamed. In a few other cases, manipulative Christians can use the pretence of exorcism to dominate or convert trusting persons.

the paranormal can indeed be dangerous especially if it is a demon. a demon is not like a ghost because it is not human in any kind of way. if a demon gets inside you an exorcism can be porformed but it doesn't always work. the demon can take over you and turn you into a murderer and also make you kill yourself too.
