There have been many a movie made about the subject. Linda Blair's "The Exorcist" being (not very) arguably the most famous of them all. And now, we have a new version for today's generation, aptly titled, "The Last Exorcism".
It is primarily a well-known Catholic practice. And one, if done for real, and not faked in any way, being performed on a truly possessed victim, can be extremely frightening, let alone a draining task to partake in.
But Exorcisms also are performed within the Islamic, Hindu, Judaism and Buddhism faiths/religions, as well.

One of the most famous of our time, in Germany is the story of Anneliese Michel. She was reportedly possessed by six demon entities. She had underwent an exorcism in 1975.
Apparently, the movie, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" was at least in part, based upon the story of Anneliese Michel.
Please watch the following videos to get a better idea of Anneliese's story. They are speaking in Czechoslovakian, but English subtitles are included.

Of course not everyone believes in Possession, let alone Exorcism. And sadly, like always, Science and Religion will always collide.
Many people that do not prescribe to this as being a real infliction will tout that the person is just in some way, severely mentally disturbed. Be it Bipolar,Schizophrenia or other Mental Disorders.
The only ones that know for certain, if indeed Possession is for real, are those that are claiming as such.
You be the judge. Is Possession, and are Exorcisms real, or just something in your head?
If you steal from me, I will HAUNT you down!

I'm a psychologist and I believe in possession. Although I do believe some cases of possession were clearly mistaken cases of mental illness, there are signs that distinguish real possession from mental illness very clearly. There is a great book, An Exorcist Tells his Story, in which a Roman Catholic priest and cheif exorcist or Rome describes some of the cases he's seen. They are so different from any mental illness I've ever witnessed (and I work in a psychiatric hospital) that there is no mistaking the two.
