    First, the exorcists sprinkled holy water on the demon-possessed person, which would usually elicit frantic fits and convulsions from the demons. Then, the exorcists recited lengthy prayers, and words from the Bible were read aloud. Next, the exorcists chanted a litany of saints. Finally, the priests shouted at the demons, saying, "In the name of God, depart with all thy noxious and accursed works and attempts from this servant of God, nor presume longer to injure him and his property."
