The Exorcist, by Linda Blair

i think it's part of the cultural fabric of the united states that's always been seen as a legitimate. We're very responsive to ceremony, i think, and istent ceremony. And that if we are brought up with the idea of something having an inherent legitimacy, it's hard to shake even if you don't actively believe in it at all. Thereis this feeling that a lot of parents have, like the child they knew is suddenly possessed or afflicted by some other presence that they did not choose to welcome in to their homes.
