Dramatic increase in witchcraft and exorcism in UK

Post by Maria »

Police said Sunday a specialist unit received 46 such cases in 2014, more than twice as many as the year before.

The "Project Violet" unit says 60 incidents have been reported so far this year, continuing the upward trend.

Could this be due to the Harry Potter stories?

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
