Bizarrely, it seems an exorcism reality show is currently being plotted in a joint-project between Discovery Channel and the Vatican.
‘The Exorcist Files’ will recreate real-life cases of demonic possession and hauntings that have been investigated by the Catholic Church. In an unprecedented gesture, the Vatican will allow Discovery Channel access into their case files, as well as interviews with the Church’s top exorcists.
"The Vatican is an extraordinarily hard place to get access to, but we explained we're not going to try to tell people what to think," Clark Bunting, president and general manager of Discovery said. "The work these folks do, and their conviction in their beliefs, make for fascinating stories."
If the first season proves successful, the network plans to ramp up the partnership to a new level by sending a TV crew along with the Catholic exorcist specialists on their visits to suspected demon-oppressed subjects and other supernatural problem cases.
