Throughout the sessions objects flew off The shelves around her when holy water Was sprinkled on her she screamed in Pain ultimately despite the best efforts Of Gallagher and the rest of the team Julia’s story did not have a happy Ending one day she called a halt to the Sessions her willingness to reject the Devil was it seems gone she instead Chose to embrace the darkness the last Contact Gallagher had with Satan’s Queen Was about one year later she told him That she was chronically ill when he Offered to help her again she rebuffed Him the psychiatrist says that he never Heard from her again The demonic entity it seems had Ghin are a class of supernatural Creature made of smokeless fire as I Mentioned in the Quran and throughout Islamic mythology whilst there are Benevolent examples to be found such as The genie of the lamp from the story of Aladdin Geon are often portrayed as Malevolent shape-shifting tricksters These extremely powerful beings are said To have an inclination towards Wrongdoing most especially after many of Them followed the evil lead of a bliss a Jinn who disobeyed orders and refused to Bow to the superiority of the first man Adam the Islamic equivalent of Christianity Satan he bliss supported by His horde of demonic jinn vowed to lead

Lady was in urgent need of his help When he returned to New York in August He was made aware of the full details of The situation the lady was called Mary Ann she was 26 years old and was as Father Peter was told entirely subjected To an evil spirit as a child Mary Ann Had struggled at school an intelligent Girl with a sharp and curious mind she Had often questioned the teachings of Her religious instructors contradicting What they regarded as unquestionable Truths this had left her alienated and Alone in her teenage years Mary Ann’s Mind turned towards dark thoughts Her parents were shocked and disturbed By her growing obsession with nefarious Acts she questioned morality and asked Why the most unforgivable crimes were Not instead regarded as an act of beauty She was infatuated with darkness however It was a couple of years later whilst Mary Ann was at college in 1956 that she Supposedly encountered true darkness Talking about her experiences later she Described meeting a figure who would go On to exert a great influence Over her for the next nine years Maryann Simply knew him asked the man one day She had been studying alone when she Felt suddenly without any sense of shock That someone was bending over her Shoulder and looking at the pages of her Book when she looked up she saw a man
Supposedly he was a rather tall Individual his face and clothes never Impressed themselves on her memory According to her later recollection of Events the man stayed with Maryann for About an hour Somehow he knew how isolated she felt And perfectly described her sense of Frustration at living in a world that Did not seem to understand her they are All pushing you along the ragged edge The man had said he then supposedly Asked Maryann if she wanted to get off It while she could not remember Everything that the man said during that Hour she claimed that his mouth which Bore a peculiar smiling expression Remained perfectly visible in her memory Ultimately the man had instructed her to Come and find me regularly telling her That she only had a short time to reach Her true self after this first encounter Marianne’s family and acquaintances Noticed definite changes in her Personality and habits whilst she had Already had a tendency towards solitude Maryann now rarely spoke with her Parents often disappearing from home for Long periods of time without explanation Over the next nine years the man became A regular fixture in Marianne’s life Under his dark influence she changed Profoundly she had vague memories of Being instructed by him of seeing him
Regularly of listening to him talk she Had accepted his authority and so as Marianne herself described later her Inner lifestyle Altered under his influence she was Possessed Her life as she explained became a Marriage with nothingness during the day She wandered the streets and was often Seen at the same Park in New York City Always she had a fixed expression a kind Of frozen smile that was only on her Mouth her eyes were blank her cheeks Unlined taut her teeth were never Visible through the fixed and smiling Lips those who frequently saw her Nicknamed her the smiler on several Occasions she was seen with little Wooden sticks which she ceremoniously Stood upright in the earth tying scraps Of cloth with a single bow to their base A witness described them as looking like Little crosses upside down on another Occasion Maryann was even seen with a Tall man with the same smile as hers he Was the only one able to calm her down After a sudden outburst in the park the Man appeared just as a police officer Tried to calm Maryann according to the Police officer he claimed that he was Her only relative in this world before He took her away from the park the pair Smiling together Maryann might have Continued to live as she did if it had
Not been for a sudden change in her Condition it is claimed that a visit by Her brother during which he presented Her with a crucifix ended terribly she Supposedly turned white as chalk and Fell rigidly to the floor she acted as Though she were in great pain in seconds The expression on her face had changed From dreamy to almost animal she foamed At the mouth and bared her teeth in a Grimace of pain and anger after this she Was moved to her parents house from here The possession is said to have quickly Escalated to the point where Maryann was Largely bedridden and would fall in and Out of a state similar to a coma it is Claimed that doctors could provide no Explanation for her condition a Psychiatrist even spent three weeks Observing her but could only conclude That she was normal within the Definition of any psychological test or Understanding the door of her room would Never stay either open or shut it was Continually banging to and fro no matter How she was washed and deodorized and The room scoured and cleaned it always Smelt of sodden filth and a putrefaction Unknown to them unable to find medical Or psychiatric help the assistance of The church was sought and so father Peter was summoned to perform an Exorcism When Peter arrived it was obvious to him
That Marianne’s condition was serious And that an exorcism should be performed As soon as possible in his opinion she Was under the influence of a demon an Assistant priest Father James was Present with Mary Anne’s father and Friends of the family also there to Provide help if necessary when the Priest began the exorcism Mary Ann who Had before that point being silent on The bed is reported to have opened her Mouth in a narrow slit and emitted a Long wailing howl which seemed to go on Without pause for breath and in full Blast for almost a minute those in the Room are said to have been thrown back Physically by the force of her cry a Friend of the family who was present Said that she sounded like what they Imagined a wolf or a tiger would sound Like when caught and disemboweled slowly After that Mary Ann was once again Silent with the smile she had become Known for the smile she supposedly Shared with the man back on her mouth Twisting her lips into a corkscrew shape Father Peter continued to read from the Bible commanding the possessing spirits To identify itself and leave Mary Ann as The demon believed to be possessing her Became more agitated hurling abuse and Personal So sat father Peter a chest of drawers In the room is said to have rocked back
And forth its brass handles rattling Through Mary Anne the demon revealed Intimate details about father Peter the Verbal assault it seemed was personal And the strain it placed on the priest Was immense as the breakpoint at the Moment when the demon reveals itself Approached Mary Anne had to be held down So as not to hurt herself The science of Mary Anne’s mouth were Pulled back it seen the grimace Stretched to her ears baring teeth gums Tongue a greyish firm bubbled and seeped Over her lower lip and down her chin her Eyes were open but rolled up so far that They saw only white red streaked patches Glistening wet eventually the pretense Fell and the possessing spirit was Exposed no longer claiming to be Mary Anne the voice spoke directly to father Peter when commanded to identify itself With Peter asking how shall we call you The voice simply replied smiler I just Smile with great effort father Peter was Able to expel the demon and Mary Anne Was freed however this came at great Personal cost the confrontation with the Demon during the exorcism supposedly Damaged Peter so much that he never Recovered almost a year later in 1966 he Died Speaking with another priest after his Funeral service father James the priest Who had assisted during Mary Ann’s
Exorcism explained how Peter was gone Really gone after that day some part of Him passed into the great beyond During the final clash he claimed after His encounter with the smiler father Peter who supposedly never the same Again sinisterly many years earlier when Father Peter was a much younger man Performing his first exorcism the Possessing spirit had told him as it Would be back for more not on his third Strike his third exorcism father Peter Would be out thank you for watching if You enjoyed this and have not done so Already please subscribe for more of the Paranormal to never miss an upload be Sure to turn on all notifications by Clicking the Bell icon next to my Subscription box and if you cannot wait For more why not watch my film featured Documentary on life In search of the debt click the join Button here on YouTube or head over to Patreon and you can not only stream the Documentary but get access to bonus Unreleased footage as well the links to Where to watch are in the description Until next time
