Demonic activity on the rise?

Interesting interview (link includes video) with exorcist priest:

Thomas, 53, told Pasmore that he himself has "performed exorcisms on six people a total of approximately 50 times."

He has seen about 100 people in the past four year who believed they were possessed by the devil, according to a piece in the Los Angeles Times.

Thomas' training and journey is chronicled in the book "The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist," which was the basis for the Mikael Håfström-directed movie "The Rite." Thomas actually spent a week on set, serving as an adviser.

Journalist Matt Baglio wrote the book featuring Thomas and is part of the new docudrama. He said according to priests and exorcists, reports of possessions and demonic activity are on the rise.

"They are very clear that they are getting inundated with people who are coming to them and asking for help," he said in the film. According to the producers behind the new docudrama, their film "cuts through all the Hollywood hype about demonic possession, the devil, and the rite of exorcism and tells the true story about the ancient rite."
