Meena was rumored to be the mistress of Sri Schmid, as well as a witch that put cursed herbs in Emma's meal. Emma was a dedicated Catholic in her childhood, but Husheduphistory.com reports that in her early adolescence, she could not enter a church without violent ideas of breaking the holy water fonts and damaging the priests. Emma could not bring herself to get a communian, and all the anointed items provoked the rebellion in it.

The last ghost Bhagai was organized in 1928 by an experienced priest, Capuchin Father Theophilus Resourge (played by several Oscar winners Al -Puchino), who already had a record of 19 successful Ojha. The ritual was performed in a local convent; And the entire ghost Bhagai was documented by local pastor, Father Joseph Stegar (Dan Stevens, Downton Abbey,

Two priests, different approaches

One of one of the subports Ritual There is tension between two priests. The priests shared a deep faith in God and commitment to his business, but widely different in his attitude towards the Ministry. Father Resinger served as an Ojha for years and oversee many successful exorcists. He knew how difficult it could be to face evil, but was committed to purifying the evil spirit from his human theme. Father Stegar, a young pastor, who was suspicious of the ritual, was careful when his bishop informed him that the ghost exercise would be performed in his parish; And he was afraid of Emma, ​​asking if he should not be taken to the hospital.
