Excerpts

Shadows of a Time Past

Hours later, when the embers of the fire had died out, a few spectators converged on the blackened remains of Father Grandier, and, burning their fingers in the process, poked around the dust hunting for the charred remains of teeth, fragments of skull and ribs to be used as amulets against future evils. (France, August 18, 1634)

A late night infomercial from the U.S. offered a CD said to contain the voice of Satan himself recorded during Catholic, Islamic and Protestant Evangelical exorcisms. The CD was not for everyone, for the voice was so evil and macabre that people had been known to faint upon hearing it. Listeners were asked to dial 800-DEMONIC and have their credit cards ready. Price $29.95 for each CD and $9.95 for each cassette. (United States August 18, 2000)
