In his "Beyond Belief" series 'Hannity' Investigates Exorcism
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,518837,00.html

SEAN HANNITY, HOST: Our continuing "Beyond Belief" series takes a look at mysterious religious practices around the world. Tonight, we take a look at exorcism.

(SCREAMING)

THOMAS: They will do all that they can to hide from anybody who invokes them to come out, to free the party from the state of obsession.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's all a waste of time.

HANNITY: But convincing people that exorcisms are real is still a tough task.

BAGLIO: Once I started reading up on the theology and then later once I participated in exorcisms, I really got to see it in a new light. Exorcists don' have magical powers. They aren't charismatic individuals who have this ability to cast out demons at the snap of a finger. Really, the power comes through the prayer.

THOMAS: Just because we cannot see something or feel something or measure something does not mean that it does not exist. And Satan's great deception is convincing people that Satan does not exist.

HANNITY: So are demonic possession and exorcism rituals the products of an overactive imagination? Exaggerated plots of Hollywood movies? Or are they simply beyond belief?
