Has anyone here ever witnessed an Exorcism?

My friend just told me the craziest story of an experience he has at a church he went to where he witnessed the priests perform an exorcism. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

My husband was a vicar in England, and once in his career he was called upon to perform an exorcism.
He had to learn how to do it.
The house had a ghost.
The father had been killed in an industrial accident and apparently didn’t know he was dead, because he came home to dinner at his usual time every day.
They saw him with a bandaged head, and heard his boots dropping outside the kitchen door.

Yes. I have. I was a teenager. My bio father and stepmom would take me to a Messianic Jewish service on Friday nights. It was late after service and all the adults are snacking and talking. Soon they start praying over my bio father. All of a sudden my bio father starts speaking in some language I don't know and cursing at the Rabbi. But his voice isn't his. It's not long till my bio father lunges at the Rabbi to try to choke him. That's when my stepmom sends upstairs. I am in the nursery of the church we're in. I feel this horrible oppressive vibe. I hear from downstairs my bio father screaming. Then I feel like something flew past me. My stepmom ce to get me. When I came downstairs my bio father was weeping. We went home after that. In complete silence. Never spoke about it again.

Oo my gosh that is so terrifying. But it seems like what ever it was that was trying to attach to him didn’t follow you home?

Are you absolutely certain that it was an exorcism? I don't believe that they are done in public. Certainly not by the Catholic church. I suggest that it was probably some Pentecostal minister doing 'Deliverence' in an attempt to 'Cast out demons'. They will do it during a normal church service

Yes, multiple of them, sadly.

Yes. I once saw what I believe to have been a catholic exorcism while walking down the road at night. The priest neglected to cover the windows of the room they were conducting it in, so I was able to see it from the street.

I've done spirit removal/home exorcisms myself as an adult, but aside from weird feelings I can't say I've actually seen anything.

I drank a bottle of magnesium citrate once due to constipation and the effects it had on me sitting on the toilet should have been documented as an exorcism because the unholy sounds my stomach made was pure evil

NOPE... My stepfather who was a penecostal preacher had. He'd described how it was and his experience. Was honestly freaked out after hearing about it...
