Episode 293 - Exorcisms, Possessions & Paranormal Rituals in India

This week, we take you deep into the heart of India, where ancient traditions meet the paranormal and Sabrina peers into her Fathers heritage.🌙👀 These ancient exorcism rituals are far from the Hollywood versions we know. After speaking with Chad & Carey Hayes, the writers of The Conjuring Movie, we were intrigued and our interest piqued about exorcisms in India. The mysterious town of Chogan, India is known for its exorcism practices. People travel to Chogaan seeking freedom from possession. From haunting chants, possessed souls, and spiritual healers wielding nothing but feather brooms and sacred ash, this town is like nothing you’ve ever heard of. But Chogan is not the only place in India that is known to perform exorcisms... there are many towns and temples and we've decided to highlight one where evil spirits are trapped and you MUST follow the rules to avoid being possessed yourself! 👹 This is the story of the temple Mehandipur Balaji - a place constructed by two deities who teamed up with a priest and has since become a sacred space to exorcise demons. Whether you’re a fan of supernatural stories, spiritual exploration, or you just love a good scare, you won’t want to miss this! Tune in for a deep dive into India’s lesser-known but truly bone-chilling exorcism traditions. 🔮 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell so you never miss out on our paranormal adventures.
